Dear sir，

I am writing to you to express my thanks for your help in learning English. You are one of the best teachers who I have ever met. There are many good points that I learn from you.

During these days in your class, I have acquired much knowledge from you and it really helps me a lot。 Firstly， you let me know what the west thinking pattern is -straight thinking pattern. As an English learner, it is important for me to understand the difference between them. There is no denying the fact that this can help me with my examination and interaction with foreigners. Whats more， Im glad to be your student， and I am very happy to learn the course under your guidance. English is an important tool, through which we can share our experience with the world. I treasure the chance of learning English， and I enjoy the happiness from your course.

The last not the least, please forgive those mistakes I have made which may upset you. What I have learned from you will help me pass the coming examinations and also be useful for my further education in abroad. It is not only a progress of learning, but also a cultivation of my ability.

May everything go well around you.

Your student,

Success Is What？What is successThis is an old topic. However,However, everyone’s  understanding of success is quite different. Some people think that having money, house, car, a woman is successful. Some people think that success is doing something that you want to do. Some even deny the existence of success, he thinks this world is not successful, only the endless pursuit.So I want to make a new definition of success: Success is something that people are very eager to do good things gained a sense of satisfaction and excitement. Therefore, we do things, no matter big and small, as long as you want to do, and through your efforts made, and you happy, then you succeeded. Do not look too far successful, they should not be too easy to see success, success requires your effort. Those who believe that successful people do not exist, in fact, continue to define new goals, they will from what they have done to get happy, they succeeded.(

In order to become successful, you should first of all be both perseverance and hardworking. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work even harder. You should always keep in mind that perseverance is the mother of success and industry is the key to it. In addition, you should pay great attention to your work method. It is necessary for you to sum up your experience constantly and improve the efficiency of your work. Finally, it is important for you to get along well with your co-workers, care for each other and help each other. If you follow these principles, you will certainly achieve remarkable success in thefuture.

In my opinion, success means achieving brilliant results in ones work, that is, making outstanding contributions to the development of the country and bringing happiness to the people. So my conclusion is that even if one has made great progress in what he does, I don’t think there’s any reasons for him tobeconceited.

Success, as is known, is the pursuit of many ambitious people. It requires much of a person.

In my  above all, one should be a person of strong perseverance. Rome was not built in a day. On our long way to success, there are  undoubtedly many difficulties standing in the way. If we lose heart and give up

halfway, nothing can be achieved. Throughout history, we havehad many famous successful people in the world, of whom no one is weak-minded. Take the great American scientist Edison as an example, he tried experiment after experiment and had one failure after another before he finally invented the bulb, which lighted up the whole world. So we can conclude perseverance can surely be one of the secrets of success. Furthermore, one needs to work hard to realize his dream just as the famous saying goes “Hard work leads to success”.

Look at these around us and we’ll find diligent people are always the favor of our society. They usually achieve more than expected. Why do so many of our classmates of average intelligence go far ahead of othersHard work is definitely supposed to be the answer. And still, I hold that one must keep in pace with the informative world. There’s no denying that our world is changing every day. So one can never be locked alone inside his own room, doing his research work and dedicated to book knowledge

How can an isolated person be well-informed enough to go ahead of othersIf so, that could be ridiculous. Success is what one desires. So long as one is perseverant, hard working and up-to-date, I am sure success is near at hand

They also only a small angel, the wing has not fullness. When Mieding disaster fell, the land covered by grief, they used a strong and smiling, shook us.

In more than 10 hours after the quake, one of the North-Manlianshixue boy was rescued from the rubble. In his armed police officers and soldiers prepared to move to safe areas, he can move difficult to hold the right hand, weakness and a standard King team at the Young Pioneers. Stretcher on the little boy he did not forget to rescue the officers and men of his uncles move Thanksgiving salute to the countless people deeply touched……

The thankful great universe provides the environment of existence for us and give us sunlight， air， water and everything in keeping with us existence of space， bring storm to let us accept to toughen for us， bring to us mysterious let us look for。 The thankful parents give us the life， make us feel the merriment of the human life， feel the genuine feeling of the human life， feel the ity of the human life， feel happiness of the human life， also feel hardships and pain and sufferings of the human life! The thankful teacher works with diligence and without fatigue everyday of teach， give us knowledge ability， and put on the wing which flies toward the ideal for us。 The thankful classmate and friend grow up with us and let us no longer stand alone in the itinerary of life。 The thankful our country provides us with free books， dormitory and food。 Whenever it is， we should keep a thankful heart towards everything existed。 Only thus， can we bee a useful man。

s in the playground in our school held a big activity - gratitude education.

