感谢朋友的英语作文以信的方式【推荐20篇】

Dear Sir,

I would like to apply for the post of Works Manager, which was advertised

in The Guardian of I2 October 2004. I feel that my qualifications and experience

are ideally suited for the position.

I was born in 1968, and I went to school from 1973 to 1988. In 1987 I took

the General Certificate of Education, and I got good grades in Mathematics,

Physics and Chemistry. After leaving school, I attended the Orient Technical

College, where I first studied Fiber Technology and Color Chemistry; later I

studied other subjects related to textile manufacture, and in 1991 I obtained

the Diploma in Textiles.

After completing my studies, I joined the Top Clothing Company where I

worked until 1996. In that year I moved to Prior Productions, who was pleased

with my work, and as a result, in 1998, I was promoted to Assistant Works

Manager there.

I enjoy my work, and I am prepared to work hard. Moreover, I am sure that

Prior Productions would give me an excellent reference. I therefore feel that my

application deserves your serious consideration.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Mary Ma

我们的艺术老师没有很年轻，但是也不太老，他有黑色的头发，两只又大又黑的眼睛，小鼻子和大嘴巴。你看，他穿着蓝白色相间的外套，蓝色帽子，棕色的裤子和一双旧鞋子。他非常幽默。他是一个很好的艺术老师，我们都喜欢他。

李__：

你好！

好长时光没有见到你了，我十分想你，也十分想和你还有你的弟弟在一齐玩耍。你们在老家玩得开心吗？

李__，你要走的时候，都跟我说你在你的老家玩5天就会回来的，还拉过钩呢！可我等到了5天后，你和你的弟弟还没有回来；等到了7天后，你们的爸爸妈妈回来了，但就是你和你的弟弟却没回来。我就问了叔叔阿姨，他们说，你们要在老家玩一个暑假。我问你们，你们为什么要改变主意啊？

你们明白吗？此刻伙伴们都回老家过暑假了，院子里只剩下了我一个小朋友。每一天我做完了计划中的`每一件事情后，觉得孤单或无聊时，我就只有跑去我哥哥那里，找我哥哥李子豪和弟弟李宇翔他们玩。有时候，我们会一齐去黄金广场滑轮滑、或者看音乐喷泉；有时候，我们会到公司的游泳池里游泳消暑；有时候，我们又会趁着天还没有黑，一齐到外面欣赏晚霞……

但就是大多数时光，我只能呆在家里，或者跟着爸爸一齐上班。

你们走后，院子里安静多了，从没像往常一样热闹过。不明白你们什么时候回来那里？我真期望你和你的弟弟，还有其他小伙伴能早一点回到那里陪我玩。我每一天都在盼着你们回来。

祝你这个暑假过得愉快！

ear mr.wang,

i am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude. i am referring to that

unfortunate accident the other day, when i was knocked off my bike by a

taxi.

if it had not been for your timely assistance in giving me first aid, i

fear that the consequences might have been much serious. everyone agrees that it

was your quick-witted response in that emergency that has led to this

satisfactory outcome.

although nowadays people in mounting numbers talk about the need to be

unselfish, we see very few people practice what they preach. if there were more

people like you, the world would be a nicer place.

亲爱的会员朋友们：

大家好!

借着开创快乐宝童书馆博客的契机，和会员朋友们说说心里话。

转眼间快乐宝儿童书坊成立已经近半年了，这段时间很短，也很慢长。让我这个“经营”的门外汉，经历了很多“第一次”。让我懵懵懂懂的从为孩子提供优质图书的书店，到希望孩子减少负担，多读好书，成为真正的快乐宝贝，到现在筹建一所专业的社区儿童图书馆，为孩子提供一个平台，可以自由、快乐、平等。。。渐渐地我的思路越来越清晰。就像张德芬《遇见未知的自己》中说的那样，当你真心想要一样东西的时候，你身上散发出来的能量，会让全宇宙的人都来帮助你。我现在就是这个感觉，我的会员朋友们，公益儿童流动图书馆的创建者小陶子老师，公益儿童阅读导航的船长孙莉莉老师，我的一群朋友，以及全国和我一样，有着共同理想的同行朋友们，每时每刻都在帮助着我。谢谢你们!!给了我力量，让我越来越有信心，让我脚下的路越来越平坦。

