提示:文章皆為原創(chuàng)。 我已加入“維權(quán)騎士”的版權(quán)保護(hù)計(jì)劃,版權(quán)所有,未經(jīng)作者允許禁止轉(zhuǎn)載,違者必究。 上次給大家分享了留學(xué)推薦信的誤區(qū):留學(xué)推薦信:那些不可不知的“夸人藝術(shù)”,在具體進(jìn)行推薦信寫作的時(shí)候,往往不經(jīng)意的一些細(xì)節(jié)反而會(huì)讓你的推薦信踩雷,甚至讓你的隱含負(fù)面信息不斷放大。今天就接著以一篇推薦信為例,給大家具體來講解一下到底什么才是一篇優(yōu)秀的推薦信。下面我將會(huì)逐段分析,如何從第三者視角有說服力的展現(xiàn)申請(qǐng)者的優(yōu)秀。 開頭部分 Dear Sir/Madam, I have known Amy over the last two years as my personal tutee who is studying for the degree of BSc Economics and Finance at XYZ University. I am writing this letter of recommendation at her request. 點(diǎn)評(píng): ◆ 推薦信切忌用英文名;使用英文名是非常不正式的做法;作為開頭第一句介紹申請(qǐng)者,一定要用申請(qǐng)者的拼音全名(除非你的護(hù)照上姓名是英文的); ◆ 推薦信開頭需要簡(jiǎn)明扼要說明推薦人自身的資質(zhì);推薦人的資質(zhì)也是判斷推薦信可信度,以及評(píng)價(jià)分量的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)之一;比如不少同學(xué)會(huì)請(qǐng)輔導(dǎo)員或者班導(dǎo)做推薦人,那么從學(xué)術(shù)角度來說,這些推薦人的推薦信遠(yuǎn)不及你的專業(yè)課老師的推薦信;同樣你和推薦人的熟識(shí)程度,認(rèn)識(shí)年限等等都會(huì)是潛在影響推薦信的credibility; ◆ 該段落的語(yǔ)言太過于“客觀”, 但讓招生官無法感受到任何positive 的態(tài)度;過度“客觀”的推薦信,在招生官眼里只會(huì)看出negative 的潛臺(tái)詞。 開頭修改后: Dear Sir/Madam, It’s my pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation for XXXX who plans a further study in your esteemed institution. As a professor of Finance at XXXX University, I have been her lecturer of XXXX since 2019. XXX impressed me with her intellectual curiosity and passion for finance studies. Based on my knowledge of XX, I’m confident that she would be your qualified candidate. 點(diǎn)評(píng): ◆ 整個(gè)行文非常流暢;雖然沒有用復(fù)雜的詞匯,但是每一個(gè)詞用得都十分地道和精準(zhǔn)而且正式;不要聽信一些機(jī)構(gòu)所謂的“故意在推薦信里寫出語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤,從而體現(xiàn)是non-native speaker親自寫的推薦信”;在外國(guó)人的眼中,你的語(yǔ)言表達(dá)或者用詞,其實(shí)影射了寫作者的受教育程度和地位;作為大學(xué)的教授,也本應(yīng)該有與其身份所匹配的表達(dá)形式;過多的語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤,和語(yǔ)言表達(dá)不準(zhǔn)確,只會(huì)降低你推薦信的credibility; ◆ 開頭段落邏輯清晰,有條理得闡明了推薦人與被推薦人的關(guān)系,以及一些相識(shí)的細(xì)節(jié);增加推薦信的可信度; ◆ 作為開頭段落,總結(jié)性的闡述申請(qǐng)者兩大突出的特點(diǎn),重點(diǎn)突出。為后面主體段落用更客觀事實(shí)說服招生官進(jìn)行了鋪墊。 主體段落節(jié)選 XX has passed all the modules so far and her performance has been very good, averaging a First in her first year and a respectable Upper Second in her second year. XXXX seems quite determined to improve upon her performance and is aiming for an overall First Class. I feel reasonably confident that she will be able to achieve this target. 