Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to recommend to you the super ability for learning and critical thinking of Mr. John Smith. I got to know him a few years ago while I was teaching advanced mathematics in an university. His test scores in this subject were always among the top few in the class. But what impressed me most was his strong curiosity and exceptional self-learning ability. During his four years in the university, he had read almost all the books on mathematics in the library. He sometimes asked me for advice when he encountered problems in these books. I would never forget the satisfied smile on his face when he solved the problems. In addition, his extraordinary performance in group discussions also surprised me. He was always good at finding the keys to the problems, and expressing the thinking process very logically so that other students could understand. Now, Mr. Smith is applying to your university for a postgraduate course in mathematics application. I hope you will find he is just as good as I recommend him. And if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Yours faithfully, Mia Jones
