You are a perfectionist and have an incredible drive to succeed. You sometimes seem a bit mysterious at first, but you are loyal friend and people can always rely on you.

Прочитайте отрывок из рекомендательного письма ниже. Кому и от кого дана рекомендация?

I wholeheartedly recommend Michel for admission to your fine university. As his high school music teacher for the past three years, I have had the pleasure of watching Michel grow as a student, a young musician and a person.

He possesses a natural talent for music and is also academically accomplished. In the past, I have had students who either excel at improvisation or who take a more methodical approach to musical performance. Michel is rare in that he possesses both abilities. He intuitively loves music, yes, but he is also has an insatiable curiosity about the "why" and "how" behind it.

Michel is one of a handful of students about whom I have absolutely no reservations in terms of academic and personal success. I hold him in the highest regard, and am positive he will succeed in a university setting.
