Recommendation Letter Oct20.2011

English Teacher : Gaofang

Student Name: Denglu Date of Birth:

To Whom it may Concern:

After serious consideration, I recommend Denglu to your university for further study.

It is a pleasure to have such an excellent student as Denglu in our class. She is

intelligent, diligent, attentive and has a strong enthusiasm in learning. With class work she is conscientious, alert and focused on the tasks. Her homework is thorough and punctual for she well understands the importance of this work in assisting her with her learning and she has developed competence in her exam technique with excellent time management skills.

In her English learning, she has a particular talent. Her vocabulary is broad and she is keen to both learn and use new words as a means of extending it. It is her aim to improve her speaking even though she is quite fluent. She reads well; is able to effectively scan and skim passages; and she appreciates the tone and attitude of the writer. As she enjoys writing, she is able to express her ideas clearly; to carefully argue a case; and her sentence and paragraph organization is excellent. Additionally, she not only works hard in English but also in all her other subjects. She actively takes part in class activities and is capable of learning by herself after class.

Deng is a friendly and well-mannered student with a great sense of humor, so she is very popular with others. She has obvious leadership qualities and she is always willing to make a positive contribution to class activities. In my English class she often has a great deal to offer her classmates and readily shares her understanding of language situations. She has been English homework and task monitor for more than two years and I really appreciate her assistance in my English teaching. Moreover, I am deeply impressed by her persistence, work efficiency and huge sense of responsibility.

Meanwhile, Deng enjoys participating in a diverse range of activities such as the

School Science Festival, the Sports Meeting and the Basketball Matches. We are very proud of her due to her wonderful performances in these activities as well as the

academic field, which always bring her lots of brilliant prizes. What has impressed me most is her exceptional speech in the 2009 School Opening Ceremony which she delivered as the only representative on behalf of all the students.

As far as I am concerned, Deng not only has an outstanding learning talent, but has the

confidence and ability to continue to develop this talent and if she maintains her ambition, she will become a highly competent student in the internationally academic environment. Therefore, I sincerely recommend Denglu to your university.

 

第二篇：出国留学申请-什么是好的推荐信

出国留学申请：什么是“好”的推荐信?

推荐信-----往往是中国学生申请美国大学时最容易忽略的环节。究其原因：无非因为三点：

1 绝大多数推荐信实际上是学生自己撰写的，只要让推荐人大笔一挥，签上名字即可

2 反正所有人的推荐信里都会夸夸其谈，说被推荐人是如何如何优秀，我只要一样照做就好了

3 推荐信只是个形式，美国大学要不要录取我，还是要看我的考试分数说了算

殊不知这样的心态，耽误了多少“潜力股”的大好前程。推荐信在整个申请过程中，起着至关重要的作用，它是申请者自我营销战略里至关重要的部分，一篇过于平淡的推荐信，很可能成为你申请材料里的一处硬伤，让你永无翻身之日。

一 什么是“好”的推荐信?

一封好的推荐信，能够通过列举真实的，具有启发性的事例或者描述申请人在某方面具备的潜力和特长，与其余申请材料配合，进而支撑整个申请定位。使申请人在众多与自己条件相当，甚至比自己条件更优秀的申请群体中脱颖而出。但要注意，单单靠一封好的推荐信，很难达到被美国优秀大学录取的目的，推荐信讲究的是“与其余申请材料的呼应和配合”。

举例：申请者A和B具有同样优秀的成绩和背景，但C大学面临只能从A和B中录取一名学生的窘境。A和B都将自己定位为“善于观察，乐于助人并且具有领导才能的人”。并且都在申请短文中做出了体现。这时候，轮到推荐信出场了。

A的推荐信如下：“做为校长，我可以肯定的告诉您，A是我见过的最优秀的学生之一，她不仅成绩优异，而且善于观察，时常帮助需要她的同学，她还是我见过的非常有潜力的学生领袖。”

B的推荐信如下：“通过他的标准化成绩，我想各位已经清楚的看到他在学习上多么优秀，我在此不再累述。我想告诉录取委员会一件B给我留下深刻印象的事情。20xx年，我们学校举办50周年校庆晚会，做为最值得信任的学生干部，老师们都同意此次活动交给B来组织，但是令我惊讶的是：B主动跑来找我，告诉我这件事情应该交给X同学。在我眼中，X向来是一个不善言辞的学生。但B说服了我，告诉我说：“X同学其实非常有创意，但因为他天性内敛，所以不敢表达自己，时常显的不自信，这次活动，是重塑X同学自信的大好机会。”我听取了他的意见，晚会举办的非常成功。我知道，在这个过程中，B投入了大量的

精力，在幕后做了大量的工作，但他把荣誉都给了他的同学。这是一个多么善于观察，乐于助人而且有领导才能的孩子啊!

孰优孰劣，已分高下。各位，如果您是大学招生官，您会录取A还是B呢?

二 大学录取材料里为什么必须包含推荐信?招生官希望从推荐信里得到什么信息?

自己对于自己的评价难免不够“客观”，推荐信的作用，在于招生官希望能够从第三方的角度，客观的了解申请者的情况。通常来说，招生官希望从推荐信里了解到的信息包括但不限于：

1 你在申请材料里讲述的是否都是事实

如果你的活动列表里完全没有任何参加公益活动的内容，你的推荐信里却提到你是一个热衷公益，十分有社会责任感的人，这就不免让招生官产生疑惑;如果你从来没有提到你在音乐方面有天赋，你的推荐信却告诉招生官你的钢琴比莫扎特弹的还好，这就是个笑话。

2 你的成就是否足以给别人留下深刻的印象

有些话自己说合适，有些话则是别人说合适。“谦逊”一直是中华民族的传统美德，我想很少有学生会在申请文书里让自己锋芒毕露。推荐信则提供了塑造你形象的大好机会。别人对你的褒奖往往更客观，更可信

3 为申请材料中的“疑点”提供解释的机会

张同学在GRE考试中取得了1500分的好成绩，可他在学校数学课的平均成绩只有80分，这不免会让招生官觉得张同学不过是在考试中运气好而已。可是如果他的数学老师在推荐信中告诉招生官，张同学选修的数学课都是大学里开设的最难的课程，而他又是整个学校给分最严的老师，在他的课上，学生的平均分只有60。那么情况则完全不一样了。

4 对申请文书的内容做补充

这对于高中申请本科的同学尤其适用。在common application中，有一个小文书是非常难于处理的，那就是“在你列出的活动中，哪一项对你最有意义，为什么?”这篇文书仅限150字。你会不会因为篇幅不够而感到苦恼?会不会因为没有写出你自己的全部想法而感到遗憾?这个时候，推荐信会是一个很好的补充 5 为招生官客观的评价你提供全面的背景信息

中国的国情是特殊的。你费尽九牛二虎之力，考入了省重点高中，遗憾的是，你在这批学生中只能排名中等。这个时候，如果你不能在推荐里说明你们的学校是如何优秀，大概只有全省1%的尖子学生才能进入此高中，因此你虽然排名中

等，但是你依然是最有竞争力的申请者，那么你就丧失了让招生官客观评价你的大好机会。
