出国留学推荐信格式 推荐信是一种说明申请人的人品和能力的应用文体。出国留学推荐信是由出国留学申请人所在国内就读大学的学校或以前就读过的学校的教授，向申请学校写的推荐人学的信函。申请学校可以通过推荐信来了解申请人在学校成绩、学业成就、工作能力、在校期间表现以及申请人性格特征等方面的情况。 出国留学推荐信是出国留学申请材料之一，对申请人录取及奖学金的获得有重大意义。信函一律用英文书写。推荐信的格式与一般书信基本相同，如信头、发信日期、收信人姓名、称呼、信尾谦称、签名、推荐人姓名与身份等都是必需的。在内容上，出国留学推荐信应包括推荐人与被推荐人的关系、被推荐人在校表现、成果等，对申请人最突出的方面则应加以着重介绍。态度要适度赞扬，但又不可空洞。 推荐信的语言风格应该清晰流畅，言简意赅，并且每封推荐信的语言风格应该有所区别。推荐信可以和申请表一起寄出，但要记得在信封正面写上推荐人和对方学校的联系地址，以便核查。 〔文本结构及内容要点〕 称呼读信人应为申请学校的教授，用“亲爱的xx先生”即可。 推荐人与被推荐人的相识推荐信是留学目的地学校了解推荐者的重要依据，所以十分看重推荐信的真实可靠性。因此，推荐信要首先交代推荐人与被推荐人的关系，从而表明对后者的知情程度和推荐的权威性。如表明推荐人的身份及与被推荐人的关系（师生关系、土、下级领导关系等）；双方认识的时间和熟悉程度等。如果你是应届本科生毕业，常常要有两个任课的教授写推荐信―一个专业课老师，一个基础课老师，一个从专业角度推荐，另一个则从基础素质角度推荐。 被推荐人在校期间的表现对被推荐者的优点介绍及评价，这是推荐信的核心。主要包括被推荐者的天赋、品行及个性、学习精神、学习成绩、研究能力、工作经验、组织能力等。注意说辞应与其他申请材料如成绩单、获奖证书等相呼应。其中，各种能力要素及取得的成果往往是获取留学资格的关键，应该加以突出，如扼要陈述能够说明被推荐人的能力的事实，但切勿夸大其词，而几这些事实必须与所申请的职位或者所攻读的专业相关。 结论意见愿意推荐或不愿意推荐，无保留或有所保留的推荐，普通推荐或极力推荐，必须明确，当然极力推荐为最好，应建议申请学校对申请惠予考虑、录取或聘用。 请求应以委婉的语气提出，避免出现“应该”、“必须”等口气强硬的词。有时也可以总结全文或表示谢意结束。 署名应注明职称、职衔和通讯地址及联系方式。〔提示〕 1.申请人外语水平优异，应该写出具体分数，若勉强合格则可不谈。 2.推荐信要言简意赅，语气要热情诚恳，介绍申请人成绩要实事求是，切忌主观点评式的又缺乏事实根据的推荐评语，要有具体的事例说明。同时为了增加推荐信的真实性，写少量并不重要但很中肯的小缺点不失为一种聪明的策略。 3.推荐信的篇幅不宜过长，一般来说，500英文字以内比较适合，()即能排在一张 A4信纸，并上下留出写抬头和签名的充足空间。 4.被推荐者的签名。为便于对方查询，被推荐者的签名仅写“Mr Wan扩或”Miss Zhang“是不够的。用标准的汉语拼音或英文拼法都可以，但必须由被推荐者自己提供，且前后必须一致。 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.

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.” 如果推荐人是工作主管，首先一定要仔细陈述申请人的工作职责，并对申请者工作表现作一评估。如果可能的话尽量列举实例。 “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：可以提及申请人在班上（或公司里）的比较表现（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%. 接下来，推荐者可对申请人能否成功完成学业提出看法。举例： ”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：如果还有其它话想说，请另写一段。例如：英文能力、沟通技巧、领导才能、特殊学术或工作背景。譬如说，如果申请人欲申请的科系是企管系，推荐者可着力描写他们有关申请人商业的专门技术、领导才能，以及申请者所参加的商业活动，例如，有关商业方面的组织社团。又如，申请人申请护理研究所，推荐者可着力描写他们关怀的态度、处理实验室的技能，或是对病人的奉献。 （五）最后，以几句结尾作总结； ”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.“ 签名： Sincerely, Sincerely yours, Very truly yours, With best regards,