有人说，全国开创儿童图书馆的人在做公益事业，其实我没有那么伟大的，办这个小店的初衷，是可以给我的儿子提拱这样一个环境，让他多接触孩子们，天天沉浸在书的海洋里。然而随着与家长朋友接触的频繁，让我发现，每天和家长朋友聊教育子女的心得，每天看到孩子天真的笑脸，我每天都在成长，每天都在开心着，其实我是最大的受益者啊。我希望通过借助朋友们的力量，让更多的家长朋友们了解孩子的心声，了解早期阅读给孩子带来的收获，通过丰富多彩的活动，让孩子在快乐中成长，并懂得如果适应千变万化的世界。

快乐宝童书馆正在积极打造中，请朋友们敬请期待吧，我相信随着小苗的诞生，花朵会慢慢绽放的。

最后，再一次谢谢各位朋友们!!!

此致

敬礼!

亲爱的朋友：

你好！

突然收到一封素不相识的人写来的信，你可能会觉得很奇怪吧！告诉你，这是我们举办的一次“写信”活动。虽然我们素不相识，虽然我们远隔千里，但我相信，这封信一定会让我们架起一座友谊的桥梁！

先做一个自我介绍吧。我是一个性格内向的男孩，今年11岁了。我的家乡在高淳，是一个美丽繁华的小县城，我就读于高淳县淳溪中心小学，正在上五年级。我的兴趣广泛，看书、下棋、上网都是我的爱好。

这次开展“写信”活动，把我们来自全国各地的小学生的距离拉近了。因为我们认为，在友谊的世界里，人与人之间是没有距离的。为了和你交朋友，我提笔写下了这封信。我也相信，这封信将跨过千山万水，为你送去一个新朋友的问候。

我先向你介绍我的家乡高淳吧！高淳，是一个风景秀丽的旅游胜地。它位于江苏省的西南端，东部和北部分别与溧阳、溧水毗邻，西南面与安徽省的当涂、宣州和郎溪三县接壤。这里有闻名全国的高淳老街，有美如仙境的湖滨广场，还有风景如画的湖滨大道,碧波荡漾的固城湖和波光粼粼的石臼湖,像两颗耀眼的明珠,镶嵌在高淳大地的南北两端。这些优美的景点吸引了许多游客，连众多外国朋友也慕名而来。高淳不但风景美，而且有特色佳肴---固城湖螃蟹。每年秋季家乡都会举办一次螃蟹节。随着县长一声令下,一年一度的螃蟹节拉开了隆重的序幕。四面八方的游客像潮水一样涌向高淳，美丽的风景和美味的固城湖螃蟹令他们乐不思蜀。高兴地告诉你，家乡的固城湖螃蟹在去年还“爬进”了上海美食节呢！我热情地欢迎你到我的家乡来玩，欣赏优美的风景，品尝美味的固城湖螃蟹。

信写完了，还总觉得有许多话要说。就写到这吧，我等待着你的来信。

祝你

学习进步！

Which is more important, health or wealth? When given this question, different people have varied answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life, while others see more advantages arising from wealth.

健康和财富，哪个更重要?当这个问题被提出来的时候，不同的人有不同的答案。有些人坚持认为，在我们生活中，健康扮演者更为重要的角色，然而其他人认为健康能带给我们更多利益。

The first group of people quote the old saying "Health is above wealth" to prove their idea. They argue that, on the one hand, a strong person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however, rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered.

支持健康更重要的人引用了一句俗语“健康就是财富”来证明他们的观点(是正确的)。他们认为，在某一方面来说，强壮的人，只要他们肯努力，那他们几乎能做任何事情。可是，从另一方面来说，如果有钱人活着的日子屈指可数的话，那他们将没法享受健康。

In contrast, the advocates of wealth have such arguments as follows. For one thing, wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful foods. For another, they can enjoy better facilities to improve their health. Take my neighbor, Lao Wang, as an example. He had a heart attack and is in hospital. However, he cannot afford the expensive operation, which costs as much as 100,000 yuan. Therefore, he has to lie in bed hopelessly. If he were a rich man, his life could be saved.

