To Whom It May Concern,As a teacher of English, I feel great responsibility to write a letter of recommendation on behalf of Yuliya Semashko, who is one of my best students. I remember Yuliya when she first came to my class at the age of thirteen. At that time she was not very enthusiastic about studying English. But soon she understood the significance of English in modern world and her attitude towards my subject has changed into a great interest.As a teacher I greatly appreciate such an energetic and inquisitive pupil.When she told me her desire to continue the study of foreign languages atuniversity, I expressed full support and encouraged her to work hard for her goal. In my opinion she has an aptitude for linguistics, and I think that she has a great future of a researcher as she shows a remarkable analyst's talent. I know Yuliya as a talented, scrupulous and hardworking person, who isvery responsible in everything that concerns her study. She always finishes her tasks in time. She is active and highly motivated in her work. WhenYuliya was asked to prepare a report on Thomas Hardy's work, she studied more than 70 sources and her report was sent to the Ukrainian Contest forYoung Scientists, where it was awarded a special prize.To sum up, I admit that Yuliya is a bright young lady, determined, open to everything new and positive. With self-pride I recommend Yuliya Semashko as a future student of your university and hope that you will give her your helping hand in her studies.

Sincerely yours,

Anna Skorenko,
