英语作文感谢信例句(经典20篇)

There was once a family, and they were all happy. Although they did not

have much money, the children still thought that working is the best!

In their country, lived a wise king, and you may guess, that this king was

proud and unkind; most people don’t like him, and so had driven him away through

the woods, and into a small boat, which they sent him away.

The king was not happy about this, and so went to see General Lord, to let

him help to win back his crown. And suppose, you may guess, that this proud king

had an evil Roman prince. It was already dawn and the sun was setting, General

Lord gave five horses to them; and told them to follow him. They galloped

further and further, until they came to a dark cave; curled with thick thorny

bushes, but this was no ordinary cave; oh no, this was a palace cave, which

lived the king of all animals.

And the king of all animals was nobody but the great tiger! Yikes! Most

people thought tigers weren’t very nice, but General Lord saw him years ago; and

they had been friends ever since. And so there was a pretty good chance General

Lord said, “Go in,” The proud king, and the selfish Queen; with their son, the

wicked Roman prince, entered the mouth of the cave. General Lord led them

inside, and there sat the big tiger. This tiger said, “Hello dear friends,”

“Ah!” cried the king, “A talking tiger!” “Of course,” said General Lord, “Kings

were supposed to learn everything.”

“Now,” said the tiger, “What can I do for you General Lord?” “I want a

party!” “A party?” asked the proud king, “I just want you to help me win back my

crown!” he shouted, “Yes,” said General Lord, “But a party could show your

people that you love them and care for them.”

The king accepted the offer of General Lord, and so took the party

decorations, and decorated the main hall, and then made the treats, and invited

all the people here, “What do you want proud king?” “I want to give you a party,

to say that I am sorry for all the bad deeds I have done.”

“It’s about time proud king. Ha!” and then the music began; they danced all

night, and sang. Everybody thought that the king just wanted them to give him

back; but they already realized that they had already made Milan the king. And

so they went to the palace, and told him that they wanted the old king back; and

that he should get off the throne.

Milan was very angry by these words, and so sent guards to arrest him. Just

then the old king approached, he knew that Milan loved to dance, and that he

couldn’t bear not to. He took the music box here, and began to dance. As he

said, Milan began to dance, and he pushed him aside; which allowed him to sit,

and that was how the old king became king again.”

Youth Day (青年节) in the Peoples Republic of China is on May 4. It was

established in December 1949 by the Government Administration Council to

commemorate the beginning of the May Fourth Movement in 1919. This day is known

as …

May Fourth Movement

Chinese intellectual revolution and sociopolitical reform movement (1917 –

21)。 In 1915 young intellectuals inspired by Chen Duxiu began agitating for the

reform and strengthening of Chinese society through acceptance of Western

science, democracy, and schools of thought, one objective being to make China

strong enough to resist Western imperialism. On May 4, 1919, reformist zeal

found focus in a protest by Beijings students against the Versailles Peace

Conferences decision to transfer former German concessions in China to Japan.

After more than a month of demonstrations, strikes, and boycotts of Japanese

goods, the government gave way and refused to sign the peace treaty with

Germany. The movement spurred the successful reorganization of the Nationalist

Party and gave birth to the Chinese Communist Party. See also Treaty of

Versailles.

Everybody has a daily schedule. We do the same things almost every day. My

day is probaly like yours.

每个人都有日程安排。每天，我们总是做着相同的事情。我的一天就有可能像你们一样。

Heres my daily routine. I get up at 6:30 every morning. I take my time

waking up,but then I wash up quickly. I brush my teeth,comb my hair and put on

school uniform. I pack my bag for school and I leave. I never miss breakfast,so

I either eat at home or eat on the way to school. But I always eat hurry. After

school,I go to a cram school like all my friends. I study and finish my homework

for the day. Finally,I go home and I take a break. I have dinner with my

family,watch a little TV. I am usually in bed by 9:30.

这个就是我的日常安排，每天早上6点30起床。我花了一些时间起床，然后很快地洗漱完毕。我刷牙、梳头发以及穿上校服。我整理好书包后离开(家)。我从来不会不吃早餐，所以我可以在家或在去学校的路上吃早餐。但我总是吃得很匆忙。放学后，我就像我的朋友那样去补习学校(学习)。我学习并完成了当天的作业。最后，我回家并休息了会儿。我与家人一起吃晚饭，看一会儿电视。我常常在9点半的时候上床睡觉。

This is my routine from Monnday to Friday. However,the weekends are

different. I can wake up late. Then. I can do whatever I like. I believe my

routine is typical. It is probably a lot like yours.

