我会先通读全文，再分别检查语法、措辞自然度、推荐信逻辑与事实表达，并给出可直接替换的修改建议。

整体来看，这封推荐信没有严重的语法错误，结构也比较清晰，但有一些表达不够地道、个别逻辑跳跃，以及略显夸张或像直译的措辞。建议重点修改以下几处。

一、主要语法和表达问题

1. “apply for your postgraduate degree”不自然

原文：

Xinyue Chen’s decision to apply for your postgraduate degree

学校通常不会说“申请贵校的学位”，而是：

apply for admission to your postgraduate programme
apply for a place in your master’s programme

建议改为：

I am writing to express my sincere support for Xinyue Chen’s application to your postgraduate programme.

2. “instruct her in courses”不如“teach her”自然

原文：

I continued to instruct her in courses such as Market Research and Consumer Behavior.

“instruct her in courses”语法上不算错，但推荐信中较生硬。建议：

I subsequently taught her in courses such as Market Research and Consumer Behavior.

3. 存在逗号拼接错误

原文：

Recently, I served as Xinyue’s graduation thesis supervisor, under my supervision, she produced outstanding results and showed remarkable abilities...

这里用两个逗号连接了多个完整句子，属于典型的 comma splice。同时，“graduation thesis supervisor”以及“produced outstanding results”可能造成逻辑问题：如果论文还没有完成，不宜说已经取得了论文成果。

建议根据真实情况二选一：

如果论文已经完成：

More recently, I supervised Xinyue’s undergraduate dissertation, through which she demonstrated a strong academic foundation, excellent research skills, and valuable transferable skills such as problem-solving and project management.

如果论文尚未完成：

More recently, I have been supervising Xinyue’s undergraduate dissertation. During this process, she has demonstrated a strong academic foundation, excellent research skills, and valuable transferable skills such as problem-solving and project management.

4. “academic foundation”不能很好地与“abilities”并列

原文：

showed remarkable abilities in academic foundation, research skills, alongside soft skills

“academic foundation”不是一种 ability，且“alongside”结构也不平衡。建议改为：

demonstrated a strong academic foundation, excellent research skills, and valuable transferable skills such as problem-solving and project management

另外，management比较宽泛。如果指团队管理，可以写：

team management

5. “With honesty”不自然

原文：

With honesty, I hope my assessment of Xinyue will be of help in your consideration of her admission.

这是明显的中式表达。可以改为：

I hope that my assessment of Xinyue will assist you in evaluating her application.

或者更正式：

I am confident that my assessment of Xinyue will be helpful in your consideration of her application.

6. “during brainstorming”应加冠词或改为更自然的表达

原文：

during brainstorming

建议：

during brainstorming sessions

7. “scattered concepts”略显负面

原文：

She then expertly synthesized these scattered concepts

“scattered”可能让人感觉团队成员提出的想法杂乱、质量不高。更自然的是：

She then expertly synthesized these diverse ideas

8. “proving”使用过多，且论证略显夸张

原文中多次出现：

proving Xinyue’s ability...
proving her full readiness...

推荐信中反复使用“proving”会显得结论过度。可以替换为：

demonstrating
highlighting
reflecting
showing

此外，仅凭一次头脑风暴活动就直接说她“drive project efficiency”，逻辑上稍微跳跃。可以弱化为：

helping the team develop innovative and feasible proposals efficiently.

9. “dual-intermediary path model”不够地道

原文：

proposed a dual-intermediary path model

如果你的研究方法是两个中介变量同时发挥作用，更常用：

a parallel mediation model

如果确实是前后相继的链式中介，则应写：

a serial mediation model

因此需要确认研究设计。不要在“parallel mediation”和“serial mediation”之间混用。

10. “acceptance willingness”是明显不自然的搭配

原文：

acceptance willingness of native ads

建议改为：

willingness to accept native advertising

标题可以写成：

Research on the Impact of Community Identification on Willingness to Accept Native Advertising in Chat-Based Podcasts

另外，“native advertising”通常比“native ads”更适合学术标题。

11. “chat-type podcast listeners”建议改为“listeners of chat-based podcasts”

原文：

among chat-type podcast listeners

“chat-type podcast”不够自然。建议：

among listeners of chat-based podcasts

如果该类型在你的研究中有明确的正式名称，也可以使用：

chat-based podcast audiences

12. “solidified her research direction”略生硬

原文：

she solidified her research direction

建议：

she further refined her research focus

13. “full readiness for master’s-level research”过于绝对

原文：

proving her full readiness for master’s-level research

建议改为更稳妥的：

demonstrating her strong potential for master’s-level research

或者：

indicating that she is well prepared to undertake postgraduate-level research.

