Letter of Recommendation Dear Admissions Officers: Mr. XXX XXX is a student in Class 13 at the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University in 2008. I met him at a Science Activity in Beijing in 2005, the year he came back from Canada. And we have kept in touch since then. I can say that I have witnessed his growth in his 5 years in high school. I am very pleased to write this letter to recommend him as a strong candidate to the Undergraduate program in your department. XXX is well gifted in studying, hardworking, and has a relatively strong comprehension ability and adaptability. He went to Canada with his parents an the age of 8, and studied there for 5 years until he came back to China when he was 13. This has helped him a lot in learning English but caused him trouble in learning his native language, Chinese, when he was back. For example, he had great difficulty in reading and writing in Chinese at that time. I remember when he was writing his essays, he had to spend a lot more effort in finishing any sentence in Chinese, but never gave up. Besides, I learned that, even though he could hardly catch up with the teachers in class because of his not-so-good Chinese, he tried his best to grasp the knowledge by self-study and asking for help after class.
Many Chinese children do not feel suitable in learning back in China after living and studying abroad for several years. For example, they may not feel good at the native language and the different ways of "teaching" and "learning" inside and abroad after returning back, which may frustrate them in learning. However, through continuous hard work and his own strong will, XXX has not only significantly improved his Chinese language proficiency, but also learned mathematics, physics and chemistry and other subjects very well. He did this within only three years of his return, which has demonstrated his real smartness and great will in fighting against difficulties. All these led to his excellent grades in the High School Entrance Examination in 2008, and the admission to the Second High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, which is a first-class high school throughout China, even in the world. I paid close attention to XXX since he entered this high school. I have noticed that in addition to fully grasp the knowledge that the teacher talks about in class, he also participated actively in the professional classes and seminars to expand his knowledge and improve his ability in analyzing issues and addressing problems. He has maintained excellent academic grades and greatly broadened his horizon in those years. In addition, he is very friendly with others, and always ready to help others. XXX has also showed great potential in organizing activities and social communications during the years. In September 2009, he was elected the Student Union liaison minister for his outstanding performance in a series of competitions among all the candidates. And during his tenure, he has successfully organized many community activities such as an inter-school basketball match and debate competition, the community volunteer service, visits to science museums, etc.. In addition, as a live-in students, he contributes a lot to the communication between the dorm teacher and the live-in students, and has set as a good example in developing good living habits among the students. XXX is also very active in other school activities, such as charity events, donations to the disaster areas, theatrical performances in arts festivals and sports Games. For instance, he took part in the duet and chorus performance this year in the Arts Festival, which is our school's traditional large-scale activity, and won the awards. He also won a first-place and third-place prizes in both men's 100M and 300M races, respectively, and helped his team get the champion in the 100M relay in the Sport Games of the Schools in September, with his strong body and well and team work.
I have personally known XXX for 5 years, and he has impressed me as a young man with strong-minded, ambitious, diligent, practical and self-confident characteristics, which I think are consistent with the principles for your students. Since he has been in Canada for more than 5 years, I also believe he would be better to make himself at home in your country and live a good life at school.
I think all the good qualities and great potentials of him will make him a good student in your school with bright future. I strongly recommend XXX XXX for entrance into your school. |
