Dear sir or madam,
In capacity as Professor of Mathematics at Fudan University I'm writing to recommend Mr. Wang Gesintosyour PhD program in Computer Science. I have known Mr. Wang since his sophomore year of college and have acted as his thesis advisor and mentor. In my experience he is a gifted and diligent student and an admirably hard worker.
Wang is an impressive student because he has been forced to overcome the significant challenge of a serious illness during his freshman year. When I first met Wang in my Discrete Math class he did not appear to be anything special to me. While his exam scores were good they were not as high as I would now expect of him. What I didn't know then was that due to his illness Wang was attempting to take all of the difficult early mathematics courses at one time including Discrete Mathematics Advanced Mathematics Linear Algebra and Possibilities. While most students found preparing for just one set of these exams difficult Wang was overwhelmed by four of them. But in the end he achieved an impressive score on the final exam which made me conscious of his unusual determination he demonstrates when confronting difficult challenges.
Mr. Wang and I have often talked about a variety of mathematics and computer science concepts and problems. During these discussions I always found him to be delightfully intelligent. Not only does he quickly understand the concepts and problems presented to him he is able to analyze these problems and present solutions. But perhaps most important is that Wang's thinking is intensely rigorous. When looking at any question he carefully scrutinizes it and if he finds any uncertain issues he clears them up immediately. I believe this kind of thought is essential to become an excellent computer programmer.
Serving as his thesis advisor I had a first-hand opportunity to observe the way in which Wang's mind works. In his senor thesis Mr. Wang mainly discussed two challenging questions in regards to″ANN″. In our books in China knowledge of ANN and its uses are very rare. Few people in China have studied this topic and consequently the materials that are available on ANN are limited. Working on this difficult project not only did Mr. Wang rise to the challenge but he went above and beyond the call of duty to analyze his secondary sources and test them for accuracy in practice. In this way he found mistakes in the book that we use. His diligence and hard work made me extremely proud of him.
Mr. Wang is an intelligent motivated and industrious individual. Teaching and advising him has been a delightful pleasure. I know that if given the chance to study abroad in America he will arm himself to become a great programmer he dreams of being. He has the intelligence and background to achieve these goals – now all he needs is the opportunity. I ask that you look upon his application favorably and grant him a chance to study in your university.
Yours Sincerely

Dear SirMadam:
I gladly recommend my student Mr. Yi to you for his application to your graduate school program.
Mr. Yi enrolled in my courses of “Digital Control System”“Optimization Theory” during his senior year. In the former, he got a good score of 86/100ranked within top 5% of the class. In the latter which was opened for graduate students, he was one of the only three undergraduates who took this course. Throught the period of instruction, I found him an inquistiveattentive person. He always concentrated on my lecturesabsorb knowledge profoundly. Although some of the assignments were somewhat difficult to the average students , he could solved them completelycorrectly owing to his logicalanalytical thinkingthe clear conception to the theory.He also impressed me in the final project developing a program to resolve the free variable optimal problem. He thought deeplydid it skillfully,so the program could work very well even for the special cases (like cycling…) but still economicallyeasy to read. So I gave him the good scorewas better than many graduate students.
Besides, He also took a cluster of courses in ControlSystems Theory in his juniorsenior yearsalways got good scores.Upon my observation, Mr. Yi has been fully prepared to undertake a Master in your institute in the controlsystem fields. I am confident that with the ingenious learning abilitydiligent attitude that he has shown in the courses, he will be able to perform outstandingly even in a highly vigorous program. I have no hesitation in recommending himhope that you will consider his application favorably.
Yours Sincerely

拓展：加拿大留学本科申请推荐信常见误区
误区一：夸夸其谈，严重缺乏实际内容
也许是习惯了国内中学老师的期末评语，很多推荐信虽然占了很大的篇幅，但实际上只是一堆缺乏逻辑的形容词的堆积，让人读完以后对申请者无法留下任何深刻的印象。请记住，列举一个实例远比堆砌满篇的华丽辞藻更有用。
误区二：言过其实，过分夸张申请者能力
一个本科申请者最重要的不是过去的成绩而是将来的潜质，而作为一个高中毕业生大多数也不具备超强的学业成绩。
误区三：推荐信内容与推荐人身份不符
一个纯粹的高中数学老师是永远不可能知道你以秘密的笔名发表在杂志上的散文的，或者你的学校老师也并不会详细地知道你在课余学习钢琴的`细节。
误区四：推荐信内容重复、多余、累赘
几封推荐信或者推荐信与其他材料之间没有区分好层次，造成很多信息被重复提及而有的学校关心的信息却被忽略了。
加拿大留学本科申请推荐信注意事项
1、请勿手写，以免被学校视作推荐申请者的态度有问题，不够重视，影响推荐效果。
2、尽量使用正式信签纸，即印有推荐者工作单位抬头的信纸，信的最后要签名，信封的封口处要签名。
3、内容长短要控制好，基本上500字以内比较合适，即使你对推荐该申请者有极大的热情，也要注意措辞不要把信写的过长，这样也会对推荐效果有所影响。