相反地，支持财富更为重要的人就有以下的争论。首先，有钱的人能买到更有益健康的食物。其次，他们可以享受能提高健康的设备。举个例子来说，我的邻居老王，他有严重的心脏病，并且正在住院(接受治疗)。可是，他没办法负担高达100，000的手术治疗费.因此，他只能毫无希望地躺在病床上。如果他是一个有钱人，那他就能得到治疗。

As far as I am concerned, both health and wealth are important to our life. We should try to strike a balance between them and gain wealth with a healthy body.

我认为，健康和财富对我们生活都很重要。我们应该努力试着在这两者之间做到平衡，并将财富与健康的身体相伴。

Dear my father and mother,

This letter is my inner feelings. I want to thank both of you for so many

years’ care and help.

During my growth, you have made a lot of efforts and love for me. When I

make a success, both of you are more excited than me, and support me to do

better. Even though I have failed, you always share sorrow with me and encourage

me not to give up. Especially, during my preparation for CET-4, the support from

you is always everywhere. I have passed the exam successfully.

You love is so unselfish that I am deeply affected, so I will study hard to

be a useful person and won’t make you disappointed. Anyway, I would like to

express the deep gratitude to you.

With best wishes.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

Dear Mr.Shakespeare ,

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude. i am referring to that

unfortunate accident the other day , when I was hit by taxi.

Although more and more people today talk about the need to be unselfish ,

we see very few people pracice what they preach. If there were more people like

you , this world would be a much nicer place.

尊敬的莎士比亚先生：

我写信是为了表达我衷心的感谢。我指的是那天我被出租车撞到的不幸事故。

当时如果不是那您及时伸出援手对我进行急救，恐怕后果会更严重。大家一致认为，正是您在那种紧急的情况下的机敏反应才带来这令人满意的结果。

尽管现在越来越多的人谈论无私的必要性，但是我们看到很少有人言行一致。如果有更多像您一样，这个世界将会更加美好。

您真诚的，

李明

老师：

您好，从我们班主任的口中得知你即将去美国留学，虽然我们不能阻止你前进的道路，带我们永远支持你!每个人都是自私的，我也一样，我依然舍不得你离开我们，虽然我们只相处一年，可是产生的暖厚感情是千言万语道不尽的，每当我们遇到难题时，你总是耐心的讲解，您的课总是讲的那么细，生怕我们听不明白，您就像我们的大姐姐一样，永远的和蔼可亲。

我希望你不要去美国，不要离开我们，我希望你能陪我们一起走过初中三年，可我不能这样做，因为我明白这是你人生的转折点，我很知足，也很幸运，因为一位英语中的佼佼者可以做我们的老师，叫我们知识。

虽然我们四班的同学在你的课上都很调皮，还经常给你捣乱，但我们四班是一个很重感情的班级，听到这个消息，大家都很难过，并一致决定要在您教我们剩下的日子里，做一个乖学生，我们真恨时间为什这么少，真恨为什么不好好珍惜和你在一起的时间，四班是一个可爱的班，四班是一个爱你的班。

你走的那天，我们一致要笑着送你走，可你刚进班，大家就都哭了，你和我们谈心，让我们好好学习，不要想她。

希望老师你能在这次美国之旅上一帆风顺，开心每一天，四班永远是你最坚强的后盾，不要忘记我们这些可爱的笑脸。

后记：这是一封迟到的信，已经过了一年了，我看到你在美国的照片了，古老的建筑，时尚的街道，各种不同的人，在美国的其他州旅行，看到你的发展和生活，我真为你感到高兴，你说过会在我们毕业前回来的，我一直很期望那一天，我们现在过得很好，你的英语口语是不是变得更好了，老师总说你很努力，很勤奋，才会走的这么远，我很羡慕你，我认为你就是我的偶像，那么的有能力，之前我在逅逅姐姐书中读到过美国，不同的教育，不同的社会体制，一个实现梦想的地方，那么的令我着迷，令我向往，我认为那离我太远，可看到你之后，又给了我希望，我要向你那样，走出这片天地!