这就是我从周一到周五的例行日程。可是，周末(安排)就不一样了。我可以很晚起床。然后我可以做任何我喜欢的事。我相信我的日程是很典型的。这就可能与你们的日程非常相似。

Dear principal: Hello!

Recently, you have been emphasizing safety education at morning meetings.

Various forms of education let us know the importance of safety, and let us know

some methods of self-protection. I keep these in mind. However, you seem to have

missed some details in your speech. Here I will give you some tips.

Last Thursday morning, there was a get out of class ending. A third-grade

classmate went downstairs to go to the toilet because the toilet on the third

floor was broken. He fell to the ground due to slippage. So I suggest that the

principal you should buy some non-slip carpets and spread them on the ground

when it rains to reduce unnecessary damage and make our campus more beautiful

and safer.

Maybe my proposal is naive, or it may not be realized for a while. As long

as it can be resolved in time, our campus will become more beautiful, and we

will grow happier.

Sincerely,

Your student:

敬爱的校长：您好!

最近，您一直在晨会上强调安全教育，形式多样的教育让我们知道安全的重要性，又让我们懂得一些自我保护的方法，这些我都牢记在心。可是您讲话时似乎漏了一些细节，在此我给您提一些小建议。

上星期四的早上，有一节下课，一个三年级的同学因为三楼的厕所坏了，所以下楼上厕所。他由于地面滑而摔倒在地上。所以我提议校长您应当买一些防滑的地毯，在下雨天的时候把这些地毯铺在地上，减少不必要的伤害，让我们的校园更加美丽和安全。

也许我的提议很幼稚，也可能一时实现不了。只要能及时解决，我们的校园就会变得更加美丽，我们会更加快乐成长。

此致

敬礼!

Dear New Year: Hello! This is the first time for the small cabinet in the public number to write a more alternative push, but it is very meaningful, it will record every day of the journey of the heart. I often tell myself that every day is worth living. Dou Handle turned southeast northwest, the four seasons and a reincarnation, such as a flash of time, the New Year you came to our side. New Years day, people often to the future time to place good wishes, pray to ring out the old and welcome the new, the day over better. In the heart of the pavilion, the New Year is a symbol of footprints - through the spring, summer, autumn and winter, but always harbor the courage to change. In fact, I have always liked the atmosphere of the New Year, no matter how far we go, go around or back to my hometown, like the sun, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The New Year you walk through the people mountain people sea, walked the sun and the moon mountains and rivers, in the arrival of the spring time to bring the best wishes. You tell us all the time, their happiness and happy things to hide in the heart, as fireworks bloom and bloom, let the reunion in the heart of the warm to disperse the winter. Looking at your figure, listening to your blessing, I suddenly feel every hug with you is a kind of happiness, because every year you always come as expected. Everywhere you go, the sun shines. Where you point, the stars shine. The ancients often said: "a years plan begins with spring. In the New Year, your "new", new in us spend a full year, and full of hope for the next year, so that the unknown life more hope and expectation. You let us realize that each New Year is a world of bath wash, wash our past regrets, wash our pure heart, so that each person more a side of the vast "heart". But I know that each time you come, bring us a new feeling and experience! We had a special and unforgettable Spring Festival this year. At the very beginning, there was an outbreak of pneumonia across China. People were uneasy about every day, as if the New Year had lost its flavor. On the Internet, looking at pictures of empty streets and scenes of hospitals full of people, I saw that everyones eyes were full of the desire to survive, the kind of expectation that they would not give up in the difficult situation. In ordinary life, people always say "the world is not worth it", but in a crisis, it is "to live is to be happy". It made me see what happiness is. Happiness is when you are in good health and I try my best to live each day well. People are not no pursuit, but excessive desire will make people live uncomfortable. No matter what happens, you will always be able to give us hope in the New Year, give everyone the motivation to make a difference, and dispel the clouds of fear that hang over our hearts. You have come to us in the New Year with hope and with the pomp of spring. You gave everyone a beautiful wish to think: the day of spring flowers, flowers flourish, warbler, all things born spring garden. We live in a world of peace and prosperity, where everyone has the opportunity to pursue their dreams. Because of this desire, many people for their own homes, go to the front line, to protect the people behind them. Its not that theyre not afraid of the unknown. Its that they feel its worth it to protect everything. The New Year you bring us hope, one is connected to cherish, one is connected to change, one is connected to the unknown, one is connected to the star. This New Year, I firmly believe that everyone will cherish the future life, cherish the people around more. May we meet every year

