How to write a recommendation letter?

Letters of recommendation are usually written by recognized teachers, or you can write letters of recommendation with professors who are working on projects and have them sign them. Of course, you can also ask them to sign after you finish writing. This article will introduce you to the writing skills of recommendation letters.

Choose the right teacher

Foreign universities need letters of recommendation from your teachers (sometimes for a certain subject) or professors. If there are no specific subject requirements, your English and math teachers are often better candidates.

Writing skills

Communicate with people who write letters of recommendation. For teachers, it is important that they focus on your learning talent and achievements in class, because this is what colleges and universities want to see in teachers' letters of recommendation. Talk to them. You remember their courses and your participation. It is better to emphasize a specific event, paper or any example that may help them provide anecdote information and specify your achievements than vague praise.

Give enough time.

Remember to give the person who wrote the letter of recommendation enough time, at least one month before the deadline, so as to have time to write it and send it. Like anything, the sooner you start, the better.

Recent situation

Because for potential candidates, colleges and universities want to see your recent situation, so it is best not to go too far. If you have a teacher who also participates in your extracurricular life, his/her recommendation letter will be ideal.

An early decision or action plan

If you haven't started at the end of spring, if you apply to a school decided in advance or under an action plan, you need to inform the person who wrote the letter of recommendation at the beginning of the school year.
