出國留學(xué)信寫法和

2015出國留學(xué)推薦信寫法和范文

　　幾乎所有的大學(xué)都會要求美國留學(xué)申請人提出推薦信(Recommendation Letter),評審委員借著推薦者的文字描述,可以了解申請人的背景狀況。它可說明各種成績單數(shù)字以外的其它意義,補充過于計量化、公式化審核的一種評估方式。

　　美國留學(xué)申請研究所一般要求三封推薦信推薦人的身份可以是曾經(jīng)教你的教授,或是現(xiàn)(曾)職工作單位主管,自已視需要組合。例如,如果你畢業(yè)十年,你的推薦人可應(yīng)有二封工作主管為宜,而畢業(yè)一兩年頂多一封即足夠。

　　推薦人的職務(wù),并不一定愈高愈有利,相反地,認(rèn)識你愈久而職稱不高,內(nèi)容又適當(dāng)?shù)乇磉_(dá)你的個性(Personality),才是上乘的推薦。以下,我們將提供你推薦信需注意的要點,幫助你著手起稿推薦信：

　　(一)不要拖時間,盡快起草：推薦信需要時間寫,何況又得配合老師的時間。所以盡快起草你的推薦信,以便使你的推薦者有充裕的時間,為你的推薦信效力。

　　(二)提供充份的信息給推薦者：如果你要推薦者能掌握你的優(yōu)點,你得提供充份的信息。自然,要盡量具體避免空洞地陳述。同時,你也該提供你申請學(xué)校截止日期給推薦者參考,以免推薦者耽誤了你的申請。

　　(三)各推薦信的打字書信字體,宜選不同的型式,以示不同的推薦者。屬需要圈選的表格者,可以直接以手稿填入。

　　(四)在邏輯推理下,推薦者不可能知道或了解你的特質(zhì),請勿提及。譬如說,學(xué)生課外活動的表現(xiàn)就不適于平常教授正式科目的教授提及,除非教授也參與其中。又如其它課堂的表現(xiàn),除非其它教授曾經(jīng)提及過,否則不適合此科教授評論學(xué)生在其它科目的表現(xiàn)。再如,學(xué)生如何在圖書館查數(shù)據(jù)、寫報告花費的時間,一般老師是不可能知之甚詳,除非實在太特殊而略有耳聞,故也不適合在推薦信中提及。

　　(五)推薦信的內(nèi)容盡量簡短有力：不要虛無空洞的形容詞,例如他任職于某公司時,勤勞、負(fù)責(zé)、認(rèn)真、為人謙虛、誠懇等語句,不宜多引用,最好講出具體事實,才不流于形式,尤其不要抄襲市面的書信范例,以免流于陳腔濫調(diào),落入俗套。

　　(六)如果可能的話,推薦者最好與你修的科目或?qū)W校相關(guān)。譬如說：如果你將來計劃主修英文,最好推薦人之一是英文老師。又如,如果你申請常春藤名校(IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL),推薦者若也是常春藤名校出身,則其推薦信將更有力。

　　(七)適當(dāng)提及自己的“缺點”。一封推薦信如果闡述的完全是被推薦的同學(xué)的優(yōu)點，不免讓人覺得有粉飾之嫌，如果能恰當(dāng)?shù)丶尤胍恍?ldquo;缺點”，不僅能令推薦信真實，還會通過“似貶實褒”，反而突出了被推薦人的特殊氣質(zhì)。例如計算機專業(yè)、數(shù)學(xué)專業(yè)乃至金融專業(yè)的同學(xué)，在推薦信中可以考慮加入這樣的詞句：“該生有時因為過分專注于研究工作而難以平衡生活各方面的關(guān)系，這不失為一種美中不足”。這句話似乎是在談“缺點”，但很明顯這樣的“缺點”其實正是很多專業(yè)最渴望的“缺點”——廢寢忘食的工作態(tài)度，從而使得“缺點”也為申請?zhí)峁┝司薮髱椭��?/p>

