美國留學(xué)推薦信只有寫的具體才有說服力，下面列舉的內(nèi)容都是許多申請者在寫留學(xué)推薦信時經(jīng)常用到的語言和內(nèi)容，如果你也落入這樣的俗套，你的推薦信會顯得千篇一律，很難讓讀者有興趣讀完。

1.無數(shù)的推薦信都寫被推薦人上課時積極表達(dá)自己的觀點，下課后還繼續(xù)與教師討論學(xué)術(shù)問題，但是談?wù)撌裁磫栴}，卻總是沒有具體的例子。如：

In class,she was an active participant,often raising incisive questions

an proviing solutions to problems. We often iscusse new an more efficient

solutions to a problem. Always actively participating in class,asking

perceptive an challenging questions

2.為了用事例說明被推薦人不斷地汲取各種知識，很多推薦人都在推薦信中這樣寫道：我經(jīng)常看見XXX在圖書館閱讀各類專業(yè)圖書和英語雜志。但是在圖書館學(xué)習(xí)是一個學(xué)生日常生活的一部分，正如一個司機在開車，一個農(nóng)民在地里干活并不能說明他們與別的司機或者農(nóng)民有什么不同，更不能說明有什么值得稱道的。

Very often I fin her reaing concentrately in the library with books or

English perioicals in his hans.

3.很多同學(xué)找到自認(rèn)為很有價值的推薦人寫推薦信，但是他們以前并不相識或者熟悉，為了在信中制造一個他們相識的合理情況，他們都用同樣的事例：被推薦人參加了推薦人的一次講座，講座結(jié)束或中間休息或上課時，被推薦人向推薦人提出了一些很有挑戰(zhàn)性的問題，于是推薦人就對被推薦人留下了深刻的印象。同上面的例子一樣，這樣的事例缺乏真實性。教授們在講座結(jié)束后往往只有幾分鐘的時間回答很多同學(xué)的提問，他不可能對某位同學(xué)留下特別的印象。即使是真實的，也因為太多的人這么寫，失去了可信度。

I first notice Mr. Xie in 1999,when I gave a lecture to stuents majoring

in microelectronics. At the en of the presentation Mr. Xie approache me an

aske several perceptive an challenging questions,which emonstrate his vast

backgroun knowlege an swift grasp of the ieas I ha expoune

4.有些推薦信的內(nèi)容太荒唐了，讓人不敢相信。

As his avisor,I was immeiately impresse by his enthusiasm an iligence

towars his stuies. Several times I woul telephone him before seven in the

morning,only to fin his ormitory mates sleepily answering that he ha left

for his stuies.

5.語言太夸張，完全失去了說服力。有的推薦信把被推薦人寫的比推薦人水平還高。讀完這樣的推薦信，外國教授不禁要想，既然這位同學(xué)的水平如此之高，他就不需要再進(jìn)修了。而且一般推薦人都為被推薦人的老師及上司，這樣寫也讓外國教授懷疑推薦人的水平。

In my numerous years of teaching experience rarely have I seen as talente

or eicate a stuent as Mr. Liu. I consier him my own source of

inspiration.

6.為了表明被推薦人做事細(xì)致認(rèn)真，推薦人總是喜歡在推薦信中提到：他總是第一個到實驗室，最后一個離開。這樣的事例幾乎是每位申請者要寫到的內(nèi)容。試想一下，如果你是錄取委員會的成員，你天天都讀到同樣的內(nèi)容，你會是什么樣的感覺。

The first to arrive an the last to leave,she took prie in making sure

that everything was in orer an well maintaine.

7.為了表明被推薦人學(xué)習(xí)態(tài)度端正，推薦人喜歡在推薦信中舉例說明：他總是坐在教室的第一排聽講。這也不見得就是一種美德。坐在后面的同學(xué)都是不努力的嗎?

He woul often sit within the first few rows,frequently raising questions

an clarifying concepts that were unclear to him/I first became acquainte with

Mr.Wang at my lecture,where he sat in the first row an impresse me with his

full concentration an enthusiastic participation in class iscussions

8. 為了說明被推薦人勤奮好學(xué)，推薦人經(jīng)常在推薦信中寫到這樣的事實：被推薦人總是要求推薦人推薦一些相關(guān)的書籍，或是被推薦人向推薦人借書看。這樣的事例太雷同了，缺乏獨特性。

To broaen his intellectual horizons,he has often aske me to introuce

books an journals for him to rea. Actually,he ha borrowe so many books from

my personal collection that he left quite a large part of my bookcase empty.

通過上面對美國留學(xué)推薦信八種俗套的解讀，相信對于很多計劃申請美國研究生的學(xué)生可以參考上面的信息來提前做好申請美國研究生的準(zhǔn)備和規(guī)劃。

【微語】留學(xué)之路雖長，愿你滿載祝福與勇氣，學(xué)成歸來，天地?zé)o限寬廣。
