To whom this may concern:

When the student Mr. Wang Yaohua indicated to me his strong determination to pursue an undergraduate education at the most prestigious university-Yale University, I immediately decided to give him my full support. The reason why I am so willing to recommend this promising Chinese student on the point of completing his senior middle school education at our school is because he has demonstrated impressive aptitudes in his day-to-day academic and extracurricular performance and the rich potential of a talented young man behind his impressive aptitudes.

In order to write this letter of reference, I have checked carefully Mr. Wang's academic records. I am happy to discover that he has performed quite outstandingly in virtually every course, a fact which you will become aware when you examine the materials that he submits. Whether it is in his class or in the entire grade, he is always the most powerful competitor for being the No. 1 ranking student. Special mention should be made concerning his proficiency in English language. I consulted his English teach in detail and learned that ever since he entered our school he has excelled most of his classmates in reading comprehension, oral communication, listening and composition. He participated actively in classroom discussions by fluent English expressiveness. I believe that once he is admitted by your esteemed university, he will had little difficulty in adapting to the new linguistic environment and his intelligence will ensure that he will acquit himself satisfactorily in his future degree program.

Based on my direct observations and on the reports from my colleagues, I should describe Mr. Wang as a person of excellent conduct, optimistic character, sociable and friendly with his classmates and respectful of his teachers. He played an active role in extracurricular activities. He is the student leader in charge of the organizational work of the class and he has fulfilled his duties in this position conscientiously. As far as I know, he has also been involved in the volunteer work in local community, providing social services to local citizens. I once met him in a social event organized by our school and I was most impressed by his dedication to his responsibilities. I believe that he has inherited many of the ethical virtues in traditional Chinese morality and his outstanding personality, his sociability and his readiness to be exposed to new things and to meet new people will facilitate his associations and exchanges with students coming to study at Yale University from every part of the world.

Mr. Wang represents a new generation of Chinese students who wish to acquire international experience at a very young age. His pioneering spirit must be appreciated, a spirit which makes me confident in his ability to carry out his studies successfully. Therefore, I recommend him very strongly and it is expected that you can give serious consideration to his application.

Yours Sincerely