　　推薦信包含的主要題材

　　(一)與申請者的關(guān)系：表達(dá)清楚何種方式認(rèn)識。譬如說是老師、指導(dǎo)教授,老板等。說明交往多久,如果是教授學(xué)生關(guān)系,對教授的科目做一個簡短的說明,如果推薦信者是你的老板(主管),請詳細(xì)說明你的工作職責(zé)。

　　(二)推薦者對申請人人格個性特征的印象：譬如學(xué)習(xí)精神、工作態(tài)度、與同事(同學(xué))相處的情形、組織領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力、學(xué)術(shù)專長、研究能力、有無工作經(jīng)驗與否,并加注評語。

　　(三)推薦者對你能否順利完成學(xué)位的看法：譬如說,描述你對特別分配職務(wù)上的表現(xiàn),以表現(xiàn)你的應(yīng)變能力。又如,申請者是否有其它潛力未發(fā)揮?　如果申請者的成績未盡理想,評述你對申請者的看法。解釋申請者雖然形式上的成績未盡理想,卻有極深厚的潛力尚未發(fā)揮。如果申請者轉(zhuǎn)系,也可以強調(diào)申請者有強烈的學(xué)習(xí)動機,根據(jù)推薦者的觀察,相信以申請者的表現(xiàn),一定可以成功完成學(xué)業(yè)。

　　(四)推薦者對申請人人格個性特征的印象：譬如學(xué)習(xí)精神、工作態(tài)度、與同事(同學(xué))相處的情形、組織領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力、學(xué)術(shù)專長、研究能力、有無工作經(jīng)驗與否,并加注評語。

　　(五)重述推薦者對申請人的支持及能力的確認(rèn),以再次肯定對申請人的支持與推薦。

　　美國留學(xué)申請推薦信的模式

　　推薦信的格式有些模式可循,以下將針對各段提供模式作參考：

　　(一)抬頭可用的格式有：

　　Dear Sir/Madam;

　　To Whom It May Concern:

　　(二)第一段：引文句子可以引用如：

　　“It is a pleasure to recommend to you (name), a former student of mine at (name of university).”

　　“I an very happy to have this opportunity to recommend (name), who is presently applying for admission to your graduate (or undergraduate) program in (name of program).”

　　“In my capacity as professor at xxxx University, I have known xxx for three years, as both his/her advisor and professor.”

　　(三)第二段：這段可以提供最實質(zhì)的內(nèi)容。譬如,如果推薦者是教授, 解釋學(xué)生在他門下所修的課程。

　　“(name) took two of my courses during the 1984-85 academic year, as follows; “xxxxx” and “xxxxx”.”

　　“(Name) was enrolled in three of classes from September 1984 to June 1986 “xxx” and “xxx”.”

　　接下來,教授寫一些有關(guān)申請人在課堂上的表現(xiàn),如完成的研究計劃、實驗室研究、研究報告、考試的成績、課堂態(tài)度、討論課的參與等,舉出實例。

　　“In my class (es), (name) did excellent work. She always listened attentively, participated activitely in class, and handed in very good written assignment.

　　“In particular, his/her research paper on (topic) was of exceptionally high quality, and showed that s/he fully understands and has a strong background in his/her field.”

　　如果推薦人是工作主管,首先一定要仔細(xì)陳述申請人的工作職責(zé),并對申請者工作表現(xiàn)作一評估。如果可能的話盡量列舉實例。

　　“When (name) held the position of (job title) in this company she was one s/he was one of my best employees. His/her job responsibilities included (describe them), and s/he carried out his/her duties with exceptional skill and professionalism.”

　　“S/he not only did his/her own work, but also helped other employees, and made many valuable contributions to the efficient running to our firm.”

