To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter to highly recommend Sun Yao for admission to the Master’s program in Architecture in your esteemed university. As Sun Yao’s counselor and lecturer for the Architectural Design course, I have known her since the first day of her university life and become very familiar with her abilities and qualities.

Sun Yao is highly proactive in her studies and possesses a strong drive for self-learning and research. She demonstrates remarkable enthusiasm and dedication in my Architectural Design course. When assigned a hospital design task, she displayed a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of hospital design after conducting thorough research on the basic principles, such as emergency and outpatient departments, medical technology buildings, and inpatient areas. Furthermore, she proposed multiple design directions and possibilities while also identifying potential problems associated with each direction. Sun Yao actively engaged in discussions with me, and based on my suggestions, she optimized the medical workflow, adjusted the layout between different departments and functional areas to ensure efficient collaboration between various parts of the hospital, and ensured that the hospital design complied with architectural standards. Her weekly submissions consistently demonstrated significant progress, indicating her efforts and research throughout the week. Besides attending classes and participating in school activities, Sun Yao spends most of her spare time studying in the library. She always completes her assignments promptly and achieves outstanding grades. She has been consistently recognized as an excellent student or a student with excellent academic performance, and has correspondingly received first-class or second-class scholarships.

Additionally, Sun Yao excels in learning new things and is always willing to share her knowledge and assist others. At the time, most course designs were done using Photoshop for typesetting. However, Sun Yao discovered that using Photoshop for group assignments would be complex and difficult to modify in the later stages, and the consistency of layout among group members would be hard to maintain. As a solution, Sun Yao self-taught InDesign, which not only resolved the issues in using Photoshop for typesetting but also improved her own work efficiency. She actively taught other classmates how to use this software, thereby enhancing the productivity of the workshops.

Furthermore, Sun Yao always strives to do her best in everything she undertakes. During the first semester of her freshman year, while serving as the class publicity officer, she found that the chalk’s color expression ability was insufficient. To achieve a more vibrant and long-lasting effect, she creatively used watercolor paints to create bulletin boards. As a result, our class’s bulletin boards received unanimous praise from the college leaders and students. This opportunity allowed Sun Yao to enter the Student Union’s publicity department. From being a staff member of the publicity department to becoming the secretary-general of the Student Union, she has developed strong organizational and leadership skills, as well as a strong sense of collectivism and honor. Through these activities, I discovered that she is not only skilled in communication but also proactive, conscientious, diligent, and possesses strong action-oriented capabilities. Since taking office, she has actively cooperated with various tasks of the school and department and has been repeatedly recognized as an outstanding student leader. Sun Yao enjoys a wide range of interests and has participated in multiple clubs during her time at school, cultivating hobbies, and actively participating in club activities, which have earned her several awards in photography and public speaking competitions.

I have no doubt that Sun Yao’s exceptional qualities and achievements make her a highly deserving candidate for the Master’s program in Architecture. Her initiative, self-drive, and dedication to learning, along with her ability to think critically and collaborate effectively, all contribute to her suitability for undertaking advanced studies in this field. Given her outstanding academic performance and diverse range of extracurricular activities, I am confident that she will excel in a challenging academic environment and contribute significantly to both the program and the field of architecture.
