范例： 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 Councils 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 Weikuo Research Fellow and Professor The Institute of European and American Studies 分析： 您觉得这封推荐信怎样呢? 如果这是一封为秘书介绍新工作的推荐信，那还可以接受;不过对于申请研究生院来讲，就似乎不太够力度了。首先，这封推荐信犯的一个大忌就是不够明确。从信中我们只看到推荐人很努力地用了一大堆形容词，试着告诉入学评审委员，这个申请人很聪明、很热心、很有潜力、很有分析能力云云，相关的例证却付之厥如;接著，这封信又未能指出这个申请者这些特质与将来的研究领域有何相关，只说在这个申请人的帮助下，他可以专心于研究工作，言下之意似乎就是告诉对方这个申请者是个很好的秘书，而非一个有前景的研究生。 |
