    Letters of recommendation for graduate schools in the U.S.

    Last year, a former student of ours, who is currently studying physics at an American university, asked us to write a Letter of Recommendation for a graduate school of his choice.

    He had attended an international elementary school in Kisarazu after spending his childhood in a foreign country, and was confused by the environment in which he was taught in English at school but in Japanese at cram school. He was confused and had trouble keeping up with the classes. His parents, who were distressed, heard about our school and came to us for consultation.

    At the time, the school was using American textbooks, but this kind of problem occurs not only because of the language, but also because the way classes are taught and the way problems are tackled are different from those in Japan. Here, I taught math, science, and English using basic English. He was particularly interested in science at the time, and we would often mix English and Japanese during recess to talk about the science subjects he was interested in.

    I tutored him through the third grade of junior high school, and he was able to understand mathematics well, which he had initially struggled with. In high school, his interest in physics finally deepened, and he was accepted to an American university as a physics major. He wanted to go on to graduate school in physics, so I gladly accepted his request for a letter of recommendation.

    A letter of recommendation in English, however, is something I have only written once when an acquaintance of mine applied for a job while living in Canada, but this is the first time for me to write such a formal one. I wrote a lot of rhetoric, mixed in old stories, and told him how he would be a good candidate for the graduate school he wanted to apply to. In the meantime, he received a series of emails from several graduate schools to which he had applied. All of them were in a similar format, with a form linked to the email. First, questions about my work. Then I was asked to rate him on a scale of 5-6 based on how long I have known him and various questions about his qualifications, and finally to attach a letter of recommendation.

    Here is an email from the MIT graduate school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

    There are other students from our department studying at American universities, but he is the first one to go to graduate school. Thanks to him, I have gained valuable experience as well.
    I wish him luck in getting into the graduate school of his choice.

    Graduation ceremony #2

    This is the graduation ceremony of a university in Canada two years ago (2022 ), part 2.

    <卒業式本番>
    After the guests are seated, the graduates finally enter from the back of the auditorium and take their seats in front of the stage. Then the teachers, dressed in gowns designed in the colors of their respective specialties, and the high achievers enter and take their places on stage. After the school song, the president and guests give speeches, and awards are given to outstanding students. The president of the university gives this speech four times a day for a total of 28 times, which is a lot of work. My daughter was the first one on the afternoon of the second day, or the seventh one in total. At that time, I already felt that the president's voice was a little dry, but she had a cold the following week and was having a hard time. After the awards, the graduates were called up one by one to the stage for a commemorative photo with the president. When their names were called, they were greeted with cheers from family and friends. The names of the graduates come from all over the world, so it is very difficult for the person who reads them out. They may have practiced how to read the names beforehand, but there were many times when they had to restate names that were not from English-speaking countries, and my daughter was one of them.

    After the graduation ceremony, people gather in the plaza up the stairs from the Chan Center or in the adjacent rose garden to take pictures and videos. It was still early in the season for roses, but the garden was beautifully maintained. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, but I could see West Vancouver through the garden.

    After spending time with family and friends, the alumni headed to a reception at the alumni building. UBC has students and faculty from all over the world, and the Alumni Association seems to be active across the globe, with chapters in 37 cities in 30 countries. In English, alumni associations or alumnae are called alumni.