you practiced over and over again; you wanted it more than anyone; you

studied the hardest, but in the end, you still didnt succeed. each time you ask

yourself, what happened and why. what i might suggest is that did you have a

wrong attitude?

positive attitude helps us cope with the daily affairs of life more easily.

it brings optimism into our life, and makes it easier to avoid worry and

negative thinking. if we adopt it as a way of life, it will bring constructive

changes into our life, and makes us happier, brighter and more successful. with

a positive attitude we will see the bright side of life, become optimistic and

expect the best to happen. it is certainly a state of mind that is well worth

developing and strengthening.

so next time, you will practice just as much, still want it just as much,

will study just as hard. what will be different is that you will also put on a

smile. a positive attitude might just be the one thing that you need to

succeed!

The majority Han Chinese have long followed the tradition of eating laba

rice porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The date usually

falls in min-January and is a traditional Chinese festival.

Legend about the origin of this festivity abounds One maintains that over

3，000 years ago sacrificial rites were held in the twelfth lunar month when

people offered up their prey to the gods of heaven and earth. The Chinese

characters for the hunt and the twelfth month (lie and la) were interchangeable

then， and ever since la has been used to refer to both. Since the festival was

held on the eighth day of the last month， people later appended the number

eighth (ba in Chinese)， giving us the current laba.

尊敬的某x人民医院领导：

您们好!我首先在这里对您们表示衷心的感谢，感谢您们一个礼拜以来对家母病情的关注。祝贵院事业蒸蒸日上，在医学科学领域里取得更大的成绩。

当得到母亲得病的那一刻，我第一个打算是把母亲接到北京来治疗，可家人和朋友都极力劝说我，说咱们某x人民医院的杨春杰主任对我母亲的这种血栓导致半身不遂的病具有非常精湛的医术，作为一个公职人员我身在北京回去也要几个小时，所以就暂时同意了去某某医院的意见，打算先治疗一下看看，我也马上回家，不行的话再接母亲转院来北京。可当我见到某x他用无私的爱心和高尚的医德，用一言一行、一举一动诠释着当代医生的职责操守和医道本色时我感动了，我决定就在咱们宁津县人民医院治疗，我认为有这么负责的医生肯定能治好我母亲的病。

在家母住院期间，由于我们对医学知识的一知半解，没少给医护人员出难题、添麻烦，但听了某某的精辟讲解，看着他细致耐心、认真负责的工作态度，我们悬着的心落下了一大半。对患者家属来讲，医生就是最后的心理支柱，他的言行举止影响着患者全家，每当患者的病情有什么变化时，杨春杰主任及内四科全体医护人员们总是及时耐心地与我们家属沟通，详细讲解病情及治疗方案，并对我们这些六神无主的家属进行心理疏导，减轻我们的心理压力。正是某x主任热情的服务，为我们解除了心里顾虑，是贵院医护人员敬业的职业精神让我们决定可以把母亲的健康托付给贵院。

经过短短7天的治疗母亲的手又可以动了，看着家母病情一天天的好转，我们心里真是说不出的感激，由衷地对杨春杰主任及内四科全体医护人员精湛的医术感到钦佩。我感谢在家母治疗过程中所接触的每一位医护人员。虽然我可能连他们的姓名都叫不出来，甚至有些人都未曾谋面，但正是有了他们默默无闻的奉献，更使我们体验到某某x医院良好的医风和医德。

在此，我代表患者全体家属对某某人民医院某某主任及某某科全体医护人员表示最衷心地感谢。同时，我还要感谢医院的领导，感谢你们培养出像某某这样优秀的医生和某某科这样优秀的队伍。最后，让我发自肺腑地说一句：祝愿某某医院某某和全体医护人员身体健康、万事如意、全家幸福!

