During his postgraduate phase, Mr. XXXX 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. As his director, I think that Mr. XXXX is an enthusiastic and progressive young man with extremely high potentiality.
After graduation in 20xx, he became one teacher in XXXX University and has been undertaking many important research and teaching tasks, especially on XXXX. Dependent on his excellent abilities, his proposal on XXXX was approved by XXXX in 2009, and he participated in the research project of XXXX was funded by XXXX in last year.
Mr. XXXX has a good experience of English training.
For example, he passed the Grade-6 (highest in China) English test. He has a good capacity of reading and writing scientific papers. I am certain that Mr. XXXX’s visit to your country will not only make great contributions to the laboratory in which he will stay and improve his academic capacity, but also promote mutual cooperation between the institution and our university.

nov. 30, 19xx pratt institute office of graduate admissions 200 willoughby avenue brooklyn, ny 11205 to whom it may concern: i have known him since 1996 and he has worked in our lab of xxx at xxx university for 3 years. mr. x is one of the best students in our department, he is both diligent and independent, intelligent and fast-learning. what impressed me most, is his
working attitude and ability. during the years in our lab, he was mainly responsible for the interior design and acoustic model test of xxx theater. as a student majored in architecture, he lacked the skills of such physical experiment at first. but i found that as soon as he was assigned this task, he began to study assiduously for relevant knowledge and read many references.
thus he mastered the skill of the experiment in a short time and can even install and debug the whole set of equipment himself. these equipment
included some sophisticated acoustic instruments and data processing programs. in the spring of 1998, his instructor, also his experiment director, had to go to japan for academic event. in the next half year, he finished the whole experiment
problems. mr. x is a student eager to learn. in order to acquire more knowledge, he began to study japanese, for many architecture books and journals are published in japan. in one year, he passed the level 3 of the japanese language proficiency test with a high score. recently i heard that he has also got excellent record in gre test.
i believe that he would have no trouble in studying abroad. when he told me he was planning for further research in u.s.a, i encouraged him. his talent and ability would ensure him to do outstanding works. i can state unequivocally that he will be well qualified for graduate studies in your group. i
would appreciate it if you could give him your favorable consideration. since