　　第二段最后一段：可以提及申請人在班上(或公司里)的比較表現(xiàn)(譬如排名)：

　　“I was rate (name)'s academic ability as in the top 10% of his/her class.”

　　“Compared against other students that I have taught, I would say that (name) ranks in the upper 10%.

　　接下來,推薦者可對申請人能否成功完成學(xué)業(yè)提出看法。舉例：

　　“Based on his/her previous performance, I am certain that (name) would be a very successful student at your university.”

　　“I believe that (name) possesses all the qualities necessary to make an excellent graduate student in his/her chosen field, and am sure that s/he will make a fine addition to your campus.”

　　(四)第三段：如果還有其它話想說,請另寫一段.例如：英文能力、溝通技巧、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能、特殊學(xué)術(shù)或工作背景。譬如說,如果申請人欲申請的科系是企管系,推薦者可著力描寫他們有關(guān)申請人商業(yè)的專門技術(shù)、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能,以及申請者所參加的商業(yè)活動,例如,有關(guān)商業(yè)方面的組織社團。又如,申請人申請護理研究所,推薦者可著力描寫他們關(guān)懷的態(tài)度、處理實驗室的技能,或是對病人的奉獻(xiàn)。

　　(五)最后,以幾句結(jié)尾作總結(jié);

　　“Therefore, I am happy to highly and without reservation recommend (name) for admission to your graduate program. Your kind/serious consideration of his/her application would be most appreciated.”

　　“I am thus pleased to give my full support and recommendation to (name)'s application for admission to your school. If any further information is required, please feel free to contact me.”

　　范文

　　Dear Sir/Madam:

　　I am writing this letter of recommendation for Mr.Caleb,my former student. I have known Mr. Caleb for more than 6 years since his freshman year at "University of Minnesota". At that time, he took the course-- "Mathematical Analysis," which I taught mainly for junior students majoring in Mathematics. To my surprise, I found he was among the few students in his class who could keep up with the pace of my lectures. Moreover, he often posed thought-provoking questions during the course. Thus it was natural that I liked discussing with this young man and became familiar with him. The more I knew him, the more I found he was talented at mathematics. As you can see, he got excellent scores on the course. In fact, he ranked No. 1 on this 270 hours course in the talented student class which has 34 intelligent others.

　　With his outstanding talent and solid mathematical background, he also did quite well in most other courses during his undergraduate study. By the way, you may wonder why his undergraduate scores look not so good compared to other Chinese applicants. It is easy to explain, because he belonged to the talented student class, which were required to endure harder test papers and stricter grading than most other college students did at least at "University of Minnesota".

　　He even served as Prof. Linda s Research Assistant for one year. No one could deny his commitment to his job. As a matter of fact, Prof. Linda s electronic lab happened to be neighboring my office and I could always see him working in the lab, either repairing the instruments or helping Prof. Linda collect lab reports. Maybe one more example will demonstrate his commitment more clearly. Once he suggested compiling a FORTRAN program to solve a complicated circuit problem in his class. In order to do that, he had to do a lot of computer work. However, because there were few computers available in our computer lab, he had to wake up at 5 a.m. in winter (please note: "Twin city" is a downtown near the north border of China, so it is pretty cold in winter and the heating system is not working very well.) to ensure the 1st position of the long waiting line for his classmates and himself! At last he and his classmates finished the program successfully with his great efforts.

　　As to his personality, I would like to say Mr. Caleb is a warm-hearted, honest and upright student. He was always ready to help others. During my lectures, many students got confused at some points and I could always see Mr. Caleb help them explain during breaks. In the meanwhile, I must admit that Mr. Caleb was a bit impatient sometimes.

　　Finally, I would like to conclude my recommendation as follows: frankly, Mr. Caleb is not a genius, but I promise his great intelligence, commitment to work and his kind nature will impress you deeply. Thus I recommend him without reservation for his admission and financial aid to your program. Please feel free to contact me if needed.

　　Sincerely Yours,

　　XXX
