感谢朋友的英语作文以信的方式(汇编20篇)

_x医院_科的全体护士：

你们好!

我是_床病人_，2019年x月x日

入院当天，我和我的同事病情非常糟糕，一个两臂4处骨折，一个膝盖软组织严重撕裂，手术之后，我们几乎生活不能自理。当时由_至_的公路严重受损，家人因此也不方便来照顾，唯一的陪护人也因为处理事故资料不能时刻陪在我们身边，我们就像没有亲人的孤儿一样孤立无助。这时候，你们做了所有你们应该做的，甚至是你们本不应该做的你们也毫不犹豫的做了，给我们盖被子、借轮椅、端茶送水……是你们用爱心、耐心、细心、责任心照顾我们;用自己无私、无畏、甘于奉献的精神，用自己的出色工作和真诚付出，给了我们希望和温暖;一顶洁白的燕尾帽承载了所有的平凡和艰辛，赢得了病人们的广泛尊重和美好声誉。

传说中，爱就是天使的翅膀，无论在哪个年代，善良和爱心始终是支撑人性的基石。这世上的每一个人都具备爱的能力，但愿人们都能无私地奉献一点爱心，关爱他人、庇护弱者;但愿人们与生俱来的天使之翼，能托起一片爱的天空，感动你我，温暖世界。在这，我向护士说一声谢谢!人非草木，岂能无情?一想起她们，我的心中就充满了感激之情，真心谢谢你们无私的照顾!祝你们工作顺利，好人会有好报的!

此致

敬礼!

亲爱的小朋友：

你们好!

我是深圳市清湖小学五(1)班的李_睿，我是一个活泼可爱的小男孩，也许你和我一样是一个活泼的小男孩，也许你是一个开朗的小女孩，虽然我们素不相识，但我愿意将一颗真诚、渴望友情的心给你们。

我曾经在电视上看到过你们瘦弱的身影、无助的眼神。同时看到了你们的学校，一间间破旧的房子，黑乎乎的墙壁，破烂不堪的桌子，没有电灯，剥落掉漆的黑板，甚至只能用土块来代替粉笔写字，这一切是我们无法想像的。可是你们在这么艰苦、贫困的条件下仍然努力学习、渴求知识，这种精神值得我敬佩。

回头看看我们自己，宽敞明亮的教室，崭新的桌椅，学习文具更是各式各样，有功能各异的笔、色彩斑斓的书包。可我们身在“福中不知福”，过着饭来张口、衣来伸手的生活。和你们相比，我是多么地自愧不如。

这次通过学校开展的“手拉手”的活动，让我们走到了一起，成为好朋友。一方有难，八方支援，我们将响应这个活动,并积极参与。也许我们捐助的物品微不足道，也许是一支笔、也许是一本书、也许是平时积攒的硬币，但里面包含着我们对你们的爱心和友谊。当你们收到物品时，一定能感受到社会大家庭的温暖。

最后让我们一起“手拉手”，在学习上互相帮助，取长补短，与你们共同进步!

祝你们：

学习进步!

亲爱的新疆小朋友：

你好!

我来自于浙江省瑞安市的一位小学生，我叫戴天祯。我就读于瑞安第二实验小学五(4)班。我们学校是一个美丽的校园，有长满花草树木的天井花园，也有高大的教学楼。我们的班级，同学们十分友好，是一个文明的班级。

我有一个充满爱的家庭。弟弟妹妹、爸爸妈妈、爷爷奶奶，一家和和睦睦。弟弟妹妹活泼可爱，乱蹦乱跳。我是一个活泼开朗的小女孩，我喜欢运动。我爱画画、书法。虽然我有许多优点，但是我的缺点却一大堆：粗心、丢三落四、懒惰等等。记得有一次数学考试，我说：“我一定会考一百分。”可是没想到，等第二天试卷发下来，我只考了95分，我的心情一下子从晴空万里跌到了乌云密布。仔细一看，原来应用题里数字抄错扣了5分。这是粗心的我。

我爱自己的家乡---浙江省温州市。那里有高楼杨梅，陶山甘蔗，湖岭牛肉......这儿有清清的小溪，高高的山。风景优美的寨寮溪，清晰如镜的飞云江，收藏着许多书的玉海楼。我的家乡物产丰富，家乡人民的感情友好。广场上，大家又跳又玩。如果有兴趣的话，可以到我们这参观参观，玩一玩哦!

