2017年美国留学：推荐信写多少字最合适

有关推荐信是很多学生最为关注的问题，很多学生也在这个点上下了很多功夫，那么有关推荐信的字数多少合适？下面是对这个问题的解答。

问题1：推荐信的最佳字数是多少?好像说是300-400，但怎么好多人写的篇幅跟PS似的，何况我的三个推荐人，除一个比较熟悉我可以写出detail之外，另两位仅仅是教过我课而已，这样要怎么写内容，字数多少合适呢?

回答：一般来说，推荐信字数a4纸用5号字写占3/4张纸即可，没有具体要求。

问题2：因为我没有网申过，所以不大明白。推荐信有一定格式吗，比如称呼，落款，日期什么的。

回答：推荐信的格式有些模式可循,以下将针对各段提供模式作参考：

(一)抬头可用的格式有：

Dear Sir/Madam;

To Whom It May Concern:

(二)第一段：引文句子可以引用如：

It is a pleasure to recommend to you (name), a former student of mine at (name of university).

I an very happy to have this opportunity to recommend (name), who is presently applying for admission to your graduate (or undergraduate) program in (name of program).

I understand that (name) is applying for admissions to your graduate (undergraduate) school, and has requested that I write this letter of recommendation for her/him.

In my capacity as professor at xxxx University, I have known xxx for three years, as both his/her advisor and professor.

(三)第二段：这段可以提供最实质的内容。譬如,如果推荐者是教授, 解释学生在他门下所修的课程。

(name) took two of my courses during the 1984-85 academic year, as follows; xxxxx and xxxxx .

(Name) was enrolled in three of classes from September 1984 to June 1986 xxx and xxx .

接下来,教授写一些有关申请人在课堂上的表现,如完成的研究计划、实验室研究、研究报告、考试的成绩、课堂态度、讨论课的参与等,举出实例。

In my class (es), (name) did excellent work. She always listened attentively, participated activitely in class, and handed in very good written assignment.

In particular, his/her research paper on (topic) was of exceptionally high quality, and showed that s/he fully understands and has a strong background in his/her field.

如果推荐人是工作主管,首先一定要仔细陈述申请人的工作职责,并对申请者工作表现作一评估。如果可能的话尽量列举实例。

When (name) held the position of (job title) in this company she was one s/he was one of my best employees. His/her job responsibilities included (describe them), and s/he carried out his/her duties with exceptional skill and professionalism.

S/he not only did his/her own work, but also helped other employees, and made many valuable contributions to the ficient running to our firm.
