Equally impressive is Mr. Song's innovative spirit. During the research, he came up with quite a few valuable and constructive suggestions. I incorporated almost all of his suggestions into the actual research. The effectiveness of those important advices has been fully demonstrated in practice. Another important factor that contributed to his research success is his readiness to cooperate with others. He is adept at interpersonal communications coordination. Consequently, all the problems that occurred in the process were smoothly and speedily worked out.

On the basis of his heretofore prominent performance, I fully believe that Mr. Song is replete with potentials which will enable him to adapt to his future academic environment at your university. With all the excellent research facilities and invaluable instructions by the renowned professors that your university provide,

Yours Faithfully

钱老师手记

本篇P.S.的主人公为国际航班的飞行员，毕业于清华大学机械工程系，申请Aerospace Engineering专业。

在为本篇P.S.设计开头的那几天中，凑巧在我进加油站加油时收音机里面传来了我所需要的主题："只要有在蓝天翱翔的冲动，便绝不会有在地上爬行的欲望"。很快，就查到了Hellen Keller的这句名言，用在这位飞行员身上再贴切也不过。

接下来，整篇P.S.的主线也顺理成章地得以确立，从具体到抽象的层面上，"飞翔--飞越"。所谓飞超，即是放弃目前其优厚的物质条件，而赴美求学，进行更高层次的追求。

此外，本篇P.S.还突出了其作为国际航班有几千小时飞行记录的飞行员的特殊素质：飞遍欧美而形成的对西方文化的亲身了解，高度的责任感与机组的团队协作能力。当然，在专业方面，着重描述了其本科engineering方面的背景，及飞行驾驶方面的学习与工作经历，将Aerospace与engineering有机地结合了起来。

为了增强其人文色彩，结尾处引用了莎士比亚的一句经典名言。没想到这给这位申请者造成了麻烦。他说他得赶快回去通读莎翁的Hamlet原文，以便今后能与其美国导师就该剧进行对话。
