推荐信写多少字最好？篇幅大致有多少？是否有可直接拿来参考的标准格式......这些问题无疑是众多中国学生在申请美国学校时针对推荐信在格式和字数多少上众多疑问的主要几个方面。今天，就让我们一起来分享一些推荐信的写作技巧，希望对广大的申请人起到一定的帮助。　

　　疑问1：推荐信以多少字为佳？有人说是三百至四百字之间，可事实上却是很多人写的推荐信好似PS一般；除此以外，3个推荐人中，除了一个对我有深入的了解，能够在推荐信中进行一些详尽的描述外，剩下的两位只是给我上过课，仅此而已；在这样的情况下推荐信该怎么写，写什么内容，篇幅又该控制在多少呢？

答疑：对于推荐信没有具体的要求，我们举个详细点的例子便于大家把控：通常情况下，采用5号字体能占到A4纸的3/4即可。

　　疑问2：在落款、称呼和日期这些问题上，推荐信是否有严格的格式要求

答疑：在这些方面，推荐信确实有可遵循的方式，下面我们就分段进行分析：

　　1、俯首的格式：

　　Dear Sir/Madam;

　　To Whom It May Concern：

　　2、榜首段：引文句子。

　　“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.”

　　3、第二段：本段是质性内容。以推荐者是某教授，解释学生在他门下所修的课程为例：

　　“(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”.”

 

紧随其后，推荐者开始描述一些推荐人在其门下时的表现情况，如研究计划的进展情况，发表的研究报告，学习成绩以及课堂讨论时的参与程度等，下面我们举例：

　　“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.”

若是工作中的上司进行推荐，那么其首先要在推荐信中详述申请人的工作职责；再次，对其工作表现进行评价；在情况许可的情况下最好能列举相关的实例：

　　“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 efficient running to our firm.”
