我想问个很傻的问题，学校让推荐信里要写weakness，能不写吗

求问大牛google出来的一段话搞的我很虚
Most recommenders either ignore weaknesses altogether (“If Andre has any weaknesses I haven’t encountered them”) or recast virtues as vices (“perfectionist,” “works too hard”). Both approaches fail because they’re hard to believe and because too many other recommenders use them. Unless a school’s recommendation form insists that your recommender discuss a personal weakness, a much safer approach is to focus on skill-specific or professional/functional weaknesses. In any event, if the weakness your recommender is considering is (a) not an obvious vice or character flaw (e.g., bigotry), (b) doesn’t routinely impede your effectiveness, (c) can be rectified, and (d) may in fact be a function of your age (i.e., maturity related) then it will not damage your admission chances. Remember to anchor the weakness section with a brief example. And, remember, your recommender shouldn’t say you’ve addressed your weakness—that means it’s no longer a weakness! It’s OK to be “working on it.”

就算要写也要写你以前有什么weakness。。然后你克服了它。。。。

可以写 说自己能怎么克服它就行了

泾渭不凡

姐，如果要写，还是表写"学习/工作太专注，不注意身体"。。。要相信我。。。

要有技巧的写，当然不写应该也无所谓

可以写你的weakness，然后这个weakness刚好是需要你去这个学校读这个program才能帮助你弥补这个弱点，这样就好啦。
