Dear Mr Wu,
I am writing to recommend Amy for the position of English class representative. I believe she has all of the qualities for the role.
First, Amy has excellent communication skills. She not only knows how to express herself clearly in English, but is also good at listening to others. She often helps her classmates with difficult English problems and always encourages shy students to speak up in class. What's more, Amy is very helpful and hard-working. She spends a lot of time helping with our English group projects and never misses a chance to practice with her classmates.
Amy has many other good qualities. She is creative. Recently, she came up with some new ways to make our English corner more fun and interesting. Amy is confident too. She is never afraid to voice her ideas and thinks she can do things well if she tries her best. Her personality is perfect for this position because she is patient, friendly and always ready to help others.
For all of these reasons, I believe that Amy is the right choice for English class representative. I hope that you will consider her for this position.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
