Recommendation Letter Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing this letter of recommendation for X, my former student. I have known X for three years since her second year at XX University. At that time, she took three courses of mine--"Sociology of Economics", "Sociology on Development" and "Special topics on Sociology of gender", which I taught mainly for students majoring in Sociology. X is a very independent student who always posed thought-provoking questions in my class. During the three years, I am very impressed by the project works done by her team, where she worked as the leader of the group. No matter how randomly the group member comprised or distributed, she will always be selected by the group member to be the leader of the group. X's presentation in my lectures never failed to surprise her audience and their work always ranked top 3 in my class. With her outstanding talent and solid Sociology background, she also did quite well in most other courses during her undergraduate study. By the way, the reason behind her undergraduate scores which looks not so good compared to other applicants is simple to explain--since our school has higher standard and stricter grading system than most other college students, but X's grades ranked top 10% in my class. Throughout the year, X demonstrated this openness to and empathy for the opinions and perspectives of others, along with shrewd powers of observation, all qualities that makes her outstanding as a student of sociology. I firmly believe X will be an asset to any social science program she begins. She has the culturally background and determination to finish any projects that she begins. She always very punctual when scheduling for an advising appointment and showed up with the eagerness to learn and grow as a true role model for all students to look up to, learn from and inspire by. Not only was I struck by X's lucid presentation which expressed clear and logic thought, but also her organized notes and talents on arts. Her expansive and open-minded academic perspectives really struck a chord, so it gives me a great deal of pleasure to give you my recommendation to this outstanding young lady of immense promise. I trust her academic excellence; spirit of devotion and pleasant personality will impress you deeply and warrant your serious consideration of her application. Thus, I recommend her without reservation for her admission and financial aid to your program. Please feel free to contact me if needed. Yours Sincerely,

Should school spend more money on professors' salary in order to improve the education quality? Admittedly, higher salary is a effective and apparent method to encourage university employees and spur them to achiever greater academic achievements for school's honor. However, that's not the most effective method to improve the quality of education, due to there's no supervision for the professor's behaviors.

Finally, to improve the quality of education, several aspects and methods could be considered to negotiate the way, or to say, a rise in professor's salary is not the only solution, and apparently, not the best solution among all of the proposals could be practically adopted by university.

Should school spend more money on professor's salary in order to improve the education quality? All of us agrees that university education is the most important and memorable time in one's life. To improve the quality of education, some universities are considering spend more money on salaries for university professors. In my opinion, My vote is not going for it and couple of reasons will be demonstrated in concrete to bolster the accuracy of my disagreement with this proposal.

Suffice it to say, monetary investment could be not only spent on the encouragement for school employees, but also wisely spent on many other educational purposes. For pure money-oriented, I personally would suggest the university to focus on improvement and development technological equipment or the availability of infrastructure. For example, the idea of amending the students dormitory conditions, or the new educational equipment will be welcomed and accepted for all concerns. In addition, the school can actually measure and see the consequence of the investment they put on if the university spend money on these actual improvements. If you spend money on professor's salary, you can not really tell if they ty to improve the quality of education to meet the initial university's purpose.

Also, a rise of salaries for university professors could make a huge financial burden for university and therefore badly influence the normal schooling process. I am sure there are a huge amount of faculty staff working for the school and thus the expense of salary rising would be an astronomical number. If the finance of school operates improperly, the whole university system will falling apart and result in unintentional tragedy. Not only the staff members hurt, the students hurt more. In that case, none of the normal schooling routine could be done, not mention the improvement of quality of education.

Do you agree that in twenty years there will be fewer cars in use than there are today? Generally speaking, I believe there will be fewer cars running in the street in the near future and cars will be no longer "must-have" items. First of all, these days cars are not the only convenient transportation vehicle while there is a good many of new transportation methods are developing. I study in a university where is quite a distance far from my hometown. Instead of driving day and night, flight or high-speed railway could take me home in a couple of hours, which is much cheaper and comfortable compared with car-driving. Besides, cars are no longer playing the main character in the city life neither. Share-bicycle is very popular now in China, not only just the youth, more and more people fall in love with it. It offers the possibility to have the other alternatives in transportation and even a simper lifestyle. In addition of various options, cars are the main cause of air pollution. More cities in China are suffering from the serious air pollution due to floating particles. We can't sacrifice the environment because of economic development. Environment is part of our life and it matters. Some of my friends always have the same feeling about a discomfort in the throat, especially in the winter time. Due to the bad air quality, the government limited the driving licenses that being issued, and also encouraged citizens to take public vehicles such as subway and bus, which is expected to release the pressure of transportation and amend the environmental quality to some degree. Last but not least, the investment on car is not a small amount of money, the abuse of car leads to a drastic depreciation. Even car itself is no more as expensive as it was before, however the cost of gasoline and the extra maintain service fee is skyrocketing. It is not economic and wise to purchase a car in such circumstance. A friend of my mom bought a car with a huge amount of loan several years ago. However, the depreciation is out of her expectation and she fell into a very awkward situation: she can't not afford a new one. At last she sold the car and got rid of the dilemma. Now she is using the share-bicycle for the daily commutation and she is happy about her new life style. Cars might seem to important for people right now, but with the emerging of all kinds of advanced technology, who knows what would happen in the unpredictable future? Based on the reasons explored above, I have a strong belief that the cars in use will be less than today in twenty years.

