I highly recommend Mr.Chen Futo your university.I had a chance to get to know him when he applied for a student exchange program in my school with University of California at Los Angeles since 2008.In order to select talent students to take part in the UCLA exchange program, we had several rounds of tests including written test and interview.Before preparing those tests, he communicated with me by MSN and telephone, and his breadth of knowledge and his attitude of study had given me a deep impression.He ranked first tier among students who enrolled in the program.I feel strongly that his academic talents and initiation will stand him in good state for a quality master education in your esteemed department.As an organizer of the program, I would constantly chat with my counterpart in UCLA.The feedback they gave to me further indicated that Chen Fu was one of the most outstanding students in the program.He was so enthusiastic to participate in group discussion that he would never miss any opportunity to exchange opinions with other students from all over the world as well as the faculty in UCLA.His leadership was well recognized during the two month study program in UCLA.I was surprised to find that he had grown so much in many aspects especially dealing with people from different culture background after he came back from UCLA.Obviously, hee is well prepared for advance study in U.S.In my experience with Chen Fu, I am sure that he will be an excellent student in a postgraduate program in the field he pursues.Therefore I would like to support and recommend him firmly.I really appreciate if you decide to accept him as he wishes.Ifthere is anything you want to know concerning about his application, please do not hesitate to contact me.Sincerely

第三篇：英文信的格式

(一)英文书信的组成部分

英文书信一般由六部分组成。即：信头（heading）、信内地址（inside address），称呼（salutation），正文（body of letter）、结束语（complimentary close）、署名（signature），有时在书信后面还有附言（postscript）、附件（enclosure），这得视具体情况而定。下面将分别说明。

1.信头（heading）

信头是指写信人的地址和写信日期，一般写在或打在第一面信纸的右上角，先写地址再写日期，地址的写法是从小到大，先写门牌号、路号，再写区名、市名、省名，最后写国名。时间的写法对英国人和美国人而言是不同的。英国人习惯按日、月、年的顺序写，而美国人习惯按月、日、年的顺序写。例如：

英式：1st october，1999

美式：october 1，1999

在使用前一种形式时，月和年之间的逗号可用可不用，但是在后一种形式中，必需要使用逗号。

信头的写法有缩进式和齐头式。缩进式每行开头向右缩进一两个字母；齐头式左边对齐排列，如下所示：

缩进式

wang ming

dept.of chemical engineering

dalian university of technology

dalian 11602

3liaoning province

p.r.china

齐头式

wang ming

dept.of chemical engineering

dalian university of technology

dalian 116023

liaoning province

p.r.china

2.信内地址（inside address）

信内地址要写出收信人的姓名和地址。一般给比较生疏的亲友的信和公事信件要写出信内地址，而熟悉朋友可以省去这一步骤。信内地址写出在日期下一两行的左上角，第一行写收信人的称呼姓名，然后写出地址。地质也是从小到大写出，分缩进式和齐头式两种。例如：

缩进式

the president

oxford university

england

齐头式

jiang bin

64heping road

p.r.china

3.称呼（salutation）

称呼是对收信人的称谓。在信内地址下一两行处顶格写起，自成一行。末尾用逗号或冒号。

（1）当给一位熟悉的人写信时可以用dear 或是my dear。在英国，my dear 比dear亲切，而在美国，dear比my dear 亲切。

（2）当给一位你不知婚否的女性写信时，可以用ms.……，这是指“……女士”。

（3）在给不熟悉的人写信时，可以用dear sir, dear madam, dear sirs, gentleman 等等。

4正文（body of letter）

正文是一封信的主体部分。通常在称呼的下一行写出。正文也可采用齐头式或缩进式的方法。齐头式是反映每段开头一行和后面行并齐。缩进式是指每段的第一行向右缩进几个字母。信笺讲究简洁、效率。开头几句简单地寒暄后就不如正题，在结尾处要有祝愿和敬语。