Dear Sir,

I was very interested in your advertisement in todays edition of The

Evening Post and I should like to apply to be a member of the Amazon Expedition

team.

I am twenty-three years old and have an honors degree in Botany from Bath

University. Since leaving university I have been working in a research

laboratory but my contract comes to an end in six weeks. I would particularly

like to join the expedition for the opportunity it would give me to study the

plant life of the area.

I enjoy several outdoor activities including rowing and rock climbing and I

consider myself to be both fit and healthy enough to undertake such an

expedition.

If you would like me to attend an interview, I would be able to come at any

time convenient to you, (J1) my employers have agreed to give me time off for

the purpose. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Lily Ma

亲爱的朋友：

看到这封邮件时，我已经回珠海一段时间了。选择回珠海发展之于我比选择去任何一个陌生的城市都显得要困难，如果你还记得我从前一直都念叨着不要回珠海。珠海并不是那么讨厌的一个地方，甚至很多人看来都那么宜居，可于我而言，却总觉得这样一个城市少了点什么。不过，总归是回家了。

从新西兰回国后选择去清远发展是个让很多人摸不着头脑的路径，不过我知道自己要什么就好了。现在回想还是庆幸上一年那么拼命地努力让一切看起来那么值得回忆，拿项目获奖状这些现在回想起来其实都变得微不足道了，只是前两天，那个我去清远工作接待的第一个案主，那个双股骨头坏死需要换骨的女生终于做了手术可以自由行走，才觉得在清远奋斗的日子终于可以有一个完满的句号。

当我想要回珠海发展时，才觉得这个自己从小生活的地方竟然是这么陌生，不过为人子女终归要尽点责任，回家似乎从来就是无法避免的旅程。于是，所有的陌生又变得微不足道了。这些年，生活总是给我一道又一道的选择题，去台湾不去美国，去新西兰不留深圳，离开清远回珠海，每一个选择的背后都是一次成长，在社工的路上越走越远，在公益的路上开始有了自己的想法，这些于我而言其实都是这么珍贵！而庆幸这些年的成长，都可以和你分享。

而今，你看到这封邮件的时候，我又开始没日没夜地为自己的新计划努力了，在珠海开一家青年旅舍，听起来是不是和我从前做的各种事情一样各种不“靠谱”？呵呵呵，不过，我想你是了解我的。青年旅舍的近期计划中，有一项是“照片SHOW：见证梦想的旅图”，26岁的生日临近，如果我厚着脸皮让你“写下你的梦想，Email我一张照片”，我想，你习惯了我的恬不知耻吧？

流离浪荡了这么久，这个青旅总归有点家的感觉，下次聊天不在篮球场就来我家吧，呵呵呵……好奇心不死，折腾劲不灭，我折腾着回珠海了。

Dear Mary,

I am sorry to trouble you, but nobody would come into my mind to help me except you.

You know, I had planned this holiday for several years. A t last, my dream came true. You could imagine how excited I was. My mind was completely occupied with the holiday. I forgot to collect my laundry. I dont know if you can help me collect my laundry. I sent the laundry to the Johns. It is the one down the corner on St. Peters Street. You cant miss it, because the house is painted green-a big green house. I have got two pairs of trousers, three shirts, one T-shirt and a blanket. Call a taxi to send you home. I will pay you back when I am home.

My first stop is London. It is raining. The streets are very clean. How I wish I could have the chance to see the famous London fog. But someone told me that was already the history. One can only read things like that about London in books.

My best wishes to you.