The school also invited the space-squeezed cities teacher lecture for us. The teacher told us the word "teach" first, said: "what is education? First learn to filial piety, learning knowledge, order cannot be reversed." At this time of the classmates, as to the space-squeezed cities, content of the teacher speak of are listened with relish, wont make a sound.

The space-squeezed cities the teacher told us a deaf girl again to become the worlds model of small story. When you listen to, tears, some still can send out the voice of weeping, so do I. At this moment, I thought, with the size of the little girl my age dont have parents, and my mom and dad every day care about me, but I know when they are, is really ashamed!

Space-squeezed cities the teacher not only teach us grateful parents, and teach us grateful teacher.

The teacher said, "when you play in the playground, the teacher prepares a lesson in the office; when the dead of night, the teacher corrects students papers. The teacher position you pay, and you?" At that time, everyone bowed his head.

After hearing this vivid Thanksgiving education, I dont feel grateful, is not a person, Im sorry the word "person" title.

我们全校师生在操场上举行了一次大型活动——感恩教育。

学校还邀请了刘志老师为我们讲课。老师先对我们讲“教”这个字，说：“什么是教育?先学会孝顺，再学知识，顺序不能颠倒。”这时的同学们，好像对刘志老师讲的内容所着迷，都在津津有味地听着，不会发出一点声音。

刘志老师又给我们讲了一位聋哑小姑娘成为世界名模的小故事。大家听后，热泪盈眶，有的还会发出哭泣的声音来，我也一样。这时的我，想：与我年龄一般大小的小女孩都没有了父母，而我的爸爸妈妈每天都关心我，我却身在福中不知福，真是惭愧啊!

刘志老师不但教我们感恩父母，而且教我们感恩老师。

老师说：“当你们在操场上嬉戏的时候，老师在办公室里备课;当夜深人静的时候，老师在批改作业。老师不停地位你们付出，而你们呢?”这时候，大家都低下了头。

听完这节生动的感恩教育课，我觉得不懂得感恩的人，就不是一个活生生的人，就对不起这个“人”字称号。

Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, a different date every year. The President must proclaim that date as the official celebration.

Thanksgiving is a time for tradition and sharing. Even if they live far away, family members gather for a reunion at the house of an older relative. All give thanks together for the good things that they have.

Thanksgiving began with the first European settlers in America. They

gathered their crops, celebrated and gave thanks for the food.

Tradition says Pilgrim settlers from England celebrated the first

thanksgiving in sixteen twenty-one. There is evidence that settlers in other

parts of America held earlier thanksgiving celebrations. But the Pilgrims

thanksgiving story is the most popular.

The Pilgrims were religious dissidents who fled oppression in England. They

went first to the Netherlands. Then they left that country to establish a colony

in North America. The Pilgrims landed in sixteen twenty in what later became

known as Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean was difficult. Their first months in

America were difficult, too. About one hundred Pilgrims landed just as autumn

was turning to winter. During the cold months that followed, about half of them

died.

Parents love is the most selfless and pure love in heaven. Birds do not fly, can only open his mouth to her mother to feed food, birds mother all the way for the birds to find food, but they could not bear to eat, this is called maternal love my mother is the same, she never stopped from my birth Love for me, when I was still toddler, not only can not share for the mother, but will only add endless trouble to her, such as: broken vases, playing a knife to hurt their own, and so often, mom Always distressed endless, but never any blame and blame. This is great maternal love. -

My mother gave me a lot of love, but sometimes I can not understand, or even misunderstanding ... ... Once, my mother let me do a few math problems, there is a question I puzzled, go to ask her mother, she told me Most of the day I still do not do, my mother was his head in his hand, secretly lost tears, although I did not cry out the sound, but the tears or a string of string down, I think: mother too do not understand Our childrens mind, and play is the childs nature, learning is secondary, why do you see so heavy mother? -

Another time, I made a dish, I think: Although children do not eat rice but the parents will say delicious. Can be a mother to eat a mouth to cover his mouth to the toilet, I asked her: "delicious?" "Not good!" Mother replied. The voice faded, I cried and said: "Why, other peoples mother to eat their own daughter to do the dishes, said delicious, but you said no good, I have no confidence." Mother listened to earnestly said: "If I want to make you happy and not tell the truth, you do not know the truth, become arrogant, so you not only can not progress, but will regress." I thought, or do not understand why my mother would think so, It is not the kind of person ah

Parents love， everywhere. My parents are my favorite people， but also the most let I respect people， thank them for me to raise me， for my life and study.

