Dear Sir or Madam,

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Ms. Audrey Dorval to attend your English program. For three years, Ms. Dorval was a student in my English grammar and conversation class.

Ms. Dorval was an outstanding student. Her interest to learn the English language allowed her to develop her English skills and earn high scores on the exams. She was always enthusiastic about discussing various subjects pertaining to foreign cultures and voicing her opinions about current events.

Ms. Dorval was an active member of the International Exchange & Culture Club. She took on leadership roles by organizing events and challenged her fellow students by raising interesting questions and making intelligent comments. Ms. Dorval was an impressive student, always active in events and curious about her projects.

She hopes to develop and improve her English skills at your school in order to prepare herself to attend college in the United States. I am confident she is qualified to attend your program and will succeed in her English studies. It is without reservation that I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Audrey Dorval to attend your reputable program.

Yours Sincerely,