14. 结尾部分有重复和不自然表达

原文：

her capabilities make her well qualified for postgraduate level study. Hence, I am keen on offering my affirmation in support of her application

问题包括：

“postgraduate level”应加连字符：postgraduate-level study
“offering my affirmation”不自然
前后“support”重复
“extraordinary intelligence”略显夸张，也不如“intellectual ability”正式

建议改为：

In light of Xinyue’s strong academic potential, intellectual ability, and research experience, I consider her well qualified for postgraduate study. I therefore recommend her application without reservation and am confident that she will make a valuable contribution to your programme.

不过，without reservation语气很强，只有推荐人确实愿意无保留推荐时使用。

二、逻辑方面需要确认的内容

1. 论文状态需要统一

目前文章同时出现：

“I served as Xinyue’s graduation thesis supervisor”
“she produced outstanding results”
“Following a successful proposal defense”
“she solidified her research direction”

这看起来像论文仍处于开题或研究设计阶段，但前文又像论文已经完成。建议明确为以下之一：

如果只是完成开题：

I have been supervising Xinyue’s undergraduate dissertation. Following a successful proposal defense, she refined her research focus and developed a clear empirical research design.

如果论文已经完成：

I supervised Xinyue’s undergraduate dissertation, in which she investigated... Her successful completion of the project demonstrated...

不要在论文尚未完成时写“produced outstanding results”或“full readiness”。

2. “seven hypotheses”最好确认是否确实为七个

原文：

verify seven hypotheses and compare mediation effects

如果论文确实提出七个假设，可以保留。但如果只是计划检验七条路径或关系，建议写：

test the study’s hypotheses and examine the mediating effects

这样更加稳妥，也避免招生委员会过度追问研究细节。

3. “compare mediation effects”需要更准确

如果是比较两个中介变量的相对中介效应，可以写：

compare the relative strengths of the indirect effects

如果是比较不同模型，则写：

compare the indirect effects across the proposed mediation pathways

4. 推荐人与申请人的关系可以更明确

现在第一段说明了课程和论文指导关系，这一点很好。不过可以增加指导时间或接触程度，例如：

I have known Xinyue for approximately two years, first as her lecturer and later as her dissertation supervisor.

前提是时间真实。这样能增强推荐信的可信度。

三、建议修改后的完整版本

下面是一版在不改变核心事实的前提下，语法和逻辑更自然的版本。论文部分我按照“目前已完成开题、仍在研究中”的逻辑处理。

Letter of Recommendation

20 September 2026

Dear Members of the Admissions Committee,

I am writing to express my strong support for Xinyue Chen’s application to your postgraduate programme. I first came to know Xinyue as a student in my Advertising Creativity course. I subsequently taught her in courses including Market Research and Consumer Behavior. More recently, I have been supervising her undergraduate dissertation. Through these interactions, I have come to appreciate her strong academic foundation, excellent research skills, and valuable transferable abilities, including problem-solving and project management. I am therefore pleased to recommend her for postgraduate study.

Xinyue has demonstrated exceptional ability in inclusive leadership and in fostering creativity within a team. For example, during brainstorming sessions, she welcomed unconventional ideas rather than dismissing them prematurely. By creating a psychologically safe environment, she encouraged team members to express their views freely and creatively. She then expertly synthesized these diverse ideas, connecting unconventional perspectives with practical marketing considerations. Her guidance helped the team transform a range of viewpoints into innovative yet feasible proposals, demonstrating her ability to bring out the best in others and guide collaborative work effectively.

Above all, I have been particularly impressed by Xinyue’s research ability. In her undergraduate dissertation, she proposed a mediation model to investigate how community identification influences listeners’ willingness to accept native advertising in chat-based podcasts, with emotional energy and perceived credibility serving as mediating variables. Using SPSS and AMOS, she carefully designed the statistical analyses required to test the study’s hypotheses and examine the indirect effects. Following a successful dissertation proposal defense, she further refined her research focus, entitled “Research on the Impact of Community Identification on Willingness to Accept Native Advertising in Chat-Based Podcasts.” Throughout this process, Xinyue has demonstrated strong academic sensitivity, the ability to conduct an independent literature review, and a rigorous approach to empirical research. These qualities indicate her strong potential for postgraduate-level study and research.

In light of Xinyue’s strong academic potential, intellectual ability, and research experience, I consider her well qualified for postgraduate study. I am confident that she will make a positive contribution to your programme and benefit greatly from the academic opportunities it offers. I therefore recommend her application with confidence. Should you require any further information, please feel free to contact me by email.

Yours faithfully,

Xinling Chen
Lecturer

四、几个提交前的小细节

日期格式建议统一为 20 September 2026，比 20th September 2026更正式简洁。
如果申请的是硕士，建议直接写 master’s programme，不要泛泛写 postgraduate programme。
Miss Xinyue Chen可以改为直接使用 Xinyue Chen，更符合英文推荐信习惯。
programme与program要根据申请国家统一：
- 英国、澳大利亚、新加坡通常使用 programme
- 美国通常使用 program
如果推荐人确实是论文指导老师，建议在签名处增加：

Dissertation Supervisor

但前提是这符合学校和推荐人的正式身份。