There is a lovely teacher in our class. We like him as our friends. We

would like to tell him everything， happiness and sadness. He helps us on our

lessons and guides us on other things. I am happy to have such a good

teacher.

what would you do if you failed? many people may choose to give up.

however, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your

goal.

on your way to success, you must keep your direction. it is just like a

lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way.

otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.

direction means objectives. you can get nowhere without an objective in

life.

you can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve

it. in this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time

properly. and you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long

as you keep your direction all the time.

如果失败了你会怎么做?很多人可能会选择放弃。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是坚持你的方向和目标。

在通往成功的路上，你必须坚持你的方向。它就像一盏灯，在黑暗中为你指路，帮助你度过难关。否则，你很容易就会迷失方向或犹豫不前。

方向意味着目标。人生如果没有目标，将一事无成。

你可以试着把你的目标写在纸上，并制定实现目标的计划。这样，你就会懂得如何合理安排时间，如何正确地支配时间。而且你还要有这样的信念：只要你一直坚持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。

Dear Jim,

亲爱的吉姆，

Last Sunday my classmates and I went to Xiangshan Park.

上周日我和我的同学去了香山公园。

We met at 7 oclock at the school gate. The weather in Beijing that day was great. At around 8 oclock, we arrived at Xiangshan Park. There is a high tree on the bottom of the hill. We had a party and played games under the tree. Then we climbed to the top of Xiangshan Mountain. It was not very difficult for us to do it. Next, we had lunch at the top of the hill. It was delicious. After lunch, we saw some birds. They were friendly. And we saw a whole picture of Beijing. "What a beautiful city!" I said. At that moment, we all felt so proud. I live in Beijing now. The 2008 Olympic games was held here.

我们七点在校门口集合。那天北京的天气很好。八点左右，我们就抵达香山公园。在山脚下有一棵高高的树。我们在树下开了一个聚会，玩游戏。然后我们爬上香山的山顶。对我们来说并不是很难。接下来，我们在山顶上吃午饭。很美味。午饭后，我们看见了一些鸟。它们很友好。我们看到了北京的全貌。”真是一个美丽的城市!”我说道。在那一刻，我们都感到非常的骄傲。我现在住在北京。2008届奥运会将在这里举行。

I hope you can visit to Beijing in the future and I am sure you’ll like here.

希望将来你可以来参观北京，我肯定你一定会喜欢的。

Best wishes.

最好的祝福

I have a good plan for this weekend. Actually, I bought three concert

tickets for this coming Sunday evening, and I will enjoy the music with my

parents. It will be performed by a String Quartet from Denmark, called

Nightingale. Since I have learned to play the piano and am a classical music

fan, I cannot wait any longer for this musical activity this weekend. It would

be brilliant, if today were Sunday.

亲爱的白衣天使们：

你们好!

以往的春节都很热闹，而今年这个庚子鼠年的春节却因为新型冠状病毒的爆发变得安静而特别。在大家都足不出户宅在家中隔绝病毒的时候，无数抗击病毒的白衣天使们深深感动了我。

还记得小时候总是要打疫苗，但每当我看见一个身穿白大褂的人，就会感到很害怕，因为打针实在是有些痛。直到现在我长大了，才知道那些在医院里身穿白大褂的人就是一直以来守护我们健康的白衣天使，谢谢你们。

这次病毒传播地非常快，形势非常严峻，很多人都病倒了，就在这时，我看到在祖国和人民需要的时候，你们义无反顾奔赴“战场”，甚至有人来不及回家收拾随身的物品，由于事发突然，防护用品一时跟不上，你们就穿着尿不湿，尽量不去厕所，只为多节省一身防护服;人员一时不够用，你们就加班加点，用最少的人照顾最多的病人。你们太辛苦了，白衣天使。是你们用尽全力隔离开了我们和病毒，是你们用身体变成了保护我们的屏障，谢谢你们。

通过看新闻我还知道了许多去支援疫区的医生和护士为了工作方便，毅然剪去了自己乌黑亮丽的长发，甚至由于时间紧迫，没有专业的理发师，你们都是互相给对方剪头发，甚至剃成了光头。你们为了更好的照顾病人，自己默默付出了太多，谢谢你们。

