每个申请留学季,招生办公室都会收到上千到上万份的申请,其中推荐信(Recommendation Letter)是大部分学校的招生官十分看重的申请材料之一,所以一封好的推荐信对于学生来说尤为重要。
一篇优秀的推荐信一定要包含学生的学术能力和个人能力。学生的学术能力不单单体现在学生的成绩和排名上,也可以写对细节的关注,创新能力,研究能力等等,并且要用一两句话的事例来佐证你的观点。学生的个人能力,比如领导能力,沟通能力和团队合作能力,就更加需要通过具体的实例来体现。通过老师参与或学生自己提供的课外活动和竞赛活动中的表现来佐证个人能力,这样才能使你的推荐信有足够的可信度和说服力。以下我们留学生作业网就准备了四篇优秀的推荐信给打算去海外留学的留学生提供参考,希望大家能有所获。当然您也可以联系我们网站客服提供推荐信的写作服务,我们在这个领已经整整做了20年,对推荐信的写作有丰富的经验。

To Whom It May Concern:
It is with much enthusiasm that I recommend Joe Bloom for inclusion in the College Scholars Program at the University of Tennessee.(开头)
I was Joe’s instructor for multiple English classes during his four years at Morristown-Hamblen High School, including AP English his junior year. In our classes, Joe displayed a level of creativity, wit, and analytical thought that is quite rare among high school students.(交代推荐人身份,与被推荐人如何认识以及时长,被推荐人的个人特点。)
His writing and research skills are truly phenomenal – for his major essay project in AP English, he researched and wrote a remarkable study of visual imagery in the works of Edgar Allan Poe.(学术能力)
Joe’s wide-ranging intellect is such that he would be bored by most freshman- and sophomore-level Liberal Arts courses. He is ready to assume and excel in upper-division classwork, and possesses the self-motivation to successfully create and execute an independent course of honors study.(学术能力)
Joe’s academic strengths are complemented by his demonstrated leadership skills – he was our band’s drum major for two years and served as Vice President of the Student Council and Editor of our high school yearbook. He is also very active in his church and in the Sierra Student Coalition.(个人能力)
Please let me know if I can provide any more information to strengthen Joe’s candidacy for the College Scholars Program.
He has a very special spark, and I trust he will go far in making our world a better place. (总结/补充)
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Lee,
I highly recommend Emily Smith as a candidate for graduate school. I have worked with Emily in my capacity as Education Department Chair at Salitus College. (交代推荐人身份,与被推荐人如何认识。)
While a student at Salitus, Emily maintained a 3.98 GPA while taking a full load of honors classes and seminars. She excelled as the top student within the senior-level Teaching Methods course I teach; her other instructors in our department speak highly of her performance in their classes, as well.(学术能力)
In additional to her classwork, Emily was also employed in various positions including teaching a museum program to fourth-grade classes in the Saratoga Springs School District, teaching both adults and children to ride horses, and managing horse show participation for a local riding stable.(工作/实习经历)
She accomplished all these tasks with great initiative and with a very positive attitude. Emily has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages, especially the "at-risk" children she worked with at Carroll Hill School and Prospect Child and Family Center. Emily has a special talent working with the children who need more guidance and support than those typically found in a traditional classroom setting.(个人能力)
Her ability to connect with her students and her talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both truly superior. She has excellent written and verbal communication skills, is extremely organized, reliable, and computer literate. (个人能力)
Emily would be a tremendous asset to your program and I recommend her to you without reservation. If you have any further questions with regard to her background or qualifications, please do not hesitate to contact me. (总结/补充)
Sincerely,
Jane Doe

Dear Admissions Committee,
It is my great pleasure to recommend Jonathan Baker for admission to the University of Connecticut’s Mechanical Engineering Department. I have known Jon for 3 years and was delighted to serve as both his AP Physics teacher and Robotics Club adviser at Greenwich High School. During that time, I watched Jon grow into an outstanding individual who excels in both his academic and personal pursuits. (交代推荐人身份,与被推荐人如何认识及时长。)
As Jon’s teacher and adviser, I witnessed his extraordinary ability to quickly understand advanced physics concepts and then adeptly apply them to real-world situations first hand. His senior year robotics project was particularly impressive: He designed, built, and programmed a robot that could climb any surface, no matter how smooth.(学术能力)
Jon’s academic accomplishments are rivaled only by his personal strengths. His compassion and charisma are beyond his years and he is well loved by his peers as well as all those who have had the pleasure of teaching him. Whenever any of his fellow students are having a difficult time or feeling down, he never fails to step in with an encouraging word and a smile.(个人能力)
I highly recommend you accept Jon into your Mechanical Engineering program. I am confident he will make an excellent addition to your university’s community. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding his character or past academic work.(总结/补充)
Sincerely,
Your Signature

Dear Rhodes Scholarship Selection Committee,
It is my pleasure and honor to recommend Thomas Schriver for the Rhodes Scholarship. I have known Thomas for 2 years and was delighted to serve as his professor in my History course on Taiwan Politics and Cross-Strait Relations as well as his graduation thesis adviser at the University of Minnesota. After reading through the criteria of the Rhode Scholarship, I strongly believe that you would struggle to find a student more deserving and more in need of it than Thomas. (交代推荐人身份,与被推荐人如何认识及时长。)
The Rhodes Trust looks for students who possess exceptional scholastic abilities as well as the drive to use those abilities to their full potential. Since I have known him, Thomas has demonstrated his superior intellect and thirst to understand the culture and consciousness of his fellow man on multiple occasions. In particular, his graduation thesis—discussing the complexities of Taiwan’s history and how it has influenced the development of modern Taiwanese identity—was culturally sensitive and contained remarkable analysis that was eye-opening even for an experienced professor in the field such as myself. (学术能力)
On a personal level, Thomas is a young man of strong character who fully embodies all the traits you look for in potential candidates. Specifically, I was astounded by his kindness, selflessness, and devotion to helping the less fortunate in any way he can. Every summer vacation, instead of using his free time for himself, he travels to Indonesia to do volunteer work teaching English to children living in rural villages.(个人能力)
I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Thomas for the Rhodes Scholarship. I have no doubt he will uphold the standards of a Rhodes Scholar and become a shining member of your community. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding his character, past academic work, or any other qualifications related to the scholarship. (总结/补充)
Sincerely,
Your Signature