常用的开头语有：

i have received your letter of july ist.7月1 日来信已经收悉。

i have the pleasure to tell you that …….很高兴告诉你……。

i am very much delighted to receive your letter.非常高兴收到你的来信。

it is my honor to inform you that ……很荣幸告诉你……。

常用的结束套话有：

i am looking forward to hearing from you 盼早日回信。

wish best regards.祝好。

thank you for your help 感谢你的帮助！

wish my best wishes for your success.祝你成功。

第四篇：美国大学面试

启德顾问推荐:

大学申请时，为什么要准备面试？首先得澄清，大学面试不和你的英文水平有关，但跟你的整个人的综合素质和临场应变能力有关。

学生的interview分两种：“friend to friend?和“interviewer to interviewee”。大多数大学面试是前一种，在一种相对很轻松的气氛里进行，一般时间大约45分钟，一小时，甚至一个半小时以上。“interviewer to interviewee”方式的面试，则类似于我们大人的求诊面试，有限的时间里给你机关枪似的一串的提问，一般是限制在30分钟以内。后一种面试对高中学生来说，难度相对大的多，很容易造成他们紧张。

不管哪一种形式的面试，孩子们最好都要稍做准备。比方说，你申请哈佛，常规问题：“为什么你想申请上这所学校？”你绝对不能说：因为这学校有名，因为这学校给的助学金比其它学校多……那你就完了！你得先上人家学校的网站，了解人家学校的具体情况及办学理念等，根据你所选的专业，看他们能否提供你机会，然后，你才能真的告诉别人为什么你要这所学校：学校的人文环境，学校的办学理念，具体program对你的吸引力，以及学校对你未来career的可能有的影响等来谈。这样，人家一看，你报这所学校不是盲目的，不是赶潮流，人云亦云。

其次，面试的关键是自信。一般无论长短的面试，都会问你起码4个问题左右或以上。在有限的时间里，如果人家问你：“你如何看待美国在国际上扮演的角色的重要性？”即便关心政治的成人，也要思考片刻看如何回答，对吧？更何况一个普通高中学生呢？你不想看到你的孩子在面对这类问题时没有思想准备的表情，和“嗯。。啊。。噢。。”等语气词，你希望他胸有成竹，侃侃而谈，充满自信。

还有，要注意谈话技巧，不要心里想什么，就马上倒豆子出来。一个例子，有个面试的人问学生：“你怎么看待同性恋这个问题？”孩子很正直，马上不假思索地说了一串来表达对同性恋的道德上的反对和谴责。等他说完，那个面试他的人平静地告诉他：“对不起，我就是一个同性恋者。”其结果，你怎么想都可以。

我方方面面观察了很久，从一般的general questions，到结合学校的兴趣所在，以及高中生的实际情况，准备了这些面试问题。我不敢说它几年后不会过时，但是，作为现在高中的学生的参考，我相信是可行的。我儿子上面提到的两种面试形式，他都遇上了，一个面试长达2个小时。另一个面试，人家排队的一大堆，每个人只允许有30分钟。面试他的人是一个50出头俄国裔career woman，当地一家大公司的总裁，说话精练，办事果断，雷厉风

行。在30分钟里，不停地向你扔球，不给你任何喘息的机会。这种情况，你是需要心理承受能力的。我儿子不lucky，遇到这么tough的面试的人，但是，他有备而去，沉着接球，并勇敢地抛回去。在旧金山的某大学的校友会的面试会里，那天，30个学生，一个接一个，经历了这场某种意义上的拼杀。

我即使准备这些面试题给大家，也不代表每一个孩子都能因此有好的面试结果，因为各人对问题的理解不一样，答案也会不同；怎么地回答，大人指点可以，但其实不能代替回答。代替的回答，是变了味儿的，走了形的，人家听得出来。所以，就此而言，在面试，你的孩子回答，多少可体现出一些他/她的一向的综合素质的。

最后，我要说的是，好的面试，不会增加你孩子的录取机会，但是，糟糕的面试，绝对地，会hurt他/她的被录取的chance。

那如何做好申请大学的面试呢？我认为所有的申请大学的面试，原则上高中生们都应该在其谈话深度上进行充分准备，主要要反映出他们的interests, experiences, and goals。

举一些例子吧，来说明如何准备面试。

Question 1: Why This College?

