四、推荐信
写作提示
推荐信主要是由有身份、地位的人士向学校或雇主介绍求学或求职者，是一种证明。推荐信在西方国家是求职、求学的必备材料。除了请别人推荐，也可以自荐。推荐信主要内容包括：事由，即推荐何人做何事；与被推荐者的关系；对被推荐者的介绍等。对被推荐者的介绍一般包括以下三个内容：
1.说明推荐人与被荐人的关系、熟识程度等。
2.概述被荐人的品质、能力、性格等。
3.建议招聘人或学校录用或录取。
推荐信上应提供推荐人的工作单位、地址、电话等以便对方联系，签名后必须注明职称或学衔。
写作策略
开头段：介绍自己，并表明自己的态度和写作目的，说明自己乐意推荐某人，也可以同时说明与被推荐人的关系。如师生关系就可写为：我极为高兴地推荐我的学生×××进入贵公司担任×××职务。
主体段：介绍被推荐人的人品、能力、性格特点等。这是推荐信的重点内容，要表述得精练、客观、准确，同时体现出推荐人的个人倾向。
结束段：建议用人单位或学校对被推荐人的申请予以重点考虑、聘用或录取被推荐人，并对用人单位或学校接受自己的推荐表示谢意。

Dear Sir，
Being a professor in Shanghai Finance and Economics University，I had given six lectures to Hua Sheng as an auditing teacher when she studied accountancy there as her second major，and had been her supervisor when she worked as an intern in my credit rating company.She had listened to me so attentively that many of the cases we studied in class were applied to her work effectively.
I was really impressed by Hua Sheng's performance during her five-week internship.In order to be more competent in the field of credit rating，she volunteered to assume more tasks，and further offered to work overtime with other regular employees.However hard the tasks were，she always managed to fulfill them with flying colors.Such devotion to her career even as an intern is rarely seen in her peers.As she had done well in her accounting major，with an average score of 85 for the core courses，in addition to her remarkable learning ability，Hua Sheng was capable of doing some of the basic businesses in the company，thus understanding the know-how of accounting more profoundly.She visited and researched fifteen companies in all，big or small，home or abroad，within the twenty-five weekdays.I could see a clear mind and a strong logic in her participation in writing credit rating reports.She was able to accomplish her own assignments independently while at the same time communicating smoothly/articulately/explicitly and cooperating excellently with all of the five teachers，who had given her some instructions during the internship；further she had raised a few profound questions in the specialty of credit rating.All in all，her work was highly appraised by everyone in the company.I would be really honor if you consider my recommendation.And it's sure you won't regret your decision.

2 Dear Sir or Madam，
The purpose of this letter is to make some suggestions for improving the service ofour university library.It has developed very well over the last few years in providing access to computer and CD ROM's，as well as printing facilities，and free online access.However，our library will become better if it can make some progress by taking the following measures.
First of all，the staff members of the library are not as hospitable as expected.Some of them even keep a stone face in front of the students.Furthermore，the studying room should provide more seats，because it is not spacious enough and I always have to spend a long time to find myself a seat.Last but not least，most undergraduate students complain that they can only borrow two items for a time.The figure should be increased to at least five due to studying needs.
I sincerely wish that my advice would be taken into full account.Your early reply is appreciated.
Yours sincerely，
Li Ming
