Dear Sir:
It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Fu-ping Wang for his application to graduate studies in your school.
Mr. Wang has been my research assistant of the National Science Council’s project "The United States and the United Nations’ Financial Crisis: The Role of U.S. Congress" since September 1997. His major responsibilities include information collecting, analyzing and translating. He is an enthusiastic and progressive young man with extremely high potentiality. Mr. Wang is not only quick at learning and good at solving difficult problems, but also with a logical mind that enables him to effectively analyze difficulties. All the work handed to him was completed satisfactorily. Actually, he is so reliable that I assign him with heavy responsibilities. With his help, I have been able to spend more time in writing the research paper. I really consider myself very fortunate to have such a capable assistant.
I am certain his diligence, coupled with a good competence and pleasant personality, will assure him of academic achievements in his future academic pursuits. I strongly recommend his admission without any reservation.
Sincerely yours,
Chung Wei-kuo

Dear Colleagues:
MS. requested a letter of reference from me to support her application for graduate studies at your university. As her research adviser when she was a graduate student in my school of science Beijing University of Chemical Technology, I am pleased to comply with her request.
I have known Ms. Zhang since 20xx, when she was admitted as a Master of Science candidate into the school. As her research adviser, I directed her research and found her a promising youth radiating with intelligence and creativity. During her first year, she got a very good record in major courses and earned good scores major and general GPA 3.3. She particularly enjoyed challenging areas of studies such as Quantum Chemistry and Theory of Electrochemistry.
During the following two years, Ms. Zhang worked on a computational theory study of inorganic functional materials project for his degree thesis “Theoretical Study of Electronic Structures of Several Representative Metal Element in the Hydrotalcite Slabs”. To make the theory model meet the actual materials, she faced down many practical problems, such as building reasonable module of inorganic materials, and calculation techniques. Working hard and independently, she cracked the problems one by one, and came up with a thesis that was characterized by academic excellence. During her M.S. period, she had three papers published in international journals.
Judging by her outstanding performance while she studied with me, I am convinced that Ms. Zhang has acquired the knowledge and intellectual sophistication on the basis of which she can undertake world-class training. I therefore lend her my enthusiastic support and would appreciate your favorable consideration of her application.

xx学校的朋友
您好!我是导师，xx同学是我最欣赏的学生之一。她最吸引我的是她的学习天赋与上进心，她是我见过的最聪明的学生，学习成绩卓著，人文科学与自然科学同样精通。更为难得的是她从不妄自尊大、自以为是，依旧刻苦地对待每一项学习任务，力争成为整个团队中的最佳。体现了她对自己和爱她的人负责的态度。
中国有句俗话：“梅花香自苦寒来”，经过她持之以恒地付出，她的语言表达能力、活动的组织能力、与人的沟通能力、独立研究能力都非常突出，连续获得学校三好学生。特别是对英语，她具有天生的天赋与逐渐培养起的热情，据我所知，她的雅思成绩非常高，并获得许多中学生英语竞赛的奖项。能在英语国家学习，是她很久以前的梦想，为此她早已经作好了准备。我总是情不自禁的感慨：她说的英语与我说的汉语一样棒!
姜不光是我的学生，还是我的朋友。因为她的个性与理想深深的吸引了我。她总是无私地为团队奉献自己的聪明才智，主动为大家服务，任劳任怨，不计较个人得失，成为我们眼中的英雄。她又非常幽默乐观，用她微笑传递给大家一天的好心情。她又是一名体育健将，长跑、游泳、野外探险是她生活的一部分，从中她的意志得到了锻炼。我们交往非常愉快，她特别乐于与我一起分享她成长中的喜怒哀乐。还常常与我谈论电影艺术和旅游，美国的文化与风景深深地吸引了她，那里有她一个梦想。
真舍不得她离开祖国，但我尊重她的选择，相信她会学有所成，正如我相信我们的友谊天长地久一样。谢谢。
此致
敬礼!

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to enthusiastically recommend Pei Yi for admission to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of California Berkeley. Pei Yi not only has academic background and technical qualifications for admission to your program, but also has demonstrated the independence, perseverance, and other personal characters necessary to succeed in Sciences.
I have worked with Pei Yi for one and a half years since he began the Principal Fund Project in 20xx. I think he has developed a mature character as a young academic research worker. Pei Yi is a very diligent student in our lab. He is almost the last one leaving the lab every day. To acquaint himself with the work more quickly, he chose my graduate course: Electron Physics. Though he has an excellent scholastic aptitude, I was afraid that
the course was a little difficult for an undergraduate student. As things went by, I found my worry was quite unnecessary. He studied relevant courses such as quantum mechanics by himself and got the highest score for my course. An intelligent young man with hard-working spirit can always live a fruitful and effective life.
I’m deeply impressed by his ability to work independently. I was very busy last year for official work, and have little time to guide him. However every time I see him, he was working or reading in the lab. He told me that he learned by himself through reading the academic journal and learned from other groups in our laboratory. In addition, he has a strong desire for good quality of academic work. He attended every seminar and had a successful corporation with researchers from other groups.
A flexible and adaptable people can do any work assigned to him, so does Mr. Pei. During the period of his principal fund research, he established the suitable model for field emission, and finished the simulation of space charge effect. He also made prominent progress on calculation of field-enhancement factor and wrote two papers. One
paper is accepted by “Series of The First Principal Fund Papers” and another paper is to be submitted to an international journal. This is also a demonstration of his Science and English ability.
It is my belief that Pei Yi's combination of the technical skills with a high level of moral standards has been critical to his personal and professional development and he will succeed in any task due to these abilities and characters. If you require any further information about the student, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely Yours
