在美国,申请学校、找工作、甚至租房子,都要求提供推荐信。推荐信一般是熟悉你的人,从第三者的角度对你加以评判,因此,和你自己的陈述相比,往往更客观。美国是个极重视个人信用的国度,可以说,推荐人是在以自己的信用为被推荐人“担保”,所说的话,分量自然不轻。一封有力的推荐信能够起到事半功倍的作用,因一封推荐信而得到工作、被学校录取、拿到奖学金的例子比比皆是。
对申请美国留学有一定了解的同学一定对“推荐信”这个词不陌生,仿佛不论我们申请什么都离不了这样那样的“推荐信”,那么推荐信到底是什么?要怎么写?谁来写呢?查字典出国留学网帮你整理出一套规范的大全出来,让你自己可以DIY推荐信。废话少说,我们开始罗。。。
签推荐信之前的准备:
1)要把信封准备好,用双面胶先把信封贴一面。到时候贴信封时,就会省不少时间。
2)推荐表中,把需要推荐人签字或打分的地方,用小黄即时贴贴一下,到时候签字的时候,就能直接找到这些需要签字的地方了。省得手忙脚乱漏掉一些地方。
定义:
我没查字典,顾名思义,一个人被另一个人推荐去做某件事情而写的信函,是一种应用文的文体。
什么地方会用到推荐信:
据我了解,从申请高中一直到博士,大部分美国学校都需要你提交推荐信,一般是在两三封左右(A4的纸大概一页半至两页即可),有利的推荐信是录取时考量的重要因素之一,它的好坏直接关系到你是否可以申请到奖学金,甚至是否可以出国留学,因此推荐信在你的申请材料中的地位是举足轻重的。
由谁来写推荐信:
一般来说,如果申请美国的高中或者大学,给你写推荐信的就是你的班主任、数学、英语老师;申请研究生和博士的话,一般就是你的班主任、专业课老师或者导师等;如果你是已毕业的人事,可以请你的领导来写(总之,就是尽量选择真正和你有过密切接触;熟悉你的综合能力、学习水平;真正欣赏你;能够突出你的个人特性和关键品质的人来写你的推荐信,而非选择官衔越高的领导或者越出名的学者、教授,因为美国的学校更青睐细节的东西,更青睐有力的证明人与材料)
推荐信包括内容:
一封推荐信除了信头、发信日期、收信人姓名、称呼、信尾谦称、签名、推荐人姓名、职务等必需部分之外,正文内容说明应包括:
被推荐者的签名——被推荐者的签名仅写“Mr. Wang”或“Miss Zhang” 是不行的。需要用汉语拼音全称或英文拼法都可以,但必须由被推荐者本人提供,且前后必须一致。
推荐人认识被推荐者的时间(How long have you known him/her)——何时开始认识,或认识了多久。
认识程度(How well do you know him/her)——是偶尔见面还是关系密切,或仅教过一年还是担任其导师。
与被推荐人的关系(Relationship)——师生关系,上、下级领导关系等。
被推荐人的表现(Performance)——学习、生活上、课堂和课外活动上的表现等。
结论意见——愿意推荐或不愿意推荐,无保留或有所保留的推荐、普通推荐或极力推荐,必须明确,当然极力推荐为最好。以上六项是任何一封推荐信所必须包括的,缺其中任意一项则都会失去其应有的功能或会大大降低推荐的效果。