这个问题的重点是要显示出被面试的学生已经对该大学做了很深入地研究，和他/她对于学校而言是一个strong match.那么，如果该学生给了一个generic response that can be applied to any school，这就不成其为一个好的答案。比方说，人家问你：Why Columbia? 你的回答是：“Columbia has strong academics and is in the middle of New York City”，就太泛泛而论了。

比较好的回答是，这个学生给了一个response that showes some level of research but was not specific about why the school is a good fit for him/her.就好像这样的回答：“Columbia has very strong science programs and I want to study biology.I could also participate in lab work.There is also so much for students to do because of the many on-campus clubs and organizations.”

我认为，理想的答案是去show这个学生的极强的enthusiasm for the school，并且给一些specific examples of what the school has to offer and how that directly connects with the students interests.我如果这样回答，你觉得怎么样？“I love Columbia for so many reasons but the top three are: Access to Research, the Core Curriculum, and an Active Student Body.I hope to pursue my passion for science by working with Dr.Smith, who is working on Sleep Deprivation in Kids.Columbia’s unique core curriculum also really stands out to me.While I want to study in the sciences, literature is my second passion.I want to study Socrates, Emerson and Bronte with the best.And finally, I want to surround myself with an intellectually invigorating student body.As an active member of my school community, I want to get involved in college.At Columbia, the NY Outreach Program will allow me to continue my love of working with young disadvantaged kids.”

Question 2: Why Your Major？

大学一般都很清楚地知道，大多数高中生进入大学后，很可能会change their major，但是，他们仍希望通过这一个问题能看出这个学生已经有一些sense of direction.换言之，it is okay to be undecided, but the student should still describe what majors are appealing.于是，如果一个学生仅仅只是states a major but does not state why that major appeals to him/her，就像“I think I want to major in Chemistry” 之类的，显然这种答案是不能令人满意的。

较好的答案标准是，这个学生可以states a major without truly understanding what the major is but can support it with some activities.举一个例子，如果该面试的学生这样回答：“I want to major in something science oriented.Currently, I am considering Chemistry because it is a good combination of my passion for science and math.” 我认为，这还凑合吧。

优秀的答案，其标准应该是，这个学生should demonstrate thorough knowledge of a major, evidence of some pursuit of knowledge in that subject area and can connect it to the school well.比方说，或许这样地回答关于major的问题：“Chemistry is most likely what I will major in.I have taken two Chemistry courses at my school and scored a 5 on the AP test.I love Chemistry because it is the basis of almost everything that we use.This summer I worked with the Earth Science Department at Stanford where I helped a graduate student study the formation of ice on Antarctica.I had to use many of the chemical principles I learned, such as the difference between Oxygen 7 and Oxygen 8, to help date the dirt samples.I also realized that I love working in a lab, even though it can be tedious at times.MIT also has one of the best Chemistry Labs and the new Calorimeter is supposed to be the best in the world for dating samples.I want to be in that

environment and learn from the best.”

Question 3: What do you do just for Fun？

在我参观MIT的时候，他们的admissions officer告诉我，他们最引以为骄傲的是，他们的申请表和所有其它的学校最不一样的地方在于他们的第一篇essay就是问你，在业余的时间，不学习的时候，你喜欢做什么？那个Admissions officer对我说，很多亚裔的家长把孩子都包装得几乎完美，但千篇一律，缺乏个性。他们就是要通过这一问题，想看看学生们真正的本我。MIT不是光要 high score的学生，他们更看中学生的创造意识和创造能力。Caltech, MIT的功课，绝对比Harvard的要难念得多。在这两所学校里，零点几的课程需要你的脑子转得飞快！他们举例告诉我，有一个学生，在自家的后院里，按照所学的物理等原理，用干稻草做了一架飞机模型；还有一个学生，在自家的二楼卧房里，用电脑编写了一个洗衣程序，他不用下楼，通过他的电脑发出的alarm的叫声，便可知道他们楼下的洗衣房的洗衣机已经把衣服洗完了。MIT招生的人说：“我们需要什么样的学生？我们就需要这样的学生!” 所以，那些high-end schools 问你“What do you do just for Fun ”这样的问题，其目的是要get to know the student outside of academics.In another word, what will the student bring to campus other than a transcript and resume?