我有两只大眼睛，一张能说会道的大嘴巴。也许你也是一个无忧无虑的女孩，或是一个有着远大志向的男孩，不管怎么样，希望你能融如到温州这个大家庭里，与我们一起手拉手，让我们一起等待那一天的到来。

远方的新疆小朋友，我们一起在同一个国家生活，就会创造出更美好的明天。如果你愿意与我做朋友，那你就回信吧。让我们一起创造一个更加美好的21世纪吧!

祝你

好好学习，天天向上!

Dear Mr Li，

I’m very excited to write to express my thanks to you。 I am now a freshman

of Wuhan University， which I have been dreaming about。 Mr Li， I still remember

the days when you taught me English。 My English has been improved greatly

because of your creative work。 However， at one time， the pressure of

examinations， too much homework and the high expectations made me depressed。 I

was tired of the warning that if I didn’t do my best， I wouldn’t have the chance

to go to college。 Thanks for your encouragement; if not， I wouldn’t have

realized my dream。 And now I really understand you。 I wish more and more of your

students could go to their ideal colleges。 Are you still so busy? How I miss

you!

Hoping to hear from you soon。

Yours，

Li Hua

A letter to a Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

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

[给朋友的一封信_英语作文

Dear friend,

I am a thirteen-year-old Chinese girl. My Chinese name is Jian Jie. Jane is my English name. I can speak Chinese and a little English. I can teach you Chinese if you like. And you can teach me English. Do you want to be a teacher student?

My favorite movies are Happy Feet and Cars. Do you like them? Red and yellow are my favorite colors. What are your favorite colors? I often play tennis on Saturday and Sunday. It is my favorite sport. What sport do you like?This is me, a Chinese girl. I want a pen pal in the U.S.A.

Lets be friends!OK?

Jane

远方的朋友：

你好!

当你收到信时，我想你一定会很奇怪吧!你是谁?在哪个小学?在哪个城市?告诉你吧!我叫漪潼，我来自莞城实验小学，我的家乡在东莞，那是一个充满诗情画意的人间天堂。有风景优美的黄山旗公园，有很大的人民公园，还有一所一所的大学校……黄山旗公园是个景色优美的公园。每到十五,这里人山人海，甚至连蚂蚁都很难从人群里爬出来，因为那里有许多的人拜神呢!尤其节假日的晚上，华灯齐放，礼花飞舞，人们翩翩起舞，纵情歌唱，鲜花与彩灯辉映，礼花伴歌声齐飞，黄山旗公园沸腾起来了!我建议让我们举行一个“手拉手”活动，让我们帮助你们吧!因为在一偶然的机会，我在电视上看到了你们那边的生活环境。让我们捐一点书，钱给你们吧!

为了加深我们的友谊，我决定把我最喜欢的几本书介绍给你，希望你喜欢：《格列佛游记》作品的主人公里梅尔?格列佛是个英国外科医生，后升任船长;他受过良好教育，为祖国而自豪，在职业和政治两方面似乎都颇有见识，可是他本质上却是一个平庸的人，而斯威夫特正是利用了主人公的这种局限达到了最充分的讽刺效果。全书由四卷组成，在每一卷中格列佛都要面临常人难以想象的特殊情况。《西游记》唐僧、孙悟空、猪八戒、沙和尚。意志坚强的唐僧;武功高强、机智灵活的孙悟空;贪吃贪睡、不动脑筋的猪八戒;任劳任怨、不辞辛苦的沙和尚。他们经历了九九八十一难,终于突破重重难关,取得真经。

祝学习进步!

