<p>So I gave told my science teacher to write me a recommendation letter for this internship and today I got the letter…</p>
<p>I read it. And it sounds extremely “fake”. </p>
<p>IDK. Is recommendation supposed to be this way? Like everything he wrote is TRUE. But It’s TOO positive and really clich</p>
<p>I don’t think you’re supposed to read recommendation letters. Back to question: Yeah, I suppose most of it should be really positive, but it sounds like the teacher does not know you well enough to write a better recommendation than what you read.</p>
<p>I just received one of my recommendation letters to one of my math teachers for a vet internship and my math teacher really juiced it up lol. Yeah, a lot of the things she said are cliche and overly positive lol. But then again, I was one of favorite students, and we have daily conversations. Some recommendation should contain some positive feedback, but the whole letter shouldn’t sound like this:</p>
<p>“He/She is SO great”
“What a pleasure to have him/her in class”
“He/she is determined and never gives up!” &c.</p>
<p>When it gets like this you might want to talk to your teacher and the letter. I told my math and my science teacher to include some bad and good traits about me to help the veterinarian seek my strengths and better my weaknesses.</p>
<p>Well while I was reading it, everything he wrote is true… Like how I am constantly helping peers and coming after class for more help…</p>
<p>The letter didn’t state directly all those cliche statements like ^ said. It had a LOT of positive adjectives and had very bombastic wording</p>
