This letter is to serve as my recommendation for Mr. Yang Jiangjin. He came to my course The Introduction of Sociology with a lot of interest and motivation, completed approximately 54 hours of work directly related to Sociology and proved himself to be an excellent student. He was always present at all my courses, stayed focused and concentrated during the lessons and listened attentively.

In my class, Mr. Yang Jiangjin tended to think outside the box and displayed his critical thinking skills. We often discussed some hot topics like political reform, human right, sustainable development and so on, he not only showed concern for these issues but also liked challenging the consensus and expressing his own opinion, he knew how to make use of information and he was able to deduce conclusions logically from what he had already known. In particular, it came to my notice that he possessed a talent for getting the whole class actively participated in a heated discussion or debate.

I was deeply impressed by his quick absorption of new knowledge and strong self-study ability. For beginners in sociology, I gave them an extensive reading list of 15 books. Although it is not compulsory, with a craving for new knowledge, he read almost all of these reference books and always came up with some brilliant ideas after reading. His devotion and enthusiasm, together with his diligence, enable him to stand out in the class.Moreover, because of his intense interest in Sociology, I encourage him to continue to learn more about research methodology to acquire sufficient knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods. Then he selected Applied Statistics and Business Research to study in Business School. One area he could continue to work on is creating more opportunities to apply that knowledge to practice.

I am deeply convinced that Mr. Yang Jiangjin’s determination and outstanding performance have qualified him to pursue further study as a postgraduate student in your university. If you have any further questions regarding this recommendation, please feel free to contact me.