Yours sincerely, Peter Chen

亲爱的朋友：

记得你上次来信时，你抱怨父母总是管东管西，让你一点自由都没有，你也因为此苦恼了很久。

其实，父母对我们的限制也是一种关爱，只是这份深深沉的爱让父母太过于警惕，他们担心你受到一丝一毫的伤害，也可能是你最近不在状态，父母担心你在学习和生活上会有影响。

但抱怨归抱怨，但解决问题的最终方式是应该亲近父母、了解父母。

有句俗话说“百善孝为先”，孝敬父母，不需要像古代弃官寻母那样轰轰烈烈，也不需要像今天的捐肾救母那样令人折服，我们只需要为父母做一些小事。

当父母工作繁忙时，自己煮饭，替父母分担家务；当与父母意见不统一时心平气和的一起讨论；当自己犯错时，主动向他们道歉。

父母为了我们开心健康的生活付出了很多，当他们劳累时，动一动手给他们搬一把椅子休息；当他们口渴时，用双手递给他们一杯水；当他们难过时，动一动嘴，把安慰的话语讲给他们听。

孝敬父母如此简单，我们何乐而不为呢？

请多留一点时间给父母，爱并不是1-1＝0，而是1-1＞2的伟大方程式。

相信你会和父母和谐相处的。

期待……

你的朋友：刘星宇

Dear Friend,

亲爱的朋友，

How have you been recently? I miss you very much. Do you still remember me?

最近过得怎么样?我很想你。你还记得我吗?

To be honest, Im honored to make friends with you. I still remember the days when we were together. As far as I know, you are the kindest person in the world. Once we were together, you always treated me as if I were your dear brother, so I was grateful to you in my heart. After you leaving, I always thought of you. Next time we have a chance to see each other, I will say "thank you" to you. Thank you for your kindness. Now I have got the meaning of my life.

老实说，我很荣幸成为你的朋友。我还记得我们在一起的日子。我觉得你是世界上最善良的人。我们在一起的时候，我们总是亲如兄弟，所以在我的心里我很感激你。你离开后，我总是想起你。下一次如果我们有机会见到对方，我会对你说“谢谢你”。谢谢你的善良。让我现在的人生有了意义。

Although we are in two different places now, we are still together, because we are always heart to heart. I believe we can see each other again. Since we are always close friends as well as dear brothers. Because of you, my life is always so significant. Wherever I am, I will pray good luck for you.

虽然现在我们在两个不同的地方，但我们依然在一起，因为我们总是心连心。我相信我们还能再次见面。 因为我们是亲密的朋友，亲爱的兄弟。因为你，我的人生总是那么的有意义。无论我在哪里，我都会为你祈祷好运。

Last but not the least, I hope you can make it and have a bright future.

最后但并非最不重要的是我希望你能有一个光明的未来。

Sincerely yours,

Dear Freshmen,

I, the undersigned, am a senior in the Computer Science Department of Tsinghua University. I would like to say a few words to you, which I hope would be helpful to you.

To begin with, the change of ideas is of most importance for freshmen to adapt themselves to campus life. During the middle school days, we usually depend upon our teachers at school and parents at home.

However, the life and study on university campus features independence, which is essential to our psychological development. In my view, we had better always bear in mind the idea of independence.

What’s more, English learning is a must. On one hand, without CET 4 certificate, we can not get our degree when we graduate from university. On the other hand, when we hunt for job, English level is a deciding factor. Therefore, I do hope that all of you will have a good understanding of the necessity of learning English well.

Good Luck to you!

Sincerely Yours

Dear Xiao Wang,

I am delighted to know that you will be able to visit me for a week during

the National Day holiday. I am looking forward to your visit and to the

opportunity to catch up. Welcome to my home in Nanjing!

As you know, Nanjing has many places of interest to see, to discover, and

to enjoy. Among its historical sites are stone city wall, the Confucius Temple

with its magnificent night view, and Dr. Sun Yetsens Mausoleum. With all its

universities, Nanjing is a cultural center, offering an abundance of artistic

and musical performances. Its also a city of beautiful gardens and parks, such

as the Xuanwu Lake Park. With all these features, we will have a fun-filled

week, especially that in early-October, there are many sunny and mild days for

outdoor activities. So, I would suggest visiting these places first, and

deciding on the others as our week develops.

Finally, since at this time of the year the weather gets a little chilly in

the evening, I would suggest that you bring some warm clothing with you. Also,

as there will be crowds of people at the stations and on the trains, you need to

be very careful with your belongings!

