准备18季美本申请的小伙伴，这个时候应该在面临一个找老师写推荐信的问题，怎么找老师索要推荐信？如果自己写推荐信，到底该怎么写？下面给大家一些建议。
怎么索要推荐信？
首先，需要注意一点，老师是非常繁忙的。如果全班几十名学生都去找他写推荐信，他根本忙不过来。如果很不幸，老师拒绝给你写推荐信，也请不要丧气。
找老师写推荐信。最好是找你熟悉的老师，最好是找和你大学专业相关科目的老师，最好是找善解人意的老师。此外，越早越好。越晚，找老师索要的学生就越多。
除此之外，你应该以请求的语气而不是要求的语气去找老师。要知道，写推荐信并非老师的义务，因此一定要注意礼仪，否则老师一定会拒绝你的请求。
当老师写完推荐信后，一定要记得感谢。不论是口头还是书面感谢，都是对老师起码的礼仪。
如果你是老师帮你写…
1. 告诉老师你要去一个怎样的学校。
每个学校都对学生的特质、性格有不同的期待和要求。如果你选择的是一个文艺气息浓厚的文理学院，就可以在信中突出自己是一个文艺青年。如果你选择的是一个体育强校，而你自己也非常热爱体育，就可以在文中突出自己的体育细胞。但是写推荐信的人是老师，而不是你自己，因此你需要和你的老师谈一谈，让她知道你要去的学校是什么风格。
2. 给老师提供足够的素材。
写一个小清单，上面写满了你想要的素材。你想让老师写什么，就提供什么素材。比如，如果你想让老师写你是一个课外生活丰富的全面发展的好学生，就着重提供“课外素材”。如果你想让老师写你是一个爱学习的好孩子，就着重提供“课内素材”。换句话说，你想让老师写什么就提供什么方面的素材。
3. 坐下来，谈一谈。
和老师聊聊天，谈谈你的人生理想，谈谈你的兴趣爱好，谈谈你的人生观价值观，让老师对你有一个更全面的认识。
4. 和老师一起追忆往事。
这三年里，有什么事让你和老师记忆犹新？如果你的老师记忆力很好，她自己也很清楚怎么写推荐信，那么可以跳过这一步。但是如果你的老师记忆不怎么好，甚至对你没有太多印象，和她一起追忆往事就显得非常重要。推荐信就像写作文一样，越具体越好，越细节越真实。
5. 留下联系方式。
如果老师没有你的联系方式，记得留下你的QQ/微信/电话号码，这样如果老师有更多问题可以随时联系你。
6. 提醒老师何时提交。
每个学校都对推荐信的提交有不同的要求。有的学校要求纸质书信，有的要求电子邮件，有的要求PDF。所以，请提前问清楚推荐信应该是什么格式，而且要问好应该多久交。记得把这些信息告诉你的老师。不然她自己肯定不知道。
如果你是自己写…
自己写推荐信并非什么罕见的事情，相反这是一件国际惯例。
废话不多说，让我们一起来看看模板A，了解推荐信的标准格式。

Dear Admissions Committee,
I had the pleasure of teaching Sara in her 11th grade honors English class at Mark Twain High School. From the first day of class, Sara impressed me with her ability to be articulate about difficult concepts and texts, her sensitivity to the nuances within literature, and her passion for reading, writing, and creative expression- both in and out of the classroom. Sara is a talented literary critic and poet, and she has my highest recommendation as a student and writer.
Sara is talented at considering the subleties within literature and the purpose behind authors' works. She produced an extraordinary year-long thesis paper on creative identity development, in which she compared works from three different time periods and synthesized cultural and historical perspectives to inform her analysis. When called upon to give her thesis defense in front of her peers, Sara spoke clearly and eloquently about her conclusions and responded to questions in a thoughtful way. Outside of the classroom, Sara is dedicated to her literary pursuits, especially to poetry. She publishes her poetry in our school's literary magazine, as well as in online magazines. She is an insightful, sensitive, and deeply self-aware individual driven to explore art, writing, and a deeper understanding of the human condition.
Throughout the year Sara was an active participant in our discussions, and she always supported her peers. Her caring nature and personality allow her to work well with others in a team setting, as she always respects others' opinions even when they differ from her own. When we held aclass debate about gun laws, Sara opted to speak for the side opposite her own views. She explained her choice as motivated by a desire to put herself in other people's shoes, view the issues from a new perspective, and gain a clearer sense of the issue from all angles. Throughout the year, Sara demonstrated this openness to and empathy for the opinions, feelings, and perspectives of others, along with shrewd powers of observation, all qualities that makes her outstanding as a student of literature and burgeoning writer.
I am certain that Sara is going to continue to do great and creative things in her future. I highly recommend her for admission to your undergraduate program. She is talented, caring, intuitive, dedicated,and focused in her pursuits. Sara consistently seeks out constructive feedback so she can improve her writing skills, which is a rare and impressive quality in a high school student. Sara is truly a stand-out individual who will impress everyone she meets. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at callmeclemens@gmail.com.

