去芬兰留学,大家在进行推荐信的准备的时候,要特别注意的是自己的能力,因为要保证言之有物。今天就有出国留学网为大家带来芬兰留学推荐信写作要求及范文分享。
写作要求
我们要明白推荐信要写什么?
推荐信可不是写作文,不需要华丽的辞藻和文学性的语言,在推荐信中,要简洁扼要的突出个人的综合水平,一般从下面五个方面着手:
1.过去学习经验或者工作经验
2.推荐人对申请人学习兴趣以及能力的评估
3.申请人在学校里取得的成就
4.推荐人对申请人学习成绩的评估,以及申请人的独特之处
5.大学认可的申请人身上所具备的品质。
他们最注重的申请者身上的品质是:
1、对你选择专业的热情
2、担任任何职位的责任
3、良好的英语书面表达
4、合理水平的数学技能
5、深入研究的积极态度
6、独立思考和工作的能力
7、艰难的开始和背后的故事
了解推荐信的写作大纲后,我们就从推荐性的三个模式:Opening,body,Clothing,也就是开头,文章主体,结尾三个方面来说一篇优秀推荐信怎么写。
技巧介绍
在国内愿意亲自给别人写推荐信的人很少,一般是些德高望重的老教授或者从国外留学归来的年轻老师。所以大部分中国申请者都是自己以推荐人的口气用英文把推荐信写好,然后再请推荐人签字。
在这种情况下,最好先用汉语打个草稿让推荐人看过以后,如果推荐人同意再翻译成英文形式。如果是这种情况,那么确定了推荐人之后,在写推荐信前应该先仔细斟酌一下应该着重表现哪些方面。
推荐信中有一个主要的闪光点是非常重要的。否则要么流于空泛,要么就是没有区别度,不能给人留下深刻印象。
如果推荐人级别较高,写的推荐信一般不能太具体,因为在社会地位较高的人工作上比较繁忙,如果写的过于具体,反而会使推荐信的可信度大打折扣。
不过如果推荐人跟申请人关系比较熟悉,就可以写的相对具体一点,并且可以用一些比较具体的事例作为他推荐你的理由。
一封推荐信如果仅仅有赞美之词,没有事例作为佐证的话,就会显得较为空洞也不能增加录取委员会对你的任何了解。同时为了增加推荐信的真实性,也可以少写一些并不是很重要但是很中肯的小缺点,其实从另一方面来看,这样不失为一种聪明的策略。
英文范文
To Whom It May Concern:
As Principal of George Mason High School I am delighted to recommend to you a stellar member of our teaching staff, Mr. Samuel Cohen, and to write this letter on his behalf. Sam has taught American History at the school for three years. He is one of our most popular and effective instructors and has already won several teaching awards.
He came to us directly upon completion of his bachelor’s degree, but immediately settled in as if an old pro. Sam is a master of all of the ingredients of successful teaching, especially the ability to inspire.
This gentleman is highly professional in both dress and demeanor. To my knowledge Sam has never come to work without both a suit and tie, more times than not a bow tie. The majority of others at the school, both teachers and students, dress differently and lean to more informality. Never once, however, has Sam’s manner of dress elicited the slightest comment. Why? It is simply because Sam’s attire seems entirely natural given his dignified comportment.
That comportment in turn is driven by Sam’s love and respect for American History. Sam views himself as the messenger for something serious and important, and this is reflected in the way he teaches and in the way his students respond.
Reaction to Sam’s classes has been overwhelmingly positive. So much so that more than once it has been reported to me that study hall students have been spotted lingering outside the door to Sam’s classroom listening to his lessons.
Sam’s impact has even been felt outside the school with the parents themselves. His section on the importance of voting has inspired students to cajole their parents to register to vote. Several have mentioned this to me at parent-teacher meetings. One even called the school to have me pass on their thanks to Mr. Cohen.
The only thing that we in the school administration have ever worried about in regard to Sam is the prospect of funding his bottled water. Sam is such a passionate and prolific speaker that he needs a steady supply to maintain his voice. So far we have gotten a pass on this, as students have bought it for him, including what must have been a year’s supply on his last birthday.
It will be a sad day when we announce that Sam will be pursuing his graduate degree on a fulltime basis. We can only hope that he keeps his promise and returns to us as soon as the ink is dry on his new diploma.
Sincerely,
Harold W. Brown
Principal
George Mason High School
