推荐信写作要点 2001-05-08 08:26:46
在留学申请中,推荐信常常起着至关重要的作用,所以一定要慎重对待!它的写作要点有以下几点:
一、语气热情诚恳,介绍实事求是
二、信文篇幅以一页为宜,但也不能寥寥数语,敷衍了事。
三、精心组织正文内容
正文内容一般包括以下几个方面,应予精心组织:
1、为便于对方查阅、归档,正文部分应尽快提及被推荐者的全名,其所用字母、大小写、连写和分写等拼写法,应与被推荐人的申请信或简历上的拼写法完全相同。
2、开宗明义,表明态度,说明自己乐意推荐某人,自己同被推荐人之间的关系。例如:
I take great pleasure in recommending Ren Ren, one of my favorite students, for admission into your distinguished graduate program.
3、接下来可介绍与推荐人何时认识、熟悉程度、有何联系等内容。例:
I have known Mr. Lei for four years and have found him to be one of the most active and energetic members in our marketing Dept.
4、正文中的重点是对被推荐人的人品、能力、性格特点作介绍。尽可能做到言简意赅,点面结合。例如:
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.
5、正文的最后部分,一般以提出建议作为结束,即推荐人建议校方或用人单位对被推荐人的申请惠予考虑,录取或聘用被推荐人。有时,也可就对方接受自己的推荐表示谢意结束全文。例如:
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.
四、签名之后应注明推荐人的职衔或职称。如果使用的是普通信笺,而不是带有信头的公文信笺,不便于对方联系,最好在职衔或称呼之下再注上推荐人的通讯地址(包括单位名称、地址、电话、邮政编码等)。
例如:
Sincerely yours,
(signature)
Zhang San
Professor of Physics
Dean of Physics Department
