The referee, Jonathan Gresty, is providing a reference for Denisa, who is applying for a course at the University of Central Lancashire. He has known Denisa for one year through three courses he taught her in the last academic year. Denisa is a very bright and active student who contributes greatly to seminar discussions and tries to take advantage of opportunities to improve her English skills. She is articulate, friendly, and often provides good input to motivate other students. Based on her academic interests in language and strong performance in his classes, Jonathan believes Denisa is an excellent candidate for the course she is applying to.
