How to write a personal recommendation letter for Tsinghua University's self-enrollment and self-improvement plan?
Letter of recommendation and cover letter

Don't write letters of recommendation as "comments". Don't copy the same recommendation letter "Haitou". Analyze the characteristics and traditions of different universities and write different letters of recommendation.

Self-enrollment schools basically require applicants to provide letters of recommendation from others, which can be subject teachers, class teachers, grade heads, middle school principals, or familiar university professors and celebrities-if there are such candidates. An important function of recommendation letter is to further reflect your comprehensive quality. Ask others to write letters of recommendation, pay attention to three points:

First, you can't write a letter of recommendation as a "comment". Since primary school, teachers have written comments to us every semester, basically in the form of: "This classmate is progressive in thought, United with his classmates, caring for the collective, helpful and simple ..." Everyone's comments are similar. At present, some schools implement electronic archives, and teachers can even copy and paste to complete the evaluation of a student. At most, adjectives such as "comparison", "extraordinary" and "average" are added before each student's various abilities and qualities.

The second is to have personality. Whether the recommendation letter can play a role depends on whether it has personality. In 2009, Peking University introduced the real-name recommendation system for middle school principals, and 39 middle schools that obtained the recommendation qualification recommended nearly 100 outstanding students. "Deep thinking shows unique talent and humanistic spirit in humanities", "I have begun to explore and think about philosophy and life", "elegant temperament, sunny appearance, a lily on campus" ... These suggestions make everyone puzzled. A personalized recommendation letter should evaluate the advantages and potential of the student according to the enrollment requirements of the university, rather than empty words and cliches.

The third is objective truth. Objective truth will not give the applicant extra points, but not objective truth will inevitably lead to lower school evaluation. During the self-enrollment interview, the interview teacher will ask questions according to the information provided by the recommendation letter. If the recommender says you are too perfect, it will undoubtedly raise the expectation of the interview teacher, and if your performance in the interview is not as perfect as the recommender says, your score is likely to be low.

In addition to letters of recommendation, some colleges and universities also need students to write a letter of recommendation to recommend themselves to the school, which is similar to the letter of recommendation when college students apply for a job, mainly explaining why they want to apply for this school, what attracts me in this school, and what abilities and qualities I have in line with the school's goal of cultivating talents.
