dear sir or madam:
i am xxx, general manager of xxx. learning that an excellent staff member of ours, mr. xxx is intent on further studying abroad, i am much pleased and gratified. in my opinion, such a promising youth striving for progress should receive better education so as to create a brighter future. therefore, it gives me a high honor to strongly recommend this outstanding young man to your world-renowned university.
mr. xxx once did practice in ours in his last academic year at university. though he was not familiar with business and insufficient in working experience, he, instead of admitting defeat, never allowed any opportunity to study to slip away. taking full advantage of leisure time, mr. xxx thumbed through volumes of books regarding business and remitted to other experienced staff members modestly. gradually, he became well versed in various business and obtained certain working results. never satisfied with and proud of his acquisition, mr. xxx still communicated and discussed modestly with his colleagues about some puzzles he encountered in the work till finding out solutions. in light of his praiseworthy performance in the practice, we made an exception to recruit him as a full member of ours after his graduation (we seldom hire those just graduating from universities.
by now, as a business elite of ours, mr. xxx works even seriously, responsibly and diligently, setting a good example to other staff members. every drop of sweat will be repaid. mr. xxx has been appraised as excellent employee of ours and awarded considerable bonus.
to some extent, it may be a great loss of our company that such a superexcellent employee as mr. xxx is going to study abroad. however, in consideration of his prospect, i, without any hesitation, am in great favor of his decision of studying at your reputable university. with great sincerity, i expect that you will support his application fully and grant him an opportunity to uplift himself and realize his dream. thanks a lot.
respectfully yours,
xxx
general manager

XX年暑假,即将步入大四的我不得不为毕业后的出路做打算。我仔细审视了自身的情况:我热爱所学的电影专业,如想从事相关行业,凭现在学历肯定不够,必须考研。经过综合考虑,我最终报考了中国电影资料馆。
由于考本专业,觉得自己很占优势,所以在备考过程中总是不自觉地放松对自己的要求,一个暑假过去了,复习的进度还是没有任何实质的进展。开学后,论文答辩、实习、聚餐……一系列的活动更是让我把备考忘到了九霄云外。一直到10月份,我还没有系统地复习完一轮。
英语是我考研路上最大的拦路虎,我把最后两个月的时间都给了英语,认真复习,踏实准备,不为高分,但求过线。可问题还是出在了这里:因为过度紧张和不自信,考英语的那三个小时,我不停翻着手中的试卷,却无法看清楚一个单词。考完我就知道这次八成没戏了,但心里还是泛着一丝侥幸。
成绩下来了:总分过线,英语仅差一分,我就这样被梦想拒之门外。看着自己优异的专业课成绩,我怎能甘心?明年再战,这是我当时脑中的第一个想法。
转眼大学就要毕业了,看到一些考研失利的朋友纷纷找到工作,我的心里也起了涟漪。是啊,年龄也不小了,怎么好意思大学毕业了还让父母养着?在朋友的劝说下我也投了几份简历,但都没往心里去。正当我收拾行囊准备进京租房子复习的时候,有家4A广告公司给我打来了电话。我感到惊喜万分,这是家含金量很高的公司,在这里工作一年就相当于给自己镀一层金!家里也为此炸开了锅,家长觉得实践最重要,建议我先去工作,朋友说刚出校园,就应该进社会磨练一下自己的心智。迫于各种压力,我选择了参加工作。心里想着即便这样也是可以复习的,不能放弃自己的梦想,工作再辛苦,还是要利用好每天的空闲时间来复习。
在我最初的计划中,每天早起一小时背单词,晚上下班回家后去附近的大学自习到11点,周六日可以像普通考生那样在自习室复习一整天。可是工作的日子远比我想象中要难。且不说工作量的巨大,光每天挤公交上下班就是一件耗时耗神的力气活,每晚下班后8点才到家,自习的计划也化为泡影,而且4A公司经常要求加班,周末的复习时间也不能保证了。
考研的决心已经消磨殆尽,零零散散地看书、做题,根本没有任何效果,以这样的状态去,结果只能比“一战”更糟。休息日去高校上自习,看着周围全力以赴的应届生,我的心中满是羡慕。也想过辞职全身心备考,但来自各方的压力让我不敢孤注一掷。当努力学习却学不进的时候,心里满是酸涩,我同情我的梦想,也许一切也就只能到此了,在无数个加班的夜晚我都动了放弃的念头。
XX年的考研报名,我没敢参加。转眼一年过去了,我虽然不甘心,却无力改变,我甚至不敢跟任何人再提起考研的事情,害怕得到的回应是质疑,是反对。心里没有任何期待的感觉好可怕,整个人犹如平静的死海,每天麻木的工作、生活,没有激情和动力。
XX年10月底,考研报名截止日前的最后两天,我在网上认识了已经报名的林林。他报考的正是我一战失利时报考的资料馆,这一次他也是“二战”。林林对电影的痴迷始于大学,他在校期间参加了很多DV短片的拍摄,大四那年决定从原本的计算机专业跨考到电影学。由于跨校跨专业,一战的结果还是以失败告终。虽然如此,林林从来没有放弃他的电影梦,在接下来的一年里,他一边工作一边复习,父母的不支持、女友的不理解都成了他路上的极大障碍。报名前不久,女友终于支撑不住同他分手。面对这种变故,林林消沉了几天,但很快他就从伤痛中走出来,打起精神继续投入复习中,他说志同道合的女朋友可以再找,但机会错过可就永失梦想了。他的执着唤起了我内心深处的那个久远的想法,禁不住向他袒露了自己工作和生活的压力,谈到了前一年的放弃,也表达了自己对是否要参加2013年研考的犹豫。听完我半是尴尬半是无助的倾诉,他只说了一句话:“当你知道自己想要什么,全世界都会为你让路,你不去试试,永远没有机会知道自己行不行!”
