Reference

Think about what to put in the reference. what should you not include?

I would not include the first two points, because their information is irrelevant to the reference; the ideas contain personal information which doesn't suit the writing. I doubted wether the third point should be also included or not, but, in my opinion, it can be useful to reinforce some ideas about our "friend's" way of being or so.
I would neither use the informal and colourful language, because in this case, it's not adequate.


Plan the reference by stating the number of paragraphs you will need, what information you will include in each paragraph and how you will end it. Jot down the different ideas for each paragraph and how you will develop them.

I think a good number of paragraphs would be 4.
In the first one, you should tell why you are writing and start introducing your chosen apliant, maybe talking about his/her character.
In the second, you should tel why you like your friend, and talk about your friend's interests and skills, and tell why you think he or she is suitable for the job, as a way of remarking them.
In the third paragraph you should develop your friend's previous experiences: where did he/she work, for how long ....
The last paragraph should be used to sumarize, and to give the last support to your friend.
