Dear Sir or Madam:
I take great pleasure in recommending Wang Yong, one of my favorite students, for admission into your distinguished graduate program.
Mr. Wang was admitted in 1986 at 14 years of age into the SPECIAL CLASS for the GIFTED YOUTHS, my university's unique program that caters to the intellectual needs of unusually talented Chinese youngsters. It was a rare privilege he earned with his nearly impeccable academic performance through the years of his elementary and secondary school.
He impressed me almost as he entered into my university, a major cradle of china's scientific and technological talents. At the time, members of the Gifted Class all had to spend half a month studying by themselves the principles of calculus and then take an exam so that we could evaluate their self-study capability. Mr. Wang scored the highest grade in that exam. He also exhibited a keenly whetted mind during class discussions. To my regret at the time, his English was not as good as his mathematics or physics.(缺点介绍，公正真实 But I noticed he made a point of working especially hard in improving his English during his five undergraduate years with us. By now, he seems to be at least as proficient in English as most of his former classmates in the Gifted Class.
In my experience with Mr. Wang, I was impressed with not only his extraordinary intelligence but also his ambitions and persistence. I am sure that Mr. Wang will be an outstanding student in any doctoral program that he may care to enroll in. So I would like to support him firmly in his quest recommendation into account when considering his application. I would greatly appreciate it you decide to accept him as he wishes.
Yours sincerely

Professor and Deputy Head

英语作文出国留学的缺点【二】
在当今社会，人们生活水平越来越高，科技越来越发达，一些高科技也层出不穷，但是在生活中，有一些发明并不是十全十美，这些例子值得我们深思。
比如，我们生活中最常见的塑料袋，它之所以被誉为20世纪最糟糕的`发明是因为它虽然方便了人们出行，携带东西方便，但是科学家忘记了一点，在塑料袋由慢慢被人们接受到经常使用以后，是否能合理使用并且合理处置用过后的塑料袋。由于它不能被降解，导致环境污染，阻碍植物生长，给农作物带来了严重的减产。
最近，科学家发现了第八个大陆、那是由人们所用过的塑料袋被风吹到海里堆积而成！它们经过海水的慢慢腐蚀，演变成了新大陆！由此看来，并不是所有发明都是十全十美的，但是，为了避免对环境造成更大的伤害，科学家已经开始研制可降解的塑料袋，并且有限制的让人们使用塑料袋，让人们花钱购买塑料袋，提倡使用布包。
再例如，电池是18世纪的杰作，方便了人们储存电，储存电能大，并且能充分利用电，能够安全使用电。但是在当今，电池已经是一个重要污染源了，它如果被扔在地下就会引起大面积土地被污染，导致农作物亡，造成农民不小的损失。因此，电
池这个发明也不是十全十美的。
所以，为了防止土地被电池所污染，人们开始建回收电池垃圾箱，开始回收利用电池，这是一种保护措施。另一种就是发明代替产品，不用电池也可以储存电，但是目前科学家还没有发明出来能够完全代替电池的产品。所以，未来等着我们去发明。
再比如，现在最新的发明——机器人，它们能帮助人类工作，能比人类工作效率高，既实用又方便，让人们的生活更轻松，减小压力。但是，一旦机器人进入市场，并且大量使用会造成什么后果？会使人类失业率增大，造成人类手工业退化。它是方便了人们生活，但是长期使用机器人会使人类社会慢慢停滞不前，所以，我们要合理的使用机器人，只让它们代替人类做一些对人类来说比较高难的工作，这样会更加加大对机器人的利用率，并且没有导致大批人员失业。
由此看来，当今最先进的发明——机器人，也有它的弊端，科技创新并不是十全十美的、我们在合理使用它们同时也要扬长避短，把科技创新的优点加大，缺点减为最小，使科技创新的利用率加强，逐步使人类社会提高。
同学们，让我们用勤奋的双手，智慧的头脑使自己成为未来科技的主人，努力创造发明，为人类社会做出贡献。
