Recommendation Letter(1)
Dear Sir or Madam:
As ex-director of the Department of Applied Chemistry at Dalian Railway College, where Mr. *** studied, I am very glad to recommend him to the Chemistry Department of your university to further his studies.
A veteran professor with over forty years of teaching and scientific research experience, I can proudly say that he was one of the best students in the history of our department and that he was the representative of the best students of our college in many aspects. First of all I must say something about his excellent classroom performance. When he was a four-year student, Mr. *** ranked first in almost all subjects in the whole grade and proved to be excellent in many professional subjects. Not only so, but Mr. *** was very strong in experiment operations. I remember when I was teaching the subject of Experiment in Environmental Monitoring, I asked all the students to test the particles suspended in the air on campus. When doing the experiment, Mr. *** found an extraordinary added value in his experiment results. To many other students, this could well be considered as an entirely tolerable error. But grasping this phenomenon, Mr. *** made a scrutiny of the surrounding environment. It turned out to be the result of a dust raised by a group of students doing physical training not far away. Such a discovery, though of scarcely any particular scientific value, demonstrated a valuable style of strictness and a capacity of independent thinking in Mr. ***.
Such independent scientific research ability found even more concentrated expression in his graduation thesis research later. Entitled "Research on Treatment of Fluoride-Containing Waste Water with Waste Water," the thesis creatively suggested the technology of using the water from steel casting to treat fluoride-containing water. This technology was not only of theoretical significance, but would be of considerable practical application perspective. This marvelous work won his thesis the honor of excellence. Later on the basis of the graduation thesis, he published two theses of scientific research, which appeared in two different CA collection periodicals, known as Technology of Water Treatment and Shanghai Environmental Sciences respectively, something few undergraduates managed to do.
On top of these, Mr. *** has many personal characters worthy of special recommendation. We may well say he was a full-fledged good student. In him there are many fine qualities of taking delight in helping others, and of being cheerful and optimistic, which will be the guarantee for his future successes.