Since kindergarten， parents began to bid farewell to life easily. Because I have to go to school on time， so they wake me up on time every morning and ready for breakfast， and then send me to school， school， day after day， year by year， three years in a row.

In elementary school， the parents at the contact schools on the move for me， hope I have a good learning environment.

Into the school， and on time every day to take me home， rain or shine.

On the fourth Thursday of November, Thanksgiving Day, I made an envelope on the day of Thanksgiving, which read: the gift that wang xiyuan gave her. Inside with a small piece of paper, it read: your mother is my ents, I like a small tree, you help me with the scissors with branches that bad, let me grow up faster, thank you, mom. My mother put me in my arms and said, jia jia is sensible! Im so happy.

I gave my dad a paper airplane that said, "the gift from wang xiyuan." There was also an envelope in the suture of the paper plane, and there was a note on it that read: daddy happy Thanksgiving, father surprised and a sound, said: my jia jia grow up! I smiled and walked into the study to play two childrens songs for mom and dad. It was little red riding hood and the golden peacock. A sweet piano. The whole familys laughter echoed in the real room.

Students, how do you spend Thanksgiving? Tell me about it!

So many children take what their parents do for them for granted, they

haven’t realized the meaning of being grateful. So they always get angry with

their parents, because they don’t get what they want. According to the news that

a little girl went out of the house and refused to go home because her parents

did not give her enough pocket money. I was so shocked to hear it, I would never

ask much from my parents, because I knew they were not easy to make a living and

I am always feel so thankful for what they offer me. Even the one who gives me a

hand when I am in need, I would remember him and when I have the chance, I will

return. A grateful heart makes us a kind person and create a harmonious

environment.

【参考译文】：我们应该感谢其他在感恩节。然而，我们应该感谢每一天。

上帝有两个住处，一个在天上，和其他的温顺和感激的心。应该感谢别人是一种显示您的爱。也许这是一个小东西，拿起你的笔下降，解除了沉重的方块，您或为您提供座位的公共汽车。我们应该感谢他们为他们所做的一切。你给予的爱越多，你得到的爱越多。

This is Teachers Day and a time to be grateful to all teachers. This profession deserves the special recognition and respect. There is no more appropriate time than this to honour you and others in your chosen field. You have my eternal gratefulness. Have a happy Teachers Day. The whole secret of the teacher s force lies in the conviction that men are convertible. Teacher, who educate children, deserve more honor than parents, who merely gave them birth; for the latter provided more life, while the former ensure a good life. What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soule.

My heartfelt thanks to you, dear teacher. On the voyage of life, you have kindled the light of hope for me. What you have done enriches my mind and broadens my view. On this day I honour you sincerely.No one deserves a bigger thank you than you. One day is hardly enough to show our gratitude.

When it comes to success, different people have different opinions about what makes it come true. Some people regard hard-working as an essential quality to success while others believe being clever would lead to success. From my point of view, I think perseverance and hard-working are indispensable for those who want to make an achieveme

谈到成功时，对于实现成功的原因不同的人有不同的看法。有些人认为勤奋是成功必备的素质，而另一些人则相信聪明人会实现成功。从我的角度来看，我认为毅力和勤奋对于那些想要成功的人是必不可少的。

Firstly, perseverance let people step closely towards success. Most people want to make a big difference to prove their value. People who set their goal and keep moving would make their dream come true. However, there are some people who set their goal but they stop at the difficulty would fail in the end. I think the difference between success and failure is perseverance. If we have perseverance, even if we are not clever, we will make a great difference, but if we not, we are doomed to lose. As we all know, Edison is a great inventor in the world. However, before he invented the bulb, he kept trying for tens of thousands of times to find a suitable wire. Let us imagine, if he gave up at the 999th, then how he couldn’t become so successful. So, I strongly believe that perseverance produces success.