Do you agree it is more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends? The pursuit of love and friendship is one of the most desirable wish for us human being. However some of us might get confused about whether we should keep old friends or just to make more new friends. On one hand, old friends are nice and warm; On the other hand, making new friends is exciting too. But from my perspective, I would rather choose to keep my olds friends. People come and go in life, but the right ones always stay. Making new friends could keep you feel refreshed and get in touch with new things that you are not familiar with. However, every old friend was originally new friend in the first place. I believe there must be some reasons for if you could maintain a good relationship. I used to like making new friends like the next person in my age because I love to have some "new blood" in my tedious school life. It was always pleasure when I knew someone new and start to hang out with them. Unfortunately, that was pretty much of it. We don't hang out with each other anymore after one or two times going out together. I believe both of us understood that we are not meant to be good friends. On the contrary, whenever I talk to my old friends, there are always endless topics for us to chit chat, no matter how long we haven't seen each other, no matter how far we are apart from each other. Old friends are always those right ones who stay in your life since they've been examined and permitted by the time. Also, old friends are always the one in your top list to call whenever you want to talk and shared with. Those experiences you been went through together is the most precious memory in the world, and it will not vaporize with time goes by. Most likely, we all have common interests and similar personality. We respect our differences and we appreciate the similarities. When I am sad or frustrated, I always call my old friends. Since there are always some topics you don't want to share with parents, and old friends are the people who understand you the most in this world except parents. I don't even need to form my phrase and start the conversation, sometimes we just keep in silence. But for that moment, for me, the silence overvalued thousand words. Last but not least, keep in touch with old friends is not as easy as pie. Time and all kinds of life niches might take you guys to different location and places. But the bond between us, which keeps us think of each other, will not be erased by time.

"Would you like being deceived ?" "Would you like being deceived ?" When you ask people this question I do believe none of the folk would give you a positive answer, and they might wonder what the question-asker is thinking about. Clearly, no one in this world feels like being tricked or lied to, because it hurts. Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship between people, and it is the fundament of trust. People tends to seek pleasure and eschew pain, but every growth in our life takes pain. As it saying, "No pain, no gain".Admittedly, truth is always painful and that's what we really need to confront and thus it makes people grow more mature. When I was a little girl, my parents always telling me the story of Santa and Christmas, even though every kid in my school scoffed at my innocence. I always argued with those kids and show them the evidence (the presents Santa gave to me). It was my most unforgettable experience in my childhood since I was really embarrassed when everyone in my class accused i was lying. One day after school i ran back to my house and ask my parents what the truth is. We sat down and they told me sorry, because they lied to me, since i was a big girl then, they would like to tell me the truth -- there is no Santa and all the presents i got from Christmas were from them. They just wanted to leave me a warm and pure memory of childhood. At first few years I didn't want to believe it, however i changed my mind with the time goes by. I accepted the truth and i forgave my parents. Although it hurt me in some degrees but i am always being grateful about what they did to me and the way they told me the truth at the end. That's what I really desire and cherish in a good family relationship. No one feels good when they find out the "truth" they've been always believed was a lie therefore it is critical to tell the truth at the first place. Only in that way you don't need to come up with one lie after another in order to makes the first lie plausible. In nowadays society credit is of importance matter filled with our daily life and lying costs more than you could ever think and afford. When you get used to lie, you don't even need extra chance to tell another lie, a bad reputation speaks for you. Academic education are not only meant to develop and polish your skills, score high marks but also to inculcate values, ethics. Being ture to life is one of the most valuable lectures in a lifetime and it endows you a far-reaching influence.

Should shool spend eaqual amount of money for sports and social activities compared to libraries? I believe schools should invest on sports and social activities just as much as they do on classes and libraries. Here are my three main points following to support my suggestion: Primarily, we students adore sports and social activities just like the nest person in the whole world do and it does makes sense. Some scholars and researchers do believe lacking of adequate communication has a tremendous impact on a person's behavior and it reflects on his or her life. Social activities and sports events endow us to obtain more chances for communicate efficiently and thoroughly with each other, which is rare and precious opportunity in the modern society owing to everyone is obsessed with the smart phone, especially we university students. We do need that chance more than anyone else and we do desire a more harmonious environment in reality instead of chit chat online. Also, body-building and fitness is not a harmful thing for human health, particularly for we students who are still budding and growing for greatness. A fairly healthy body state is not only beneficial for our physical figure but also our mental performance, which spur you possess a greater academic rendition and push you to be a eminent versatile all-rounder. The crowed is always enchanted by those who understand what they longing to and not afraid of striking hard for the purpose, since everyone would like to have a good influence source in their life. Last but not least, more sports and social activities involving means you spend more private time with ego which is curial for us human being. Solitude teaches us how to being independent and it gives you an opportunity to feel the life comprehensively. When you know yourself better, you know what you truly want and what you fit in the future life and career.

Travel in August Today I went to Ciqikou, the famous tourist destination in Chongqing. It's so damn crowded and so damn hot. The phone told me the temperature was 28 degrees and obviously it's lying because I felt like 40 degrees. But it started to rain afternoon , then I found I'm the only one who carried umbrella so I was so proud to walking with an umbrella in the street, I felt like a boss and stared at the people who were hiding in the shop and smile , say "what's up". Hahahahahahahahahahahaha , I'm bad. Later , I went to take a ride of Yangtze River cableway , it's a cableway above the river so you could see the best city view on it. Furthermore ,there're so many movies or TV series were took from here ,so it's a quite popular tourist destination in Chongqing . So I was waiting for the crazy long queue and stuck in it for one hour. Such an unforgettable travel memory :) ohhhhh, yeah by the way I want to confess that I hate all the ups and downs in Chongqing city . I checked my apple health app , it shows I climbed 40 floors on the day I arrived in Chongqing , and I climbed 36 floors on the day I went to mount Emei :) Yes you'll feel like climbing a mountain all the time in Chongqing ~ hehehehehehehehe, crazy city with crazy heat. Tomorrow I'll go back to my hometown and start to learn how to play guitar. Love & peace
