aspirations
Denisa is a very bright and active student who contributes a lot to seminars and tries to take advantage of every
opportunity she has to practise and improve her English. Last year I taught her courses in Academic Writing, British
Institutions and Conversation and was delighted to have her in my lessons. Articulate, friendly and almost
always able to give good input in discussions, she became a kind of role model for others in the class
motivating them to contribute more than they may otherwise have done.
Her academic interests are primarily language-orientated. She is especially fond of British English and takes pride in
speaking well and in writing coherent and grammatical compositions. Based on this and on my experience of teaching
her, I would say that she is an excellent candidate for the course she is applying for at your institution.
