Dear Mr.Green,
I am writing the letter for the purpose of extending my sinceregratitude to you for your kindness.
When I was being interviewed yesterday, I felt so nervous as to be at aloss for words. But your timely encouragement calmed me down and filled me withenough confidence. Then I was acclaimed by all interviewers for my wonderfulanswers and things ended up smoothly. But for your help, however, I might havebeen eliminated in the first round.
Again,please accept my heartfelt gratitude. I’m eagerly expecting our next meeting.
Yours truly,
Zhang Wei
尊敬的格林先生：
我写此信是为了表达对您善意帮助的由衷感谢。
我昨天面试的时候非常紧张，以至有些慌乱失言。是您及时的鼓励让我平静下来并有了充分的自信。此后我精彩的回答得到评委们的一致好评，一切顺利结束。但若没有您的帮助，我可能在第一轮面试就已经出局了。
请再次接受我的衷心感谢。热切期待着与您的下一次相见。
您真诚的，
张伟

A side from this lesson,there also exsit tens of thousands of reasons why i should show my gratefuiness to you .here,let me express my heartfelt appreciaton from the bottom of my brain.Beacause it is you who push me to treasure the every mintue ,every second in my life .do you still remember the unforgotable experience?it is in a cold morning in the winter ,you punished me heavily just because i failed to value my time .
And it it you who hoaxed me .thourgh this event ,I learned to be full of vigour and smile to every cheater.Just as Alexander Puskin put it : If by life you were daceived, don not be dismal ,dont be wild . in the day of grief , be mild . merry days will come ,believe. Heart is living in tomorrow ;present is dejected here, in a moment , please sorrow, that which passes will be dear.
Finally,I wish you may stay happy every day so as not to bother to disturb me with trouble.
Yours sincerely

当我生病的时候非常感谢你来看望我并照顾我，让我感觉好温暖，在你的关心陪伴下，我的病也好了很多。 因为生病，我落下了很多功课，因此，每个周末你都会来我家帮我补习，因为你的帮忙，我落下的功课很快就补回来了，真的非常感谢你！
Dear Lily,
Thank you so much for coming to visit me and taking care of me while I was sick. It made me feel so warm inside. My health has improved a lot with your care and comfort.
I had also fallen behind on my sutdies because of the sickness, that's why you came over every weekend to help me catch up. Hence I had quickly made up all that has fallen behind. For that I am also very grateful.

dear mr. seaton，
thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to london. it was the first timethat i had seen the tower or any of the other famous sights. if id gone alone, i couldnt have seen nearly as much, because i wouldnt have known my way about the weather wassplendid on that day, which i thought was rare. i still remember some people toldme that in britain there was weather and no climate. during the same day, it mightsnow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the afternoon and be windy before thenight falls. so i think i was lucky.
i think the rivertrip was the best thing of all. london really came alive for me as we saw it fromthe thames during that wonderful journey down to greenwich. it was all tremendouslyexciting － a day that i shall never forget.
thank you forgiving me such a great birthday treat.
yours sincerely,
linda chen

Dear friends,
Words just cannot express how much I appreciate your kindness and devotion to us.
Your generous help and professional teaching made all the students at this small school located in the remote area achieve great improvement and transformed a normal volunteer teaching activity into a unforgettable experience. We are pleased to see that they (all the children and other teachers) are showing more eagerness to knowledge and having a more positive mind towards life, and all of these are a credit to you all.
I do hope that you can come back to see us in the near future and therefore we can have a chance to show you around in our beautiful land. Once again, thank you very much for what you have done.
Truly yours,
Li Ming
