To Whom It May Concern:
I am very pleased to recommend Martha Holden for admission to your university program. As her guidance counselor for three years I have watched this young woman develop both academically and personally into a mature individual ready in every way for her college years.
Martha is bright, energetic, compassionate and genuinely well rounded. Her grades have been consistently above average in all of her courses, and she has actively participated in a diverse assortment of extracurricular activities ranging from track and field and chorus to the school yearbook and our drama club.
Martha has also spent considerable time outside the school involved in the community. This has included work with Meals on Wheels and volunteering 10 hours a week at one of our area's shelters for battered and abused women.
They think so much of her at the shelter they have offered her a paid internship for next summer. Previously, this internship had never been awarded to anyone before the end of their college sophomore year. Despite all the preparations that will be required for going off to college next fall, Martha told me she is absolutely thrilled about this opportunity and feels it will enhance her university studies.
留學(xué)文書(shū)寫(xiě)作指導(dǎo)
寫(xiě)好英國(guó)留學(xué)文書(shū)第一招：正確使用英文好的申請(qǐng)文書(shū)必須使用正確的英文。錄取委員會(huì)的教授只能從書(shū)面材料來(lái)對(duì)你的學(xué)識(shí)、人品和語(yǔ)言能力進(jìn)行判斷，而你也只能以書(shū)面的形式來(lái)表現(xiàn)和證明你自己。你和他們之間唯一的媒介是文字。你的雅思成績(jī)也許很高，但試想你的Personal Statement寫(xiě)得一塌糊涂，洋教授們會(huì)怎么想?畢竟這種文件是在沒(méi)有嚴(yán)格時(shí)間限制的情況下寫(xiě)的，如果質(zhì)量差，人家對(duì)你英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言能力的印象就會(huì)打折扣，認(rèn)為你是一個(gè)高分低能的人，一定要把自己的形象表現(xiàn)得鮮明、具體和個(gè)性化，給自己一個(gè)獨(dú)特的包裝。
寫(xiě)好英國(guó)留學(xué)文書(shū)第二招：全面展示自己可以說(shuō)，申請(qǐng)文書(shū)相當(dāng)于不見(jiàn)面的interview。你要通過(guò)這些文件，讓你希望師從的教授們了解你過(guò)去的成就、現(xiàn)在的能力和未來(lái)的打算。但僅僅這些并不夠。你還要告訴他們你是在什么樣的情況下取得這樣的成就的，是什么原因使你像你所聲稱的那樣杰出以及你為什么想深造。如果你曾遭受什么重大的失敗、挫折或失望，你需要對(duì)這些做出合理的解釋。
寫(xiě)好英國(guó)留學(xué)文書(shū)第三招：知曉會(huì)被提問(wèn)的問(wèn)題由于學(xué)校的類型，選擇的科系以及所選學(xué)校的威望，入學(xué)委員會(huì)將會(huì)閱讀成千上萬(wàn)的個(gè)人資料，為了讓你的文章有說(shuō)服力，令人難忘和個(gè)性突出，他們到底要得到什么信息?問(wèn)題涉及的范圍是什么?申請(qǐng)涉及的問(wèn)題范圍極廣，從人際方面怎樣的挑戰(zhàn)使你認(rèn)為它們鍛煉出你解決矛盾的能力和管理方面的技巧，到一些不定性的烏龍問(wèn)題，除了郵遞問(wèn)卷之外，大部分的學(xué)校通常會(huì)提供回答問(wèn)題的指導(dǎo)，請(qǐng)仔細(xì)地按部就班，不要偏離它們。
