Dear
Sir or Madam,
As the
class advisor and teacher in the course of Chinese to Mr.
Wang Yaohua, I have a better understanding of him with our
constant contact and communication. Upon learning that Mr.
Wang has made up his mind to pursue advanced studies abroad
and to comply with his earnest request, I consider it my
duty and a great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation
in support of his application for admission to such a prestigious
university as Yale. I firmly believe that Wang will make
himself a worthy candidate with his excellent scholastic
performance, outstanding capabilities and resourceful potentials.
Wang
possesses a sincere and distinctive character and enjoys
higher popularity among his classmates. After open election,
I appointed him as committee member in the Youth League
Organization of his class, mainly in charge of the organizational
and operational work of class activities. Conscientious
and hard-working, Mr. Wang cooperated well with other committee
members and achieved fruitful results, which displayed his
keen sense of teamwork and great leadership. In my course
of Chinese, he compiled an outstanding grade with a general
GPA of 3.5, which was hard to come by because this was a
joint examination taken by the four elite high schools in
the whole nation including ours. Thus this grade was really
satisfactory due to the unusual difficulty in the examination
as compared with those ordinary tests.
According
to my observation of Mr. Wang's daily life and study, I
feel pleased to see Wang has a more profound understanding
of the meaning of life and the society than his peers. He
does not, like most students, consider the College Entrance
Examination as the sole objective of leaning, even though
it is probably the most important examination for Chinese
high school students under the present educational system
in China. Yet Wang still holds on to his belief that he
should make himself a qualified student with all-round development,
and aims at cultivating himself to be a useful person with
special contributions to the society. All his ideas were
well presented in class activities, with novel perspective
and comments on the appreciation of literary works and discussion
of some social problems. Wang never felt afraid that his
own viewpoints might have great differences with the mainstream
opinion. And he could always propose his own way of thinking
and reasoning process in a meticulous manner. This innovative
spirit is really a commendable and praiseworthy quality
in a high school student like Wang.
Our
school is one of the first-rate high schools in China and
has a fine fundamental education, which enables her to annually
send dozens of excellent Chinese students to the most celebrated
universities in the United States. It is my firm conviction
that with his fine learning aptitude and a solid groundwork,
Mr. Wang will turn out to be an outstanding match for his
American counterparts whether he be evaluated from the depth
or width of knowledge acquisition. Moreover, the fine academic
atmosphere and favorable environment for individual development
offered by the College of Liberal Arts in your prestigious
University will be extremely conducive to the growth and
overall development of Mr. Wang Yaohua. His latent potentials
will also be able to gain further exploration, and Wang
can eventually find the right direction of his future development
that best suits him.
Based
on the above-mentioned fine qualities demonstrated by Wang
in his high school studies at China, I recommend him most
enthusiastically, and I believe you will share my evaluation
of Mr. Wang and consider his application favorably.
Yours
cordially,