Dear teacher

Hello! First of all, I wish you a happy Spring Festival and a happy

family!

Time like water, five years of primary school is fleeting. In these five

years, it is you who have given us the blue sky, let us fly freely in the ocean

of knowledge, it is you who have given us sunshine and let us open like

flowers.

I still remember that on the first day of entering the school, our first

Chinese teacher and the first head teacher of my primary school, Ruan, led us to

visit the campus. I was most impressed by her bright laughter and warm eyes. Mr.

Zhu, a lovely math teacher, is very vivid in class. There is also mis Wang, our

English teacher. She is the spirit of our class. At Christmas, she came to our

classmates with a bag of presents on her back. At this moment, your smiling

faces flash in front of my eyes.

After entering the fourth grade, we have to change teachers. Looking at

each others eyes, we are sad. At this time, a small pink figure on the

platform, a baby face, is a pair of bright eyes. Fashion clothing, bright colors

suddenly lit up our small eyes. This is the second head teacher of my primary

school --- Mr. Zhao Ying. Mr. Zhao teaches us how to be a human being ten

minutes before class every day. Tell us that it is not important to win or lose

once, but to never give up and stick to it. Our math teacher is as quick as a

gust of wind, speaking fast, marking homework fast. My slow temperament is often

confused by this speed.

Our English teacher Mr. Wangs decomposition learning method makes me no

longer hate English.

Dear teachers, over the past five years, you have been making great efforts

to educate us. You are like a big tree, and we are thriving in your shade. You

have given us the same care as our mother, which makes me feel extremely happy

and makes me interested in learning,

Yes, sometimes you are very strict with us, and you are often strict with

us. You also often teach us lessons and be responsible for us. Even if we have a

little bit of mistakes, you will find out. But I know that you are for us to

learn better and deeper, so that we can have great achievements in the

future.

Teacher, thank you for your serious and responsible education, thank you

for your concern for us, thank you for teaching us a lot of knowledge, thank you

for your selfless dedication to us, a thousand and ten thousand "thank you" can

not express my gratitude to you!

I wish teachers:

Healthy and beautiful forever!

Your student: Zhou Kexin

敬爱的夏老师：

您好!时光如白驹过隙，转眼间两年过去了，您作为班主任陪伴我们的点点滴滴在这毕业之际又浮现在我的眼前。

回想这两年来，您为我们洒下多少汗水，花了多少心血，您会为我们着想，会关心每一位学生。您在炎炎夏日的灯下，为我们批改作业的背影是那样美丽。

我记得，在疫情过后，我们六年级下册正式开学的时候，您怀孕了。美术老师告诉我们，您本来可以辞去班主任这个职务，可以安心做英语老师，也能安心养胎，也不会再那么辛苦的带我们这一届毕业生了。可是您没有，您依旧挺着肚子带我们去操场做操，去食堂吃饭，去校门口带我们放学，马上就要毕业了，但我真的很铭记这些时刻。

在这两年里，您不像是一位班主任老师，更像是我们成长路上的一位知心好友，为我们排忧解难，倾听我们的心声;更像是我们的母亲，会在我们生病难受时关心我们，给予我们温暖。您会用心的为我们操办六一的美食节，也会自己掏腰包为我们发奖励。

虽然要毕业了，我们马上就要各奔东西，去不同的学校，我还是会记得，您对我们的各种好，各种爱!

祝您

家庭幸福，永远永远都没有烦恼!

爱您的学生

There was once a little boy called Nick that wanted to help everyone in

order to save money for the new automatic toy review.

After a few months of research, he had finally discovered that there was

going to be a big storm and the whole town was going flood. He decided that

today is the day he gets the automatic toy reviewer. After a few minutes he

drove his automatic train car which has many buttons outside; it was just right

for the flood began to flow all around the town.

The news reporter station was just about to report the news when suddenly a

strange noise came from just around the corner, what was it? Was it an automatic

train to save them; that was in it? And what harm could it to themselves. They

stood still until always the sound came bigger and louder every second the time

passes; at last the automatic train car appeared and in sat a little boy who was

Nick.