目前全国共有一千三百多医生护士在治疗病人的时候被感染，其中还有七名白衣天使为此牺牲，真是令人感到无比难过。在这个特殊的时期涌现着无数感人的事迹，让我在流泪的同时又感到我们的祖国充满着温暖和希望。因为有你们在直面病毒的战场上为我们抵挡枪林弹雨，我们才能安心在家中安心学习，因为有你们在前方为我们撑开保护伞，我们才能拥有健康的身体。在这里，我衷心的感谢你们无私的奉献，希望疫情早日结束，天使早日平安凯旋!

祝

身体健康

早日归来

As a child, I am very naughty and forget about what my mother tells me. One

time, I go back home very late. When I see my mother, she smiles at first and

then turns angry, because she has told me before if I go home late, I must tell

her in advance. I let my mother heart-broken. I feel sorry and promise it won’t

happen again.

dear all,

its time to say goodbye to everyone today. i will leave this afternoon.

in __x years, with you good friends, i have so much happy memory. i will

never forget that and they are my largest fortune in my life.

it is my pleasure to work with you and i appreciate much that you have

shared precious time with me. thank you for sharing, support, help and

encouragement and thank you for everything!

wish you happy and healthy!

keep in touch via

yesterday my mother and i went to the east lake about 40 kilometreseast of

the city. i had a good time there.

we left home at seven oclock in the morning, and it took us about an hour

to drive there. then we got to the lake. oh, how large the lake was!there were

many green trees and red flowers around it. we got on a small boat and rowed it.

the sky was clear and the breeze touched our faces softly. i sang while rowing

the boat.after we had lunch in a small restaurant, we returned home. i really

hope to go there next spring!

Yao teacher:

You are a red candle, burning the most passionate torch in our hearts. Just into the fourth grade, you are very strict with us, your face of seriousness in my opinion is not used to, because we from the first grade began to be spoiled, spoiled, often lawless. You come, such eyes, such majesty, as if to shock everyone. Everyone again. Also not noisy, after class no longer chase dozen, we are like a new man, we can no longer not be in a temper. We have come to understand that it is for our good that you are strict with us.

Spring silkworm to dead silk, candles into ash tears began to dry. Teacher, you have been working silently in your own ordinary job for 25 years. How many outstanding talents have you cultivated? No one can count. Someone said to see the word such as people, my words have been written not good, is your patience and write in my exercise book some words of encouragement to remind me, therefore, my words slowly beautiful. It gives me a lot of confidence. "A teacher is a true seed, a messenger of good, a banner of beauty, the embodiment of love." There is nothing wrong with this remark. You run between school and home every day.

Once, your sons severe fever caused pneumonia. In the afternoon, family members called to urge you to go to see, although you are anxious, but in order to dozens of students in the school, but still did not go. When you get off work, your husband asks you, "Is your student important or is your son important?" You say: "All important." Then you explained slowly to your husband, Its enough to take care of your son by yourself. But what if there were so many students at school? You walk out of the room and look at your son, who is sallow and coughing, with tears streaming down his face, and you say, "Jack, Ive been a bad mother." You always make choices in bitterness, and you make the choices that came before you. With the persistent pursuit of career and the sincere heart of loving students, you have composed an ordinary and moving song with consistent diligence and enterprising spirit. Teacher I know your health has been bad, for us you also have to take care of yourself. I will repay you with my progress in study and live up to your expectations. In the New Year, I sincerely wish you good health! Students all over the world!

Dear Bob，

Im writing to apologize for having forgotten to return the "the Beatles" CD to you when I left Canada，I was in such a hurry that I packed everything in my luggage without checking carefully。Had I paid more attention then，I wouldnt have made such a stupid mistake。

Now something must be done to solve the problem because I understand you cherish the CD enormously。I can either send it to you by express mail or alternatively pensate you at a reasonable price。If you do not mind，I may bring it back to you next time I go to Canada。

Please let me know which solution you prefer at your earliest convenience。I really hope you will accept my sincere apology。

Faithfully yours

Li ming

陈老师,您好:

我是五年三班vv

简单的讲,我曾经以为通过这个假期的努力,我会让他喜欢上英语,但看起来我是错了.尽管这个假期又重新补了第八册的英语,但是他还是有些抵触心态......只是希望这学期能得到陈老师的积极支持与鼓励.哪怕是

每一课的单词认真写了,课文很流利的背出来了,课堂会积极回答问题了,课外又读了一个英语故事或笑话等.我希望他得到你的赞赏和鼓励.因为您的一句话,一个鼓励,一句赞赏,可能就会增加他的学习兴趣,也会给他留下终生的记忆.......也可能因此而改变他的一生!!!

