一下寫作(1) Thank-you Letter

記得上次寫的someone who inspired me嗎?有不少同學寫出很感人的內容喔!但是,你曾經向這些人表達過感謝之意嗎?還是只有藏在心裡,讓對方永遠沒有得到回饋呢?

It's time to take action and express your gratitude. 請拿筆寫下你感謝函(是真的要寄出去的,所以請不要亂掰),一般可分為三部分:

1. 問候,介紹自己: Dear XXXX, I am ****, your student last year. .....

2. 說明對方曾為你做的事和對你的影響:這時就可參考下面附的句型和第二課單字

3. 感謝和祝福:一般就是 Truly yours, Sincerely yours, 後面簽名,但你可以多寫一些祝福的話語,請參考本文末介紹的網站。


Thank you for + N/V-ing....

It's very nice of you to V....

I can't thank you enough.

Thanks a million.

Many thanks.

How (very) kind of you.

I don't know how to thank you.

I appreciate your help.

I am very grateful to you.

Thank you. You've been such a big help!

底下是課本的一個範例,可參考,但不需模仿寫得文謅謅,而且都是空話,收到也不會太感動。切記要寫出具體的事件,真誠的想法比較重要。

Thank you for being my best friend, Eda.

What you always give to me

Is support, help, care

And most important, friendship.

But how can I do this

In ways that equal yours?

Now, I would like to give you

Something that can't be bought in stores.

What I want to give you

Is only a simple phrase.

What I want to give you

Is a simple, kind "thank you."

  1. 可以寫跟上一次同樣的人??

  2. 當然可以
    本來就很有可能是同一人
    但是要注意上次是作文
    這次是直接要寫給對方的信
    人稱和文體都不同
