Ⅲ.Writing prompt.
Many people say “thank you” by using text messages or in chat these days, but nothing beats writing an old-fashioned thank-you letter. It’s a meaningful way to express gratitude when you received a gift or someone’s thoughtful action.

“Dear ,” “Dearest ,” “Hi, ,” “My friend,,” “To my favourite ,”.

“Without you, I wouldn’t be that I am today.”
3. Let them know why their specific gift is cherished. Show them that this effort, and the gift itself, are important to you.
“You did not have to take the time to mentor and meet with me—most people wouldn’t—but your passion and patience has left an impact on me that I will never wear out.”
4. Let them know you appreciate them one last time. Let them know how much you appreciate their friendship and love.
“Friends like you are the best part of this town, and I’m looking forward to the day we can sit down together and catch up.”
5. Close the letter. Think about the nature of your relationship and choose the closing that seems most appropriate.

B. Your turn
Write a thank-you letter to your parents.
The purpose of the letter.
Examples of your parents’ love and instruction.
Show your gratitude again.

答案
Dear Mom and Dad,
Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. You are the most important people in my life.
I still remember when I had a high fever last month. You took turns staying by my bed, checking my temperature every hour and feeding me medicine. When I felt sad because I didn't get into the school basketball team, you told me, "It's okay to fail, but never give up trying." Your words gave me the courage to practice harder.
Your love and instruction have taught me to be kind and strong. I am so lucky to have you as my parents.
With all my love,
[Your Name]
