I used to work at a technology summer camp, and we had to compose these write-ups for each of the kids in the group at the end of the week, which they would then receive and take home as a keepsake. Usually, these consisted of a bunch of generic sentences, and one to two personalized sentences. I wrote a python script which constructed one of these write-ups out of a bank of canned sentences, and allowed the user to add a couple of personalized sentences in the middle. This saved a huge amount of time for me and other counselors I let in on the secret. Even though so much of it was automated, our write-ups still looked better than many of the 'honest' ones, because we could put more time into the personalized parts.
