8. *As you see the last section of Part D is a section for Personal Essay. The institution provides you with a special plan how to write it. Write your Personal Essay following their instructions concerning the contents and the quanti­ty of words.

9. You are a referee to one of your students. But you don't know how to characterize him/her. Look through the characteristic Mrs. Morrison gave to one of her students. Make up the plan to this characteristic. Use it as a pattern for future work.

I have known Mr. Brown for 5 years as a student at our University.

Mr. Brown is an excellent student in French. He has scientifically oriented mind, a desire to work and master foreign language, and experience in working as a translator/interpreter.

He is gifted and differs from the other students in his preparation for French lessons. His essays, projects on the topics "French Literature in the XIX Century", "Modern French Phonetics", "French Traditions and Customs" made a great impression on me. He is hard­working and organized.

While studying he took part and won the first prize at the competition among the fourth year students in French.

I can also state that comparing him with the other students in our University I came to the conclusion that he has a high intellectual ability. He can solve different problems and tasks himself. Mr. Brown has a quick reaction to changing situations and he is able to find the right solution.

Mr. Brown is perfect in spoken French, French Gram­mar, Phonetics, French Literature.

As far as I know he has been working as an inter­preter at Trade Company EPQ for three years.

Mr. Brown has a great potential to study and to work. He is an initiative student. He helped in orga­nizing a conference at our University on the problems of Post Graduate Courses.

He is highly motivated to pursue his Graduate study and he is serious in achieving his goals. His marks in French were only excellent. He obtained good skills in conducting scientific research.

Mr. Brown has a strong character. He deals with people easily.

It seems to me that Mr. Brown has a big potential and future in the chosen field as a graduate student.