Everybody knew that Nick couldn’t harm them with the train car, but it was

true; Nick was not going to harm but instead is going to save the whole town,

everybody began to cheer. Some of the townspeople even came near to help Nick;

for they didn’t want to be drowned either.

When the flood was gone, the storm stopped, and the townspeople were all

saved. They thanked Nick. But Nick still didn’t see any people giving him money

as a “thank you.” All they did was telling the news reporter and reported Nick

on the news. Everybody enjoyed it except Nick, for what he wanted was the

automatic toy reviewer.

After the news was finished they ran to Nick’s house, Nick didn’t want to

answer fro he thought of what they were going to say. It was already dawn which

was almost time for watching TV. Everybody begged Nick to let them in. Nick

decided just for this once.

When he opened the door he found people standing outside the door with

purses in their pockets and smiles on their faces. Nick knew that they were not

here to give him money to but eh automatic toy reviewer; but it wasn’t true,

what the people did was to hand out their personal purses to Nick. Nick knew at

once that he barked up the wrong tree about the townspeople; all he really

wanted to the automatic toy reviewer; he received their purses and at last

bought the automatic toy reviewer. That train car which Nick drove out to save

the other people; this was his only one invention.

敬爱的吴老师：

您好!不久,我已经踏上六年级的阶梯.吴老师,您为我们付出了许多汗水.今天我在这里和您谈谈心里话.

您是一位关心学生的好老师.记得有一次,我班的一位同学由于身体不舒服,在课堂上有些头晕.当消息传到您的耳中时.您就叫那位学生扒在桌面上好好休息,给他一杯热水,还向他问寒问暖.

还有一次,您给我们讲课时,一会打哈欠,一会揉揉鼻子,我们都知道,我们都明白,是你的感冒使得你如此.我想：“吴老师,您怎么不在讲台上休息一会儿呢?”可是我知道,您是为了我们而在顽强地给我们讲课……

在将近期末考试的时候,老师比我们更为紧张,所以常常放学后多上一节课,给我们补课.有些学生埋怨老师不应该放学留下.但您不在乎听他们所讲的话.时时帮助不会的学生,教他们解决的方法,给他以容易的理解,让他能够明白.我们遇到不会的问题便向您请教,您也耐心地给予我们讲解.

北京的小朋友：

你好!我参加了一个“手拉手”的活动，所以我想给你——远方的小朋友写一封信。

虽然我们未曾见过面，但我非常想把我那颗真诚的、渴望友谊的心献给你——远方的小朋友。哦!对了!我叫张朱喆，今年十一岁半，有一头超炫的小黄毛，有一双魅力的小眼睛。最令我自豪的是，我有高大挺秀的身材，全身布满着运动细胞，我喜欢参加有关运动类的活动。

我非常羡慕你们北京的小朋友。因为北京有雄伟壮观、蜿蜒盘旋的万里长城，历史悠久的故宫，还有美丽壮观的立交桥。写到这里，我就想迫不及待的想和你见面，听你们说说还有什么美不胜收的景点和让人垂涎三尺的美食。让我们拉上友谊的小手，一起等待我们见面的那一天吧!

经过我们热烈的讨论，这次的“手拉手“活动有以下几点内容：

第一，互访活动，你们可以来我的家乡，在湖北荆州，那里的风景美不胜收，空气是那么清新，天空是那么明朗。鱼糕、辣肠，都是我们家乡的特产。我们那里是一座古城，所以有很多旅游景点，比如说有历史悠久的关公庙，高大雄伟的大关公雕像，还有游乐胜地——万达广场。如果有机会，我可以当你的小导游带你游玩我的家乡。

第二，带你们去我的学校，我在广东顺德的__小学读书，学校里书声琅琅、鸟语花香、空气新鲜。有宽阔的操场，有种满奇花异草的植物园，如果你来的话，我会带你来参观我的学校，一起学习，并且互相交流把!

