Dear Sir or Madam,

       With so many students going or having gone to study abroad in our school, Weiwei Tang is among the few for whom writing a letter of recommendation is really a pleasure.

       I first saw her when I worked as a tutor teacher（班主任）of a class in the third year of its senior high school. That day ,I was on the playground supervising the morning exercises of my class .Next to mine were the classes of the freshmen .Among them was a girl ,to whom the morning excises of our school seemed totally alien（陌生的）. She didn’t seem to be worried or embarrassed, but she exercised to the music, copying the moves of her classmates. Her confidence impressed me.

       Later, when I was watching an English talent show in our school, I saw the girl again. She was hosting the program .That time, her beautiful spoken English struck me .Later on , I learnt from other teachers of English that she often did such jobs on similar occasions.

       In 2006, when they became grade three students, I was in charge of English teaching of two classes, one of which was Class 11, and the girl became one of my students. Facing the College Entrance Exam, they were going to pass one of the hardest years of their life. Though Weiwei Tang didn’t top the class in academic performance, two of her individualities contributed to my pleasure of writing this very letter .For one thing, she was definitely among the students who were often around the teachers, communicating ideas and asking questions; for another, her confidence wasn’t lessened by the pressure from going to an idea college.

       Her active participation in various campus activities may have contributed a lot to her being so friendly to others and so communicative.

       When she told me of her plan to study abroad and her TOFEL grade, I didn’t feel it unexpected, because I believe that is what she should do—facing more challenges and creating more chances .Her confident smiles deserve more.

                                                                                                      Sincerely yours,

                                                                                                      Kane Shaw