如果一个面试的学生数说一些他/她所做的事情，就是像watching TV or just hanging out with friends等，可想而知，人家会怎么评判你了。

对这一答案OK的标准是，面试的学生listed off extracurricular activities but did not mention why they are FUN.最perfect的回答是，面试的学生应该show出自己的热情、热爱 for things he/she does in free time.FUN things were not just extracurricular activities but also hobbies such as making models, running marathons, singing karaoke, etc.就像我上面提到的MIT的那些学生所狂热从事的爱好一样。

Question 4: What are your three greatest strengths？

其实这是给你一个机会highlight what you want to the admissions committee.你的回答应该是尝试着给人一种很thoughtful和nique的印象。千万别说：“I don’t really know what they are.Can we come back to this question? ” 如果你不能够很快地come up一个answer的话，这是很糟糕的一件事。

如果你只是给了3个(或n个)很generic attributes without providing details on how those attributes have been demonstrated，it’s fine but not perfect.好像“My three greatest strengths are: hard-working, smart, and funny ”之类的。

The great response is that the Student mentions 3 attributes(or 3+ attributes)and describes where each comes from and where they have exemplified it.举例，好像这样的一种回答：“My first strength is my compassion.I have been a peer counselor for the past 3 years and I have realized that I am able to connect with those that call.Many times people just want someone to listen to them without giving advice right away.I feel that, for the most part, I can find that line by just tuning into what the other person needs.My second strength is my ability to lead.For me leadership is not just forcing people to do something that I want but being able to build a common goal and inspiring others to reach it.As Vice-President of the Humanity Club at my school, it was hard to get people to volunteer their entire weekend to build a house because my classmates are so busy.But I created a poster board that told the story of a family that lost their house because of a fire.They had to live on the street and Habitat was helping them.I presented this family’s need to my club and also promised lots of pizza and soda for coming out to help.We took lots of pictures and posted them on the website and our school paper wrote a story about it.The next time the opportunity to build came up，we had more than enough volunteers.And my third strength is my curiosity.I love to ask questions and sometimes these questions lead to more questions than answers.But my curiosity is my drive to learn.I stay up late working on Physics problem sets not because I need to get them done, but because I truly want to understand how vectors are used to build bridges.”

Question 5: What are your favorite activities？

这是大学给你一个机会，让你去highlight你的1-3个activities and demonstrate their importance.如果你仅仅list off several activities without showing why they are important and meaningful，这不算一个好的response.真正好的回答标准是，学生列举three activities that he/she loves the most and why they are meaningful and how that makes him/her a good match for the school.比如这个回答：“Throughout high school, I have tried to get involved in several activities so that I could find my passions.Early on, I realized that swimming was something that I love to do.I have been on the team for all 4 years of high school.I just absolutely love being in the water and what is unique about swimming is that it is both an individual sport and a team sport.I get to challenge myself to be the best and still also contribute to a team goal.I have also been taking guitar lessons for 2 years now and am starting a band.I am not very good yet, but it is just a really great way to relax and I love music.Finally, I have been working on an independent research project where I am trying to determine how light gets filtered through the optic nerve.One day, I hope to become an ophthalmologist and I have been working with a professor at Stanford in his lab.We came up with the project together and I will be entering it into the Siemens Competition.”

通过以上问题的分析并解答，希望面试的高中生们能因此get some ideas，sense到面试的窍门在哪里。

我为所有的现在正在大学面试和即将大学面试的高中生们准备的面试题：

1、谈谈你的favorite books?

2、谈谈你在高中的the most important experiences?