Dear Admissions Committee,
It is a great pleasure to recommend Stacy for admission to your engineering program. She is one of the most exceptional students I have encountered in my 15 years of teaching. I taught Stacy in my 11th grade honors physics class and advised her in Robotics Club. I am not surprised to find out she is now ranked at the top of an extraordinarily capable class of seniors. She has a keen interest in and talent for physics, math, and scientific inquiry. Her advanced skills and passion for the subject make her an ideal fit for your rigorous engineering program.
Stacy is a perceptive, sharp, quick individual with a high aptitude for math and science. She is driven to understand how things work, whether they be the old computer hard drives in the school library or the forces that hold our universe together. Her final project in class was especially impressive, an investigation of frequency-dependent sound absorption, an idea that she said was sparked by not wanting to bother her parents with her hours of guitar practice at home. She's been a strong leaderin Robotics Club, eager to share her knowledge with others and learn newskills. I have the students in the club prepare lessons and take turns leading our after-school meetings. When it was Stacy's turn, she showed up prepared with a fascinating lecture on lunar nautics and fun activities that got everyone moving and talking. She was our only student teacher to be met with much deserved applause at the end of her lesson.
Stacy's personal strengths are as impressive as her intellectual accomplishments. She's an active, outgoing presence in class with a great sense of humor. Stacy's the perfect person to get a group project rolling, but she also knows how to sit back and let others take the lead. Her cheerful nature and openness to feedback means she's always learning and growing as a learner, an impressive strength that will continue to serve her well in college and beyond. Stacy is just the kind of driven, engaging, and curious student that helped make our classroom a lively environment and safe place to take intellectual risks.
Stacy has my highest recommendation for admission to your engineering program. She has demonstrated excellence in all that she puts her mind to, whether it's designing an experiment, collaborating with others,or teaching herself to play classical and electrical guitar. Stacy's endless curiosity, combined with her willingness to take risks, leads me to believe there will be no limit to her growth and achievements in college and beyond.Please don't hesitate to contact me at milevafanclub@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Dear Admissions Committee,
It is hard to overstate the meaningful contributions that William has made to our school and surrounding community. As both his 10th and 11th grade History teacher, I've had the pleasure of seeing William make profound contributions both in and out of the classroom. His school and community service is motivated by a strong sense of social justice, which he informs through a nuanced and sophisticated understanding of historical trends and events. I can say with confidence that William is one of the most caring and driven students I've ever taught in my fifteen years at the school.
As a child of immigrant parents, William is especially drawn to understand the immigrant experience. He produced an extraordinary semester-long research paper on the treatment of Japanese-Americans in the U.S. during WWII, in which he went beyond all expectations to conduct Skype interviews with relatives of his featured subjects to incorporate into his paper. William has a great capacity to draw connections between past and present and to ground his understanding of current issues in the context of historical events. He never retreats to a simple answer or explanation, but is comfortable dealing with ambiguity. William's fascination with U.S. and World History and skill for deep analysis have him an exemplary scholar, as a well as a motivated activist driven to promote civil rights and work towards social equity.
In sophomore year, William noticed that the college planning seminars students attended included little information for first generation or immigrant students. Always thinking about how institutions can better serve people, William spoke with counselors and ESL teachers about his ideas to better support all students. He helped collect resources and design a college planning curriculum for immigrant and undocumented students to enhance their college access. He further helped organize a group that connected ESL students with native English speakers, stating his mission to be helping ELLs improve their English and increasing multicultural awareness and social cohesion at the school as a whole. William identified a need and worked with students and faculty alike to meet it in an extremely effective and beneficial way. Ever the history scholar, he did plenty of research to back up his ideas.
William believes passionately in social progress and working for the common good. His own personal experiences, along with his profound grasp on social history, drive his advocacy work. He is a talented,intelligent student with the charisma, confidence, strong values, and respect for others to make a huge difference in the world around him. I'm looking forward to seeing all the good that William continues to do for his fellow humanity in college and beyond, as well as the excellent work that he will produce at the college level. William has my highest recommendation. If you have any questions, please contact me at thethingstheycarried@gmail.com.

