2015规范推荐信写作指导
如何写好推荐信？
您是否不知道如何写好一篇推荐信，即recommendation letter，告诉您一个简单的撰写程序。
第1步
高中开始时就要努力学习，这样你就会有好的成绩，而你的老师对你才会有好的印象。
第2步
课上多问老师问题，无论是课间或课后，这样老师们才会对你个人有所了解。这些问题同时也能帮助你更好地理解课程内容并提高你的成绩。
第3步
参加课外活动，如篮球，足球，辩论队，剧团，及高中乐队等。这些中的多数都是同高中老师指导的，这也是更好地去了解你的老师的一个好办法。同样地，老师们也会看到你有创造力，富有激情的一面。
第4步
自愿帮助你的老师，高中校长，行政管理人员等。不管无报酬，自愿服务都是一个很好的机会，并且能展现你是一个非常负责，仔细周到并专业的人。
第5步
在大学申请的第一次截止日期前的3-6个月里，列出可能给你一封不错推荐信的'老师名单。
和你关系不错或者在他的课上给了你很高成绩的老师是理想的选择。
你需要至少三封推荐信。
第6步
并不是所有的推荐信都要来自于教过你的老师。
比如，如果一个大学要求3封推荐信，你可以从你兼职工作的老板那里得到一封推荐信。
第7步
一些大学要求你提交私人推荐信，比如一个好朋友写的推荐信。他们希望了解一个学生在私人生活里的行为，从而推断你在学校里的表现。
第8步
确保在大学申请的第一次截止日期前的3-6个月里，向老师索要推荐信。
老师要给成打的学生写推荐信，出于礼貌要尽可能早的给他们留出时间来完成这封推荐信。
第9步
请牢记你所要申请学校的推荐要求。很多电子版申请会给你的老师提供一个链接以用于填写推荐信。有的可能允许你上传PDF格式的文件。还有的将需要提供书面材料。
第10步
在向你老师要求推荐信并得到其确认之后的几天时间里，你需要发电子邮件通知他们接下来所要做的。首先，用以上的要求清单，写一封单独的电子邮件给每个你的推荐人，并且告知他们写信时需要参照的详细说明。你要指出是哪所大学需要该推荐信，并告知填写各个大学推荐表格时所要遵循的步骤。

推荐信参考范文：
Dear Admissions Committee,
I am writing to express my full support for Xiao Xiao, who is applying to graduate school at [name of school]. Though I am currently a visiting scholar at the University of California, San Diego, I was Xiao's supervisor at the VVV University School of Architecture and Civil Engineering. In my [number] years in academia, Xiao stands out as one of the best students I've encountered.
As the professor in charge of VVV's student union, I spent several years supervising and working closely with Pan, who served as the union's chairperson and monitor. Pan's work included managing the routine affairs of his class of 76 students and planning many student activities. Consequently, through our close contact, I gained a thorough understanding of and respect for Pan's character, his strong organizational skills, and his leadership ability. For example, in fall 1997, Xiao organized an evening party for incoming freshmen. I still vividly remember the party's resounding success, as well as Pan's unswerving attention to details.
Dedication and passion are hallmarks of Pan's character. Although the work he did as a student leader was time-consuming and tiring, he never complained. He simply embraced his responsibilities, and enjoyed the tasks at hand. Students acknowledged his devotion to his classmates repeatedly: For four years in a row, the student body elected him monitor and chairperson. Xiao felt great warmth not only for his classmates, but also for society at large.
Sincerely,
Professor NAME
Department of Electrical Engineering,
ABC University
