　　Dear Sir or Madam:

　　I take great pleasure in recommending Wang Yong, one of my favorite students, for admission into your distinguished graduate program.

　　Mr. Wang was admitted in 1986 at 14 years of age into the SPECIAL CLASS for the GIFTED YOUTHS, my university's unique program that caters to the intellectual needs of unusually talented Chinese youngsters. It was a rare privilege he earned with his nearly impeccable academic performance through the years of his elementary and secondary school.

　　He impressed me almost as he entered into my university, a major cradle of china's scientific and technological talents. At the time, members of the Gifted Class all had to spend half a month studying by themselves the principles of calculus and then take an exam so that we could evaluate their self-study capability. Mr. Wang scored the highest grade in that exam. He also exhibited a keenly whetted mind during class discussions. To my regret at the time, his English was not as good as his mathematics or physics.(缺点介绍，公正真实) But I noticed he made a point of working especially hard in improving his English during his five undergraduate years with us. By now, he seems to be at least as proficient in English as most of his former classmates in the Gifted Class.

　　In my experience with Mr. Wang, I was impressed with not only his extraordinary intelligence but also his ambitions and persistence. I am sure that Mr. Wang will be an outstanding student in any doctoral program that he may care to enroll in. So I would like to support him firmly in his quest recommendation into account when considering his application. I would greatly appreciate it you decide to accept him as he wishes.

　　Yours sincerely

　　Professor and Deputy Head

　　I am pleased to write this letter for my former student Miss Nan Li， who graduated from this College with an L.B. degree in June 1978.Miss Li was admitted to the Department of Law of this College in 1974 through highly competitive entrance examination which is conducted annually and is open to the whole nation. Even in such a selective group. Miss Li made herself distinguished. As professor and dean of the College， I have access to her records of academic work and moral conduct， In her fourth year study， I instructed her in Anglo-American Laws on Trespass. So I have known her quite well. Miss Li’s performance， like that in many other courses she taken， was excellent with a superior grade of 86 for the first semester， and 84 for the second semester. In our university and in other university here， 80 is considered "A" ， the highest level. As far as I know， Miss Li wishes to continue her study in Law for an advanced degree. I am sure she has had sufficient prerequisite knowledge for the subject and certainly has the ability to undertake the st udy. I recommend Miss Li without reservation and shall appreciate your favorable consideration of her application

　　Dear Admission Office:

　　in capacity as professor of mathematics at fudan university i'm writing to recommend mr. wang gesintosyour phd program in computer science. i have known mr. wang since his sophomore year of college and have acted as his thesis advisor and mentor. in my experience he is a gifted and diligent student and an admirably hard worker.

　　wang is an impressive student because he has been forced to overcome the significant challenge of a serious illness during his freshman year. when i first met wang in my discrete math class he did not appear to be anything special to me. while his exam scores were good they were not as high as i would now expect of him. what i didn't know then was that due to his illness wang was attempting to take all of the difficult early mathematics courses at one time including discrete mathematics advanced mathematics linear algebra and possibilities. while most students found preparing for just one set of these exams difficult wang was overwhelmed by four of them. but in the end he achieved an impressive score on the final exam which made me conscious of his unusual determination he demonstrates when confronting difficult challenges.

　　mr. wang and i have often talked about a variety of mathematics and computer science concepts and problems. during these discussions i always found him to be delightfully intelligent. not only does he quickly understand the concepts and problems presented to him he is able to analyze these problems and present solutions. but perhaps most important is that wang's thinking is intensely rigorous. when looking at any question he carefully scrutinizes it and if he finds any uncertain issues he clears them up immediately. i believe this kind of thought is essential to become an excellent computer programmer.

　　serving as his thesis advisor i had a first-hand opportunity to observe the way in which wang's mind works. in his senor thesis mr. wang mainly discussed two challenging questions in regards to′ann′. in our books in china knowledge of ann and its uses are very rare. few people in china have studied this topic and consequently the materials that are available on ann are limited. working on this difficult project not only did mr. wang rise to the challenge but he went above and beyond the call of duty to analyze his secondary sources and test them for accuracy in practice. in this way he found mistakes in the book that we use. his diligence and hard work made me extremely proud of him.

　　mr. wang is an intelligent motivated and industrious individual. teaching and advising him has been a delightful pleasure. i know that if given the chance to study abroad in america he will arm himself to become a great programmer he dreams of being. he has the intelligence and background to achieve these goals - now all he needs is the opportunity. i ask that you look upon his application favorably and grant him a chance to study in your university.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Prof.
