Dear Colleagues:

I am Head of the Department of International Finance in the school of Economics at the Tsinghua University, perhaps the most prestigious university in China, and I am writing to recommend Mr. Hui Buhui, one of my favorite students, for acceptance into your Master's program.

I got to know him personally last semester when he was taking the course of Special Topics on International Finance that I was teaching. In the class, he showed great interest in economics. He studied conscientiously and often talked with me after the class about the questions that he had come across in his readings. Once when we talked about the country's ongoing restructuring of its tax system, he delved into the increasing cost of tax evasion. We then discussed several methods of calculating the cost. As we talked, I found that he was very skilled in expressing his ideas through diagrammatic curves and mathematics. Recognizing that the government's attitudes to acts of tax evasion will affect not only people's behavior but also the cost of levying taxes, he saw possible solutions to the problem in the Game Theory. I encouraged him to pursue this idea. He said he didn't know much about the Game Theory and proceeded to borrow some essays by Nash from me. He thus left me with a deep impression.

Studying with conscientiousness, Mr. Hui often came up with creative ideas. Unlike some other students, he studied not to just pass the exams but to really improve his knowledge and expertise. He stands out among his fellow classmates with an unmistakable thirst for genuine understanding of the country's economic realities and problems. That has won him appreciation from not just me but my colleagues as well. But he did do well in exams too. In the final exam of last semester, he got a high score of 90 for my course.

He often talks with me about his ideal to become an economist. To help quench his thirst for knowledge, I have lent many of my own books to him and tutored him in his self-study program. He has been much more engrossed in doing independent research than preparing for exams, but his grades still keep him ranked among the top 25% of his class. I think he is a very intelligent young fellow.

Mr. Hui has a good command of the English language. As he is well acquainted with me, he has often helped me in my own research by translating some English essays that I am too busy to translate. His translations are usually quite good. His oral English is good too. Compared with other Chinese students who may be applying to your program, I think Mr. Hui should be considered more favorably.

Well grounded in the theories of economics and the methodologies of economic research, and proficient in English, Mr. Hui should make an outstanding student in graduate studies. I have not seen many Chinese students who are so intent on achieving an academic career in economics. If you accept him, you will find that his drive and sense of purpose very contagious among the students. In view of all that I know of him, I strongly recommend him. If you want to know more about him, please don't hesitate to contact with me.

Sincerely,

Hao Zhang

Professor of Economics

To whom it may concern:

It is a great pleasure for me to write this recommendation letter on behalf of Miss Yang, a promising student of our School of Economics. During her first two academic years, I was her advisor and now, I am teaching her course COMPARATIVE ECONOMIC SYSTEM.

Due to Miss Yang ’s high intellect and incessant assiduity, she is an unquestionable top student. Her solid mathematical and theoretical backgrounds are quite worthy of mentioning. Among the 150 students in her grade, she is one of the three who have never got a grade lower than 90 (in 100 scoring scale) in MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS and LINEAR ALGEBRA. Also, her scores in MACROECONOMICS and MICROECONOMICS were the highest in her 32—student specialty class. At the same time, Miss Yang grasped every chance to satisfy her strong desire for advanced learning. Every time those alumni who had abstained ph. D degree in Ivy League came back to lecture to the graduate students, she audited without exception Their influence, in addition to her own ambition, helps her choose the way to pursue further study.

Moreover, Miss Yang impresses me with her ingenious and creative way of thinking. She often discusses with me about the development of the world economy. Through her logical canalization and stimulating ideas, I am sure she has the talent to combine intellectual independence with

well—grasped knowledge appropriately. This can also be demonstrated in our seminars. Profound insight and systematic expression always make her comments attractive and scintillating.

Miss Yang’s English is very good. In the highest level of College English test—Grade 6, only she was awarded “Excellent” certification of 32 students. In my assessment, she has full preparation for graduate study in an English—spoken country.

According to her outstanding performance and responsible personality, the School of Economics recommended her to work for CHINA IMPORT during her spare time, where she got experience and high evaluation. A few days ago, we nominated her as a graduate student, but she gave up the chance because she has admired your university. I can understand her and wish her success.

If further information about her is required, please don’t hesitate to contact with me.

Yours Sincerely,

Dean, School of Economics
