留学如何写好推荐信
在出国申请的诸多文件中，推荐信的分量仅次于成绩单和语言成绩。它起着从侧面介绍、证明申请人的作用，具有很强的客观性。为了简化申请流程，多数申请人都自己写好推荐信后请推荐人签字，因此，撰写推荐信也成为申请人的必修课程之一。
全面选择推荐人与被推荐者有着或曾有过密切工作关系的人或熟悉其能力水平的人士都是最佳人选。譬如在大学比较了解你的教授，在工作单位里的顶头上司或是你参与的其他社会组织，如各种学术和慈善团体的负责人。尽量避免请同一类型的人写推荐信，应该给人以全面的认识。三封推荐信应该用不同的`风格，至少用不同的语气和内容。推荐人名头并非越大越好不管是请什么级别的人来写，一定要体现该推荐人和申请者是如何相识的，是什么关系，并确实了解申请者的情况，这样才合乎情理和逻辑。可以找一个熟悉你的人写其中一封，因为他是最了解你的人，可信度比较高。如果认识国外大学的教授，请他们写推荐信更有效。不用做到面面俱到尽力表现出申请人独到的优势。一般中国学生的推荐信都是相似的：学习刻苦，善于钻研，乐于助人，是所教过的最好的学生等等。这样的推荐信无法让招生人员留下深刻印象。推荐点应着眼于申请者自身独有的一些闪光点。但推荐点切忌过多，一封推荐信中有一个主要的闪光点即可。不要整篇文章充满了赞美，却不举一件事例来证明，一个实例胜于长篇大论。可以适当写几个不重要但很中肯的小缺点，增加真实性。

留学推荐信范文
To whom it may concern:
xxxxxx is a senior in the department of logistics and maritime studies majoring in global supply chain management.
mr. xxxxx took my management science courses last year and quickly demonstrated his proficiency in learning and applying analytical methods. he exhibited a great thirst for learning and always sought alternative solutions to problems by deepening and expanding his knowledge, often going well beyond course requirements. his assignments, exams, personal inquiries and performance in class discussions demonstrated considerable prowess in dealing with quantitative issues. although i cannot say that he was the best student i have ever taught, i certainly appreciate his attitude and cannot help but applaud his effort and ability.
before he decided to go to graduate school, he discussed the issue with me. he indicated an interest in pursuing a career involving accounting and finance because he saw accounting as the basis of other business disciplines and recognized his own abilities and inclinations in this field. i believe that his solid verbal skills will also provide him with strong support.
during the past three years mr. xxxx’s academic performance has been quite impressive, and he has demonstrated the ability to master a variety of widely disparate subjects. he did not exhibit any weak subjects in the bachelor of business administration program, a comprehensive business program including subjects from various fields such as accounting, finance, quantitative business methods, marketing, and business law. last year he was awarded a departmental certificate of merit in recognition of his outstanding performance during one of his most intensive semesters. he was also placed on the faculty of business dean’s list during the xxxx-xxxx academic year.
as a program leader in his discipline, i believe mr. xxxxx is well-qualified to pursue further studies in accounting, as demonstrated by his well-balanced abilities in both quantitative and qualitative methods. i am convinced that he has the potential the complete a rigorous graduate program requiring broad horizons and diverse skills.
sincerely yours,
name: xxxx
