ones.
其他的话还有
XX successfully investigated the role of。。。。（研究的介绍）
XX clearly did very well in his research。。。。
XX used his intelligence and diligence to build up a broad knowledge in the
broad area of。。。。. He is self-motivated to succeed in
he was generally fairly quiet but would sometimes ask insightful and
constructive questions。（Lab Meeting上一般会简短的问1，2个问题）
He has a natural easy-going personality。。。
XX has the has the capacity to grow into an outstanding scientist （我原句是

It is a fairly good letter. BTW, if your PI is in USA, it is unlikely that
you can see the letter. Normally, the RL for job searching including postdoc
application is kept confidential.

我倒觉得能看的更加合理，Google上也说推荐信要么就是总体Positive的，要么就拒绝
写，推荐信这玩意儿太个人化了，以前隔壁一年轻的老美把他的Postdoc写成只是个
Technician，问题是他压根儿没给人家独立想的机会，还以为自己想的多牛，结果也没
Tenure上，最后离开Bench Work，找了个文书类的工作。说起来他的出生真的很牛，
PHD， Postdoc的老板都是大家知道的

Just my 2cents.
估计你是美国的Ph.D., 既然你是要找postdoc的，仅从你提到的几点看，你写的草稿基
本上算不上是很强。如果我是你未来的Postdoc mentor, 前两条关于你的research的，
我更倾向于看你的publication以及你是不是在专业的meeting上present过你的结果(
better not a poster)。后面几条太笼统，如果能有具体事例就会很好。
如果能够在他/她的信里提到你的一些可以让你在postdoc阶段成为independent
researcher，而不是technician的潜质不知道会不会更好？不要写那些浮夸的词，只能
适得其反。最好
是有一到两个具体事例，尤其是你面对你的课题是如何独立分析，如何独立入手，遇到
了哪些困难以及如何独立解决的等等。你让老板提到的team player这一点很重要。你
要是有grant proposal的经历也尽量让你老板写上。

"he was generally fairly quiet but would sometimes ask insightful and
constructive questions".
"generally fairly quiet" = always quiet
"sometimes asks" = "rarely asks"