永远没有机会!我以为自己快要淡忘了,可这几个字还是戳痛了我久藏于心的禁忌。林林的话带给我极大的鼓舞,我开始清晰地意识到,如果就此放弃,我这辈子可能都不会再有机会接近我的电影梦了。当晚我翻出了已经封存打包的.专业书和笔记,一页一页地看:那些红笔画下的痕迹,那些重点篇章的折痕,还有那些吃饭时滴落的油渍……曾经的考研岁月一点一滴地在我的心底铺展开来,谁都知道我喜欢每天晚上站在走廊里背书,冻得手脚冰凉、浑身发抖却依旧大声背诵着《中国电影史》;谁都知道我是自习室里最乐观的那个考生,总是在安慰着那些处于紧张焦虑中的战友;谁都知道我不爱去食堂吃饭,其实那是因为我总是把一天的饭带足,边吃边背知识点;谁都知道我最喜欢没心没肺的大笑,似乎我总是在快乐考研,没有压力,其实谁也不知道我在考研结束以后,连着三天都做了同样的梦:我面对一份试卷,上面没有一道题是我见过的。我愤书疾笔,一边答题一边流泪,一如现在,心中满满的全是绝望与不甘……那一刻,我感到全身的血液在澎湃地翻涌,肩膀在不能自已地颤抖着。我明白,我在承受梦想的责备。
听着《最初的梦想》,那句“最想要去的地方,怎么能在半路就返航”在耳畔久久回荡,在那个微凉的夜,我噙着热泪完成了XX年研考的网上报名。天一亮,我努力睁开着红肿的眼睛去公司辞了职。回来的路上,我终于可以畅快淋漓地放声大笑,我从来没有那么清醒、坚定过,梦想就如同那颗最甜的樱桃,触手可及。
考研是一场孤独和绝望的旅程,光有不服输的信念和孤注一掷的勇气是不够的。等我完成工作的交接,生活费与房租的分配,还有各种杂七杂八事情的处理,一切安排就绪已经到了11月下旬。由于只剩一个多月的时间准备考研了,整个12月,我几乎做到了拼命的极限。
在这个月里,我喝掉了2箱红牛,3箱六个核桃,4盒咖啡,平均每天睡三四个小时。每天天不亮就会爬起来,由于担心睡眠不足会犯困,起床后就先灌上一瓶红牛和两包咖啡,上午背一上午专业课,午休的时间从来舍不得去睡,基本都是边吃饭边做政治模拟题,一到下午两点,我就按照考研英语的时间去模考,在红牛和咖啡的帮助下强打起精神来做英语真题,等复习到晚上12点有些困意了,就再拿咖啡顶着,一直坚持到凌晨两三点。这么坚持到后半期,我已经胃痛到夜里睡不着觉了。由于时间紧迫,我有三分之一的时间都浪费在自我怀疑上了,每天都会崩溃到流泪,每天都有那么一会儿实在坚持不下去。很多时候,我强打起精神看书,大声朗读着讲义笔记,恐惧的泪水却在不知不觉间布满整个脸庞。最终平复我内心那份焦虑的还是我对梦想的笃定,为梦想花光几乎是最后一丝力气的那一刻,我的内心却出奇地平静,我知道她要来了。
初试、复试、录取,真正重返考场,日子竟这么轻描淡写地过来了。天道酬勤,水到渠成,我从未想到梦想的实现竟可以如此云淡风轻,我也永远不会忘记那段后学生时代尴尬、犹疑、艰苦的考研往事。

1967年,“新好莱坞电影”的出现,使更多贴近现实生活和年轻人思想感情的电影出现。在这个变革中,达斯廷·霍夫曼的成名作《毕业生》是一部举足轻重的代表作。这部大胆揭露六十年代年轻人迷失方向,揭开美式中产阶级虚伪面具的电影,向我们表露了新的一代人,新的一代的价值观,成为“新好莱坞电影”的先锋之作。
