Dear Sir or Madam,

I am pleased to recommend Lina Haddad for the BSc in Environmental Science .

I have taught Lina biology for three years and supervised her science fair project.

## Strengths

Lina is curious, organised and generous with classmates. She learns quickly from mistakes and asks excellent questions.

## An example

For her project she measured pollution in the town river for six months, built her own charts and presented to the town council, which later changed where it tests the water.

Top 3% of her year in sciences, captain of the debate team, volunteer at the animal shelter.

## Recommendation

I recommend Lina without reservation for the BSc in Environmental Science . I am confident that Lina Haddad will do well and add real value to your community.
