As a teacher in Department of Biology, Nankai University, a leading
university in China, I am very pleased to take this opportunity to recommend one
of my favorite students to your PhD program.

In September, 2004, Miss Zhang was my students in General Biology, the
first professional course they take in the field. She likes it very much. I
teach her in an open and interactive manner, she is active and passionate about
answering class questions. Miss Zhang is bright, energetic and enthusiastic girl
who loves speaking out her own ideas. She never escapes from those points of
which she is skeptical. Apart from that, she often puts forward her ideas upon
questions and exchanges all of her innovate ideas with me after class.

Upon ending of General Biology course, I asked my students to write an
essay upon their understanding of biology. I discovered Miss Zhang’s essay was
so impressive and persuasive; her careful essay comes from dozens of references
to Biology literatures. In essay Miss Zhang stretched out her creative thinking
upon status quo of biological research and branches in the field of biology. All
of this speaks to her creative and logical and scientific thinking capability. I
am gladly to say that Miss Zhang has a clear understanding about General
Biology, that comprehension has been reflected fully in her essay. Therefore
Miss Zhang got a full point for her essay in her class, and other students took
it as model essay for granted.

I believe Miss Zhang’s industriousness, passion and dedication will make
her an ideal candidate you are seeking for your program, so I highly recommend
her without any hesitation to you. And I will greatly appreciate it if you could
accept her into your program.

Sincerely yours,

Prof. ×××
