丹麥留學(xué)申請材料推薦信準(zhǔn)備指南

字號:


    去丹麥讀書的學(xué)生,在準(zhǔn)備申請的材料的時(shí)候,也不要忘記了推薦信的寫作,需要提前聯(lián)系推薦人。和出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)一起看看丹麥留學(xué)申請材料推薦信準(zhǔn)備指南。
    推薦信要求
    一般情況下,申請者需要提供2~3封推薦信,而且要真實(shí)客觀。推薦信是從第三人稱的角度來介紹和評價(jià)自己的。
    在選擇推薦人時(shí),最好是選擇熟悉自己情況的人,這樣可以對你在學(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域的潛能及成就描述出來。另外,推薦人最好是具備一定的專業(yè)性,如大學(xué)導(dǎo)師等。因?yàn)榇髮W(xué)導(dǎo)師對你在大學(xué)期間的學(xué)術(shù)、學(xué)業(yè)以及實(shí)踐方面有很好的了解,而且老師的描述也是非??陀^的。
    推薦信的主要內(nèi)容包括:推薦人與被推薦人的熟悉度及關(guān)系,然后是推薦人對被推薦人的整體評鑒,從個(gè)人素養(yǎng)、性格特點(diǎn)、學(xué)習(xí)能力、科研能力、溝通能力、組織能力等方面進(jìn)行評價(jià),如果有條件,可以列舉一些案例以作支持。
    寫作要點(diǎn)
    1、宜早不宜遲:推薦信需要時(shí)間寫,何況又得配合老師的時(shí)間。所以盡快起草你的推薦信,以便使你的推薦者有充裕的時(shí)間為你的推薦信效力。
    2、提供充份的信息給推薦者:如果你要推薦者能掌握你的優(yōu)點(diǎn),你得提供充份的信息。自然,要盡量具體避免空洞地陳述。同時(shí),你也該提供你申請學(xué)校截止日期給推薦者參考,以免推薦者耽誤了你的申請。
    3、推薦信的打字書信字體,宜選不同的型式,以示不同的推薦者。屬需要圈選的表格者,可以直接以手稿填入。
    4、在邏輯推理下,推薦者不可能知道或了解你的特質(zhì),請勿提及。譬如說,學(xué)生課外活動(dòng)的表現(xiàn)就不適于平常教授正式科目的教授提及,除非教授也參與其中。又如其它課堂的表現(xiàn),除非其它教授曾經(jīng)提及過,否則不適合此科教授評論學(xué)生在其它科目的表現(xiàn)。再如,學(xué)生如何在圖書館查數(shù)據(jù)、寫報(bào)告花費(fèi)的時(shí)間,一般老師是不可能知之甚詳,除非實(shí)在太特殊而略有耳聞,故也不適合在推薦信中提及。
    5、推薦信的內(nèi)容盡量簡短有力:不要虛無空洞的形容詞,勤勞、負(fù)責(zé)、認(rèn)真、為人謙虛、誠懇等語句,不宜多引用,最好講出具體事實(shí),才不流于形式,尤其不要抄襲市面的書信范例,以免流于陳腔濫調(diào),落入俗套。
    6、如果可能的話,推薦者最好與你修的科目或?qū)W校相關(guān)。譬如說:如果你將來計(jì)劃主修英文,最好推薦人之一是英文老師。又如,如果你申請常春藤名校(IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL),推薦者若也是常春藤名校出身,則其推薦信將更有力。
    7、適當(dāng)提及自己的“缺點(diǎn)”。一封推薦信如果闡述的完全是被推薦的同學(xué)的優(yōu)點(diǎn),不免讓人覺得有粉飾之嫌,如果能恰當(dāng)?shù)丶尤胍恍叭秉c(diǎn)”,不僅能令推薦信真實(shí),還會通過“似貶實(shí)褒”,反而突出了被推薦人的特殊氣質(zhì)。
    推薦信范文
    To Whom It May Concern:
    As Principal of George Mason High School I am delighted to recommend to you a stellar member of our teaching staff, Mr. Samuel Cohen, and to write this letter on his behalf. Sam has taught American History at the school for three years. He is one of our most popular and effective instructors and has already won several teaching awards.
    He came to us directly upon completion of his bachelor’s degree, but immediately settled in as if an old pro. Sam is a master of all of the ingredients of successful teaching, especially the ability to inspire.
    This gentleman is highly professional in both dress and demeanor. To my knowledge Sam has never come to work without both a suit and tie, more times than not a bow tie. The majority of others at the school, both teachers and students, dress differently and lean to more informality. Never once, however, has Sam’s manner of dress elicited the slightest comment. Why? It is simply because Sam’s attire seems entirely natural given his dignified comportment.
    That comportment in turn is driven by Sam’s love and respect for American History. Sam views himself as the messenger for something serious and important, and this is reflected in the way he teaches and in the way his students respond.
    Reaction to Sam’s classes has been overwhelmingly positive. So much so that more than once it has been reported to me that study hall students have been spotted lingering outside the door to Sam’s classroom listening to his lessons.
    Sam’s impact has even been felt outside the school with the parents themselves. His section on the importance of voting has inspired students to cajole their parents to register to vote. Several have mentioned this to me at parent-teacher meetings. One even called the school to have me pass on their thanks to Mr. Cohen.
    The only thing that we in the school administration have ever worried about in regard to Sam is the prospect of funding his bottled water. Sam is such a passionate and prolific speaker that he needs a steady supply to maintain his voice. So far we have gotten a pass on this, as students have bought it for him, including what must have been a year’s supply on his last birthday.
    It will be a sad day when we announce that Sam will be pursuing his graduate degree on a fulltime basis. We can only hope that he keeps his promise and returns to us as soon as the ink is dry on his new diploma.
    Sincerely,
    Harold W. Brown
    Principal
    George Mason High School