陈老师,其实我们知道您非常希望您的每一个学生都学好它......喜欢它.......甚至从他们中间走出未来的外交家,出色的外商,即便是个出租车司机也是可以和老外自如交流的人.

是的,但是有时也许只是一个鼓励的眼神,一句积极的语言,他们都可能会增加学习外语的

兴趣.而且如果能够让他们用外语交流感兴趣的话题,这也不失为一种提高学习英语兴趣的方法.他们可能会因此而改变一生,因为他因你的鼓励支持而喜欢上了它.

我希望也盼望着听到他不断喜欢英语学习的消息.发自内心的说声谢谢您.!!!

我的联系电话是_____________.任何时候都愿意听到您美妙的声音.

祝您工作愉快!!!

THE ONLY MAGICAL THING----Map There was only one thing in the world that

wanted to play, and that guy’s name was Jack. He wanted to be a pirate one day,

and found treasure in pirate islands… He had a conversation with his mother one

day for certain. It was about being a pirate one day for once in his

lifetime…

“Mom, I want to be a pirate one day, and find treasures in buried islands

and…” “Whoa! Hold there son, what do you mean by, you what to be a pirate?”

asked his mother, “Well it is that I just want to hunt for treasure instead of

just being a regular boy like usual…”

His mother laughed so very hard, “Then why don’t you ask the sorcerer of

the wicked castle?” his mother suddenly added, “What do you mean of: Wicked?”

“Well,” replied her mother, “It all happened in…” “Wait!” shouted Jack, “There

is no time for you to explain the whole thing, if you could show me this ‘Wicked

castle’ then I could be a pirate sooner or later.

And so his mother showed him a riddle clue, which had many words written on

it, “All you have to do is answer the riddles and you will arrive at your

destination;” so Jack took the map, and head out for the wicked castle

immediately, “Now let us see, two choices to make; which one is it that I need

to take?” then he suddenly felt a little twinkle among his eyes, he looked at

the map; “That’s it!” he opened the map and placed it upon him. “Now, I just

need to figure this one out.”

He read it out loud, “Choose the path that has round hard things the most…”

then he thought about it, he looked at each side; first, he checked the left;

“There is nothing very hard on this side, or even round!” the he checked the

other side, known as the right; “Look, there is a pile of rocks here, they are

very hard; and round, and there are plenty of them!”

He walked to the right, and then he went straight on. At last he came to a

big castle, it has many traps; and so Jack decided to use the map and find clues

so that he won’t get lost…

He first came to the front door, and then he opened the map, read the

riddle; “Watch out for the monster, with two pairs of wings; and come in the

spring, it is giant, I warn you…” then he answered, “The only flying thing that

has two pairs of wings is a dragon fly!” when he said “Dragonfly”

d-r-a-g-o-n-f-l-y; a giant dragonfly flew past his eyes!

“Whoa!” shouted Jack, he then read the riddle, “look around you; use the

one, as sharp as a knife;” Jack looked around himself, then he found a big sharp

needle; it was huge! He used all his might and picked it up, and then he sprang

it to the monster. The monster fell down immediately, as if dead.

Then Jack had beaten the giant ‘Dragonfly’d-r-a-g-o-n-f-l-y, he was ready

to see the sorcerer. He was casting a spell when Jack came in, he interrupted

him; and so the sorcerer shouted, “What are you doing stranger?” he asked, “Can

you make me a pirate?” “What! Nobody has ever done that spell before;

never!”

And so Jack had to keep on being a normal boy, he was satisfied sometimes,

but also was glad that he didn’t turn into a pirate. “The map is ‘the only

magical thing’ in this world…
