Hello! I dare to ask somebody to check this translation of LOR . Thank you.

I have known XXXXXX since 2007 when I was a head of her course Design of Architectural Environment until the end of this course. Also I was her project adviser during working on her final year project Design concept of International Center of Marine Ecoturism.

Being a student, she devoted a lot of time to research work in the field of ecological architecture and what was reflected in the university publications of 2008 and Lomonosov Moscow State University publications on the topic Renewable Sources of Energy of 2008 and 2010 years. XXXXXX works hard, starts course projects with big enthusiasm and performs it perfectly with excellent grades. She always tries to apply the cutting-edge technologies in her projects by using the additional materials, which she studied by her own. She was a first student in the group, who started to use computer 3D modeling for project representations compare to traditional handmade performing. She always tries to be aware about latest trends in architecture, hence her projects looks very contemporary and interesting, as well as futuristic. In her projects she responses to the environmental demands, challenges herself widely applying the green technologies in her buildings and finds original solutions. While she often experiments with forms and functions of object lifting it to the air or moving to the sea surface, she also rethinks the conventional methods of constructing specific for particular region and climate, such she did it at the project of Blocked Houses on Russian Islands. Eventually XXXXXX has participated in the regional exhibitions, has won awards. Also she has an experience to being laureate of international workshop Acapulco Green Tower in Mexico.

Sometimes XXXXXX chose not the most rational methods of design, deepening into the details of educational tasks, which resulted to a breach of terms of delivery of the project.

According to the efforts XXXXXX put into creating the projects, diligent work and zeal, she is one of the best students in the course and she is able to do a successful career as an architect. I think that XXXXXX will be a good continuation of her creative way. Based on my experience working with XXXXXX and her achievements, which speak for itself, I highly recommend XXXXXX as a candidate for your M.Arch program. She is hard working, highly creative and eager to learn and would make a great asset to any academic program.

Thank you very much, dear Dumi! now it sounds much better!

about the last sentence:
I dont understand this;
Also she has an experience to being laureate of international workshop Acapulco Green Tower in Mexico


Is it better to write mere "Also she was a laureate of international workshop Acapulco Green Tower in Mexico"?

In this case I ment the student's drowbacks.
Or don't quite understandwhat do they mean by "What are the applicant's principal challenges?"

If it is a letter of recommendation, it's better if you dont talk about the student's drawbacks. As for challenges, you can talk about the financing difficulties, balancing family life with studies etc. that are not her weaknesses but are challenges she has to take up to follow the course.
