Dear Mrs Thompson,
I want to thank you for being my teacher. You took the time to help me, although you were so busy.
Your classes always made me happy. l used to think that science was boring and difficult, and I did badly in class. I never liked science until took your class. You encouraged me and made science lessons fun, and slowly, I grew more confident.
I also want to thank you for being kind to me. You helped me a lot, especially after my grandmother passed away. I couldn’t talk about my feelings to anybody until you sat with me during lunch that day. You listened to me and talked with me so that I felt much better. That day will always remain in my mind. Thank you so much for being not only my teacher but also my friend.
Sincerely,
Kelly Smith

Dear Ms. Lin,
I am writing to thank you for all the help and sweet memories you have given me over the past years.
When I first entered your class, I was not really interested in this subject. I remember being shy and afraid to open my mouth to speak English. You noticed that and encouraged me to try. Your warm smile and sense of humor really made me feel relaxed and I gradually felt the joy of learning English. After class, you were always there and ready to help as well. Every time I had a problem, you listened to me patiently and offered me useful advice. Because of you, I've become better and better.
I would appreciate it if you could accept my sincere thanks.
Yours,
Alice
