RECOMMENDATION LETTER
Dear Ms Wise:
I’m writing in response to your May 02 letter requesting a personal reference for Mark Bailey.
I was fortunate enough to have him in my classes. He is a very ambitious and open-minded person who proved many times that has all the characteristics the good teacher should have.
I have heard few of his speeches and observed many of his classroom mikroteaching sessions.
All of them were very well-prepared. Mark always knew how to make students involved in the classes. By using different teaching techniques he could make them in the most dull and difficult topic. His behaviour in the class gave an impression as he was a teacher for many years.
In summary, I recommend Mark Bailey as a teacher of English at your school. If I can offer you additional information, please call.
Sincerely, Dr. Jane Brown