首先，毅力让人离成功越来越近。大多数人都想用不同的方式证明自己的价值。设定自己的目标，向着目标走，就可以使梦想成真了。然而，有些人设立了目标，却在困难面前妥协了将以失败告终。我认为成功与失败之间的差别是毅力。如果我们有毅力，即使我们不聪明，我们也会有很大的不同，但是如果我们没有毅力，我们注定是要失败的。我们都知道，爱迪生是一位伟大的发明家。但是，在他发明电灯泡前，他试了为数千次去找一个合适的线。让我们想象一下，如果他在第九百九十九次放弃了，那么他就不可能变得如此成功。因此，我强烈认为，坚持就会成功。

Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I think they are lucky. Nevertheless, if they don’t make a hard work on their way to their goal, they, absolutely, will become loser. Whether we are gifted for intelligent, we must be hard-working so as to success. I regard hard-working as an efficient approach to be successful because I believe ‘pains and gains’. As for those who do not make great efforts on work, failure follows. In old times, there is a clever boy who can make excellent poem when he can talk. When his father found the little child’s cleverness, he just let the child make poems to show around while never let the boy learned anything. When the boy grew up, people forgot him because he lost the ability Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I think they are lucky.

Nevertheless, if they don’t make a hard work on their way to their goal, they, absolutely, will become loser. Whether we are gifted for intelligent, we must be hard-working so as to success.

When his father found the little child’s cleverness, he just let the child make poems to show around while never let the boy learned anything. When the boy grew up, people forgot him because he lost the ability

其次，还有一种人是天生聪明的，他们是幸运的。然而，如果他们没有在实现目标之前努力工作，他们当然也会成为失败者。无论我们是否有天资，我们都应该努力工作以获得成功。我认为勤奋是成功的一个有效的方法，因为我相信的“付出和收获”。对于那些不努力工作的人最后是失败的了。在古代，有一个聪明的男孩，在他能说话的时候就可以作优秀的诗歌。当他的父亲发现他孩子的聪明时，他只是让孩子到处作诗歌来炫耀，却从不让他儿子学习别的知识。孩子长大后，人们把他遗忘了，因为他失去了创作能力，成为了普通人。从这件事中，我们可以看到，只有通过努力工作才能获得知识，拥有一个好的 Anyway, I think perseverance and hard-working are both important in our way to success for they enhance us and produce success

不管怎么样，我觉得毅力和勤奋在成功路上都是很重要的，因为他们提升我们并获得成功。

Now I would like to give you some details about Thanksgiving Day in the

United States. Thanksgiving Day is the most truly American of the national

Holidays in the United States and is most closely connected with the earliest

history of the country.

现在我想给你们详细谈谈美国的感恩节。感恩节是美国国定假日中最地道、最美国式的节日，而且它和早期美国历史最为密切相关。

In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to America on the May

flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a

tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now

Plymouth, Massachusetts.

1620年，一些朝圣者(或称为清教徒)乘坐"五月花"号船去美国寻求宗教自由。他们在海上颠簸折腾了两个月之后，终于在酷寒的十一月里，在现在的马萨诸塞州的普里茅斯登陆。

During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or

epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.

在第一个冬天，半数以上的移民都死于饥饿和传染病，活下来的人们在第一个春季开始播种。

All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing

that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming

harvest.Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And

therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed. Years

later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November

as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been

observed on that date until today.

整个夏天他们都热切地盼望着丰收的到来，他们深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在与否都将取决于即将到来的收成。后来，庄稼获得了意外的丰收，所以大家决定要选一个日子来感谢上帝的恩典。多年以后，美国总统宣布每年十一月的第四个星期四为感恩节。感恩节庆祝活动便定在这一天，直到如今。

The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the

years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table,

people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes.There will be

plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash.

The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They

have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout

the years.

感恩节庆祝模式许多年来从未改变。丰盛的家宴早在几个月之前就开始着手准备。人们在餐桌上可以吃到苹果、桔子、栗子、胡桃和葡萄，还有葡萄干布丁、碎肉馅饼、各种其它食物以及红莓苔汁和鲜果汁，其中最妙和最吸引人的大菜是烤火鸡和番瓜馅饼，这些菜一直是感恩节中最富于传统意义和最受人喜爱的食品。

Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a

bread dressing to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies

with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a

consensus on the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.Thanksgiving today

is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths

and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year s bounty and

reverently ask for continued[5] blessings.

人人都赞成感恩节大餐必需以烤火鸡为主菜。火鸡在烘烤时要以面包作填料以吸收从中流出来的美味汁液，但烹饪技艺常因家庭和地区的不同而各异，应用什幺填料也就很难求得一致。今天的感恩节是一个不折不扣的国定假日。在这一天，具有各种信仰和各种背景的美国人，共同为他们一年来所受到的上苍的恩典表示感谢，虔诚地祈求上帝继续赐福。