本片描述了一个刚步出大学校门的社会新鲜人本恩,面对众人口中所谓的美好前程,自己却对未来生活感到茫然。而父母对本恩的一生充满了期望,一切都似乎已经安排好了:入读大学、进入研究所、成为中产阶级、和一个家境相当的女人结婚。最要命的是,这种期望已经无可厚非。作为孩子,他明白父母是善意的,这些期望都是为了他好,对于一些人来说这或许是最完美的人生规划,但对于他来说,只能让他更为困惑与悲哀。在家庭晚会来客中的鲁宾逊太太对这个小伙子很感兴趣,并让本恩开车送她回家。风流的夫人不断挑逗本恩,但被拒绝。可是接下来无聊的日子加之自己对未来的迷茫,不久后他便开始了同鲁宾逊太太约会,不知不觉中他也爱上了鲁宾逊太太的女儿伊莱恩。 鲁宾逊太太知道真相后坚决反对,并想尽办法拆散两人的交往。本恩终于找到机会向伊莱恩表白了爱意,并坦诚了自己曾经的堕落,只是没说出那个夫人的名字。 伊莱恩原谅了他,但鲁宾逊太太的震怒使伊莱恩猜到了一切。伤心的她在父母的精心设计下与一个叫卡尔的人仓促结婚。本恩得知这一消息,不顾一切,费尽千辛万苦奔向了教堂,他要尽最后力量挽回心爱的人。最后镜头停止跟随在车后,静静地看着汽车远离,给人很微妙的感觉,为观众留下了无限的想象与憧憬。
作为观众,我们可以无限的想象,也许是对青春的伤逝吧,导演为表现毕业生的迷茫与无助,特意插入让本恩穿上潜水服一步一步的往游泳池走去的镜头。从潜水服里只能看到外面的人在欢笑却听不到他们的声音。在本恩的世界里,只能听见自己急促的呼吸声,迷茫麻木的内心使得所有人的脸都是缓慢的,扭曲的,静止的。这可以是本恩的内心独白,或是本恩对外界极其厌恶的一种表现。在每一个刚刚踏入社会的人的眼中,所有恶意或善意的忠告与借鉴,都将被隔离出他们的世界。潜水服似乎是本恩的保护罩,匆匆潜入水中,就是他急切想摆脱一切世俗的反应。呼吸声,遮盖住世间喧哗,但是抵挡不住外界对他的影响与制约。父亲一次又一次把他按入水中,似乎在暗示着你应该按着我给你规划好的一切走每一步,你永远是我手中的一颗小小的旗子!无奈的.他似乎也只有默默的沉入水底,等待着一切。当本恩在酒店为嬉闹喧哗的各类上流人士开门,看着他们漠视的只顾自己沉迷的脸,他才明白自己的未来在何处。本恩虽然优秀,然而走出学校依然对未来充满了迷茫,还为此成为了父亲合伙人的老婆的情人。直到他遇见了伊莱恩,才看到了自己盼望已久的生活,他才不再为此迷茫下去,不顾别人的冷嘲热讽,甚至是爱的人的父母的威逼,依然不放弃,最终赢得了自己的爱情。可以说这部电影介于悲剧与喜剧结局之间,表现的不仅是美国迷茫的一代人的生活,还有通过自己的努力而换来成功的喜悦。
影片里有太多关于大人们和本恩的矛盾与冲突,但本恩开始只是想要逃避。对于他来说,逃避这一切,也许就能远离那些虚假的微笑和不现实的世界,可是难道我们就必须现实,现实得没有自我、没有反抗、没有自己的世界吗?在该拒绝的时候为什么要接受,在该反抗的时候为什么要忍受。大部分的我们已经在岁月里丧失了对童话的幻想,已经丢失了对未来美好的憧憬。但是我们偶尔还会留有对现实的反抗与一丝丝幻想。本恩从温文尔雅,到出言不逊;从西装革履,到衣衫褴褛;从乖巧听话,到我行我素。他打破了一切父辈们引以为傲的形式主义的生活标准,而去追求心灵交会的巅峰体验。伊莱恩是他在爱情中的转折,同时也
是他整个命运的转折。在她这里,他找到了前进的方向与动力。其实这也告诫了我们,对于所有将要踏上社会的年轻人来说,在迷茫阶段的指引忠告往往是起不到作用的,关键是要让我们自己揭开社会神秘的面纱,自己寻找生命的真谛,发现生活的奥秘。我们可以迷茫,但是不要迷失了自己。不要成为生活的傀儡,学会发现生活,感受生活,那么才能让自己的舞台更加绚丽!