Dear Admissions Committee,
It is my pleasure to recommend Joe, who I taught in my 11th grade math class. Joe demonstrated tremendous effort and growth throughout the year and brought a great energy to class. He has that combination of a positive attitude and the belief that he can always improve that's rare in a high school student, but so essential to the learning process. I am confident that he will continue to display the same commitment and diligence in everything he does. I highly recommend Joe for admission to your school.
Joe would not describe himself as a math person.He's told me on several occasions that all the numbers and variables make his mind go fuzzy. Joe did, in fact, struggle to comprehend the material at the beginning of the year, but his response to this is what really struck me. Where so many others have given up, Joe took on this class as a welcome challenge. He stayed after school for extra help, got extra tutoring at the nearby college,and asked questions in and out of class. Due to all his hard work, Joe not only raised his grades, but he also inspired some of his classmates to stay after for extra help, as well. Joe truly demonstrated a growth mindset, and he inspired his peers to adopt that valuable perspective, too. Joe helped contribute to our classroom environment as one where all students can feel supported and able to ask questions.
Joe's strong belief in his ability to acquire new skills and improve through practice was likely shaped by his years as a baseball player. He's played all through high school and is one of the team's most valuable players. In his final for our class, Joe designed an impressive project calculating and analyzing batting averages. While he initially described himself as not a math person, Joe reaped the benefits of his tremendous effort and found a way to make the subject come alive for him in away that he was personally invested in. As a teacher, it is incredibly fulfilling to witness a student make this kind of academic and personal progress.
Joe is a trustworthy, reliable, good-humored student and friend who supports others in and out of the classroom. He was a pleasure to have in class, and his positive attitude and belief in himself, even in the face of difficulty, is an immensely admirable asset. I'm confident that he will continue to demonstrate the same diligence, perseverance, and optimism that he showed myself and his peers. I highly recommend Joe for admission to your undergraduate program. Please feel free to contact me with any furtherquestions at fortheloveofalgebra@gmail.com.

虽然推荐信中的主人公成绩并不高，但是整篇推荐信扬长避短，强调了Joe是一个勤奋的学生。整篇文章洋溢着老师对Joe学习热情的赞美之词，而且通过有细节的事例让招生官相信这是真的。
老师不仅仅是写了Joe学习刻苦，他还从他刻苦学习的事例中看见了他人格中的闪光点。光是学习刻苦并不能够打动招生官，但是优秀性格可以。
优秀性格包括但不限于：不怕挫折、不畏失败、坚持不懈.......

I highly recommend Joe for admission to your undergraduate program. Please feel free to contact me with any furtherquestions at fortheloveofalgebra@gmail.com.

模板E分析：
虽然推荐信中的主人公成绩并不高，但是整篇推荐信扬长避短，强调了Joe是一个勤奋的学生。整篇文章洋溢着老师对Joe学习热情的赞美之词，而且通过有细节的事例让招生官相信这是真的。
老师不仅仅是写了Joe学习刻苦，他还从他刻苦学习的事例中看见了他人格中的闪光点。光是学习刻苦并不能够打动招生官，但是优秀性格可以。
优秀性格包括但不限于：不怕挫折、不畏失败、坚持不懈.......