Best wishes for a pleasant journey!

Yours,

Zhang Ying

_中医一附院的领导：

你们好!

今天我怀着万分感激的心情给你们写这封信，感谢贵医院的一位好医生，他把病人当成了自己的亲人，他的医德医风令人敬佩令人感动，他的热情深深的感染了我们!使我们再也无法抑制自己的感激之情，为了表达我们对他的敬意与谢意特拿起笔来给你们写这封感谢信!

我的父亲已经年过80，一直身体都无大碍，可是于20_年_月发现血尿，这令我们全家人陷入了担忧、苦闷、焦急的心情低谷，奔走了数家医院，几乎医生在检查后都给与了不太乐观的诊断，并且都是住院开刀治疗。而且父亲本人的情绪也是日渐低落。

父亲从发现血尿起，尝试了许多药物，都没有明显的改善，在面临这父亲这样高龄能不能够接受开刀治疗的问题上，我们左右为难，就在这样不知所措的时候，我们遇到了贵医院的_x主任，能遇到这样的好医生真是我们修来的福分。x主任待人和蔼可亲，耐心细致的询问病情，安抚病人的情绪。在了解了父亲的病情后，他准确下方，针对父亲的病情给予了有效的治疗，令我们既欣喜又意外的是，服药一周后，血尿完全没有了。除此之外，他还耐心的指导我们怎样护理病人。他总是微笑面对每一位病人，对每位患者都是那样的热情那样的关心，使我们一见到他就像见到了自己的亲人，就像见到了一个大救星!

x主任精湛的医术让父亲避免的手术的痛苦和危险，对病人耐心负责的态度更让我们患者家属更加充满了信心，这样的医生才是老百姓心目中名副其实的好医生。把病人交付给这样一个认真负责又热情的医生手里，我们真是一百个放心!

声声的道谢都无法表达我们对_x主任的感激之情，就让这封信略表一下我们对x主任的一片敬意吧!他的工作热情，他的为人令我们敬佩!他不愧为白衣天使!我们深为贵医院能有这样的好医生而感到骄傲和自豪!

希望贵医院能够接受我们这片敬意与谢意!让_x主任这种把病人当做自己的亲人，急病人之所急，救死扶伤的精神永远发扬光大!

最后让我们向x主任深深地鞠上一躬!说声：谢谢!向贵医院深深地鞠上一躬!道声：谢谢!

此致

敬礼!

dear peter,

i’m surprised this kind of thing should happen in your country. here in china parents usually take their children to all kinds of crash courses after class, which are supposed to help them get top grades in all exams. but in my family my parents treat me as their friend and won’t put too much pressure on me and allow me to develop my own interest in art, music and sports. so i’m pretty lucky in this aspect. i suggest that you have a heart-to-heart talk with your parents and tell them that they should set high standards, reward achievement but not punish poor performance. i’m sure they will understand you sooner or later.

yours,

Dear Tom,

Im just writing to let you know that were all well, and I hope you are, too. Unfortunately, Ive got some rather bad news for you: Im afraid I made a bit of a mess of Johns car. Anyway, heres what happened.

We were on our way to Carols after a long party, and I suppose it must have been about eleven o’clock. Well, the last few miles back home were really dark and deserted. I now realize I was probably going a bit too fast for a country lane because, although the road was fairly straight, I drove up onto the curb and went into a tree.

Of course, John was absolutely furious and started shouting at me and cursing. After we d argued for a few moments, we decided to look at the damage, and he calmed down a bit. Well, we found we could move the car, but the wing was caught on the wheel, so we couldnt drive it. I tried to pull the wing clear, but I didnt succeed.

Anyway, John went off to phone for a breakdown lorry, but while he was away, I had another go at the wing and this time succeeded in pulling it right off. I threw it onto the back seat, and by that time John got back and we were ready to go?so we didnt need the breakdown lorry at all. John has more or less forgiven me now, but he was very angry with me for a few days. I suppose I was a bit careless.

Well, thats all for now. Next time I write I hope Ill have better news for you.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Chen