點(diǎn)評(píng): ◆ 整個(gè)段落雖然沒有一個(gè)負(fù)面的詞匯,但是傳達(dá)的信息都比較negative;比如闡述了申請(qǐng)者第一年成績(jī)是一等學(xué)位;第二年成績(jī)是二等學(xué)位。對(duì)于成績(jī)下降這樣的描述,雖然是客觀事實(shí),但是放在推薦信里,這樣的負(fù)面信息會(huì)被無限放大; ◆ 整個(gè)段落比較空洞;雖然推薦人評(píng)價(jià)學(xué)生是 “determined to improve upon her performance”,但沒有具體的事例可以證明,不僅沒有說服力,反而會(huì)讓招生官讀出這樣的潛臺(tái)詞:“也許申請(qǐng)者沒有什么可以值得夸贊的,所以推薦人只是泛泛的談了一點(diǎn)申請(qǐng)者有決心不斷改進(jìn)”。 遇到這樣的情況,可以深度挖掘一下申請(qǐng)者和推薦人之間的一些交往細(xì)節(jié),有些被學(xué)生自己忽略的細(xì)節(jié)和優(yōu)勢(shì)其實(shí)可以很好地體現(xiàn)在推薦信中。 該段落修改后: XXX is passionate about connecting abstract financial theories with real-life problems, whether that means exploring applications of financial theories among multiple emerging countries or volunteering as an assistant at economic society. As I remember, XXX once completed an insightful report concerning XXXXXX. What impressed me most was, in her essay, she not only XXXXXX but also XXXXXXXXXX and paid special attention to XXXXXXX, which is a little beyond my expectation. Her lucid and clear explanations and intellectual rigor demonstrated in the essay made her deserve to be one of the top 10% students in my class. 點(diǎn)評(píng): ◆ 本段落邏輯清晰,牢牢抓住申請(qǐng)者活學(xué)活用的特點(diǎn),詳略得當(dāng)?shù)恼宫F(xiàn)申請(qǐng)者的學(xué)術(shù)能力。在短短的幾十字內(nèi),通過具體的事例說明申請(qǐng)者的優(yōu)勢(shì),十分有說服力; ◆ 最后量化了申請(qǐng)者的優(yōu)秀表現(xiàn),能夠讓招生官在該申請(qǐng)者的成績(jī)上有個(gè)大致的判斷。 ◆ 通篇用一個(gè)相對(duì)客觀的描述,通過細(xì)節(jié)和用詞的技巧,巧妙且毫不夸張得展現(xiàn)了申請(qǐng)者的學(xué)術(shù)優(yōu)勢(shì)。 結(jié)尾原文 If I can provide you with any further information, please feel free to contact me at abcd@edu.ac.uk 點(diǎn)評(píng): ◆ 作為推薦信的最后一句,十分簡(jiǎn)單和寡淡;推薦人也沒有表明自己的任何立場(chǎng)(例如強(qiáng)烈推薦,一般推薦)。切記,在推薦信中過于“客觀”的內(nèi)容都會(huì)被潛意識(shí)里理解成負(fù)面信息; ◆ 該段落只有一句,但是語(yǔ)言表達(dá)上卻十分拗口。If I can provide you with any further information 是非常明顯的邏輯問題;作為一個(gè)native 讀者在讀到這句話的第一反應(yīng)是:如果推薦人有跟更多的信息可以提供,為什么不在推薦信里直接寫明呢?為什么需要我們進(jìn)一步聯(lián)系他的郵件呢?是推薦人有什么難言之隱么? 為了讓整篇推薦信更加流暢,需要適當(dāng)?shù)脑黾油扑]信positive 的信息。 結(jié)尾修改后: XXXX has my unequivocal support in her further study. I have no doubt that Amy will make an outstanding performance in your programme. I strongly recommend Amy as a suitable candidate for the postgraduate study at your university. Please don’t hesitate to contact me, should you need any further information. 點(diǎn)評(píng): ◆ 雖然整篇推薦信以事實(shí)為基礎(chǔ),但是在結(jié)尾處用一些推薦人主觀的評(píng)價(jià),可以襯托出整篇推薦信的基調(diào); ◆ 修改后的語(yǔ)言連貫通順,用詞精準(zhǔn)正式,從而從側(cè)面體現(xiàn)了學(xué)者的層次和素養(yǎng)。 今天就分享到這里~我之后將繼續(xù)給大家分享更多經(jīng)典文書成功失敗對(duì)比案例。 |