我的计划怎么样?假如你愿意，请尽快回信，让我们再次拉上友谊的小手，一起去等待见面的那一天吧!

祝你：

学习进步!

Dear principal:

Hello! Is the body coming in well?

headmaster! Have you found any shortcomings in the school recently? At the

back of the school there is a trail to the outside of the school. Sometimes when

the last class is physical education, some people go back from there first; when

the school door is not open at noon, some students enter the school from there,

disturbing other students to take a nap.

headmaster! In the middle of the teaching building and the laboratory

building, there are two lawns. When spring and summer come, a lot of grass will

grow, making it impossible for people to play on it. headmaster! I suggest that

you turn those two lawns into lotus ponds with pavilions and paths. When the

students have finished a few classes, they are a little tired, so they can rest

on it; relax. In this way, you will have sufficient energy in class and listen

carefully.

Wish: Good health and smooth work!

Sincerely,

Your student:

尊敬的校长：

您好!进来的身体是否很好?

校长!最近您有没有发现学校不足的地方?在学校的后面有一条小道可同往学校外。在有时是最后一节课是体育课时，有人就从那儿先回去了;中午午睡时学校的大门还没有开，有些同学就从那儿进了学校，打扰别的同学午睡。

校长!在教学楼和实验楼的中间，有两块草坪。每当春夏季节来临时，就会长出许多的草，让人无法在上面嬉戏。校长!我建议您把那两块草坪修成荷花池，上面有亭子和小道。当同学们上完几节课时，有点累了，就可以在上面休息;放松一下心情。这样在上课就会有充分的精神，认真听讲。

祝：身体健康，工作顺利!

你的学生：

凤影小朋友：

你好!

我们虽然从未见过面，但我渴望和你做朋友，我一定会用一颗真诚、火热的心去对待你、我之间的友谊。你仔细瞧一瞧，“朋”字不就是两个月亮坐在空中快乐地嬉戏、交谈吗?那月光，那源源不断、柔和明美的月光就像一条无形的纽带把我们连接在一起，这条“纽带”叫友谊。此时此刻，我们俩就像那两轮月亮，正幸福、快乐地用笔在纸上互相倾诉、交流着，把自己的喜怒误哀乐一一诉说。

学校，是学生们的“第二个家”，你的学校是什么样子呢?告诉你一个好消息，我们的学校要重建了，所以我们搬到了新校区。穿过一条热闹的大街，在小版们的吆喝声被“甩”到身后时，隐于浓浓绿荫里的校门越来越清晰了起来。几棵高大的松树像一个个卫士守候着校园，不进地挥舞着长矛。相比而言，那些小叶榕就温柔多了，它们喜欢和着风姑娘的音乐翩翩起舞，真是婀娜多姿啊!我们的教室宽敞明亮，总是被各种各样的手抄报、画儿装点得五彩缤纷，真是美丽极了。在教室的一角中，有一个木头书柜立于门旁，那儿“装载”了无穷无尽的知识和哲理，这儿也是我最喜欢的地方，一下课，我就会找机会到这儿呆上很久。我们的教室有大大的玻璃窗，由窗外流进来的空气清新极了，风儿、阳光也喜欢常常钻进来听课。这一切，都是那样让人感到快乐，那样使人称心如意!

校园，自然就有无忧无虑的小学生。我们班的同学个个都有一技之长，有的会唱歌;有的绘画很了得;有的舞蹈很棒;有的会踢足球;还有的棋艺深厚……我们班有上进的班长贻凌;聪明绝顶的小渔儿;“百灵鸟”天赐;待人礼貌的赞赞;活泼开朗的我和慢吞吞的“蜗牛公主”莎莎。欢迎你到我们这儿来，我相信，你也一定会喜欢上她们，和她们也成为朋友的!

你的学校是什么样子的呢?你长得什么样?你有兄弟姐妹吗?这一切，都是一个大大的问号?我期待着你的回信!如果你也什么困难也可以找我哦，我一定会心力帮你的!

祝

我们的友谊像百合一样纯洁，像玖瑰一样热情奔放!