3、谈谈你的favorite hobby?

4、What do you want to particsapate in at xxxxx college?(or What can you contribute?)

5、What are you looking for in colllege?

6、Why xxxxx college?

7、谈谈你的passion to journalism?

8、What is your career goal?

9、你是如何看到了其中的需要当你在选择做这种community service的时候？

10、Talk about your extracurriculars,your classes and your family?

11、Talk about the difference between the west vs.the east coast?

12、How about your personal attributions?

13、谈谈你在leadership方面遇到的challenge和你的解决?

14、What do you think about the role of the US in the world?(test your social/political awareness)

15、Talk about international relations?(also test your social/political awareness)

16、谈谈你如何看待teamwork?

17、谈谈你人生当中所经历的challenges?

18、如何面对stress?

19、What other colleges did you apply to? Why did you apply to these colleges?20、怎样看待同性恋？

21、Where would you like to live in the future?

22、How will you demonstrate responsibility and leadership qualities in your freshman year?

23、What social problems do you think your children will have to worry about in 20 years?

24、What is your weakness?

Ask the interviewer the following questions：

1、The experience the interviewers had at the college?

2、Whether the college was a good fit for the interviewer?

3、问interviewers 他/她所上的这个学校对他/她后来人生的影响？

4、请interviewers 介绍当地的大致综合情况(包括人文地理环境等)？

第五篇：美国大学职称

·美国大学职称

美国大学的工作员工粗略分为两类：教职员工（faculty）和行政员工（staff）中式四级制：助教、讲师、副教授、教授 美式三级制：助理教授、副教授、教授

公立大学的教职员工是州政府雇员，私立大学自筹经费，但教师职位同样两个系统： 终身系统（tenure-track positions）

非终身系统（non-tenure-track positions）:非终身系统的职称有多种：兼职（Adjunct）、访问（Visiting）、研究（Research）、临床（Clinical）等教授、副教授、助理教授，以及讲师（Lecturer）、导师（Instructor）、助教（Teaching assistant）等。许多理工科以及医学、生化等学科，除了担负给学生授课的教师外，还有大量研究人员，这些人员基本上属于非终身系统，他们的职称常见的有资深研究员（Senior Research Scientist）、研究员（Research Scientist）、副研究员（Associate Research Scientist）或助理研究员（Assistant Research）等。非终身系统情况复杂，这些都是合同制，即off the Tenure-Track。

终身系统职位基本分为三等：助理教授、副教授、教授。这个系统中，助理教授是最资浅的入门职位，在终身系统内的助理教授并不是终身教职，而只是拿到终身教职的必经步骤（tenure-track），只有走过这一步，才有可能得到终身教职。某些华裔学人在美国的大学担任的是助理教授职位，但在向中港台的大学或华文传媒介绍自己时，往往夸大说自己是终身教授，原因便是这个职位的确是在终身系统内。

助理教授不是终身教职，所以，任何人在这个职位上3-8年内如果不能升级成为终身教职的副教授（tenured position），在一般情况下就必须离开这个职位另谋高就，非升即走（up-or-out）。美国的助教Teaching Assistant(TA)

美国大学里的助教(Teaching Assistant)和助理教授（Assistant Professor）是两码事，前者不是正式的教员，可能是主讲教授的PH.D，只是协助教授上课；后者则是属于教授编制，一般也列入晋级终身教授的行列，主讲教授可能只要求助教帮他批改作业最多讲解作业，上上习题课而已，以减少这些工作对教师的压力。

美国的大学教授一般都在自己的名字后面注上学位缩写，以表明自己获得的最高学位，最常见的有以下几种：

Ph.D.，Doctor of Philosophy in XXX, XXX代表的是专业领域 M.D.，Doctor of Medicine医学博士

D.M.D.，Doctor of Dental Medicine，牙医博士

J.D.，Doctor orLaws(Doctor of Jurisprudence)，法律博士 D.B.D.，Doctor of Business Administration，商业管理博士 Ed.D.，Doctor of Education，教育学博士
