I am so grateful to have a wonderful teacher like you. Under your careful guidance last year, I made a rapid progress in English. The encouraged atmosphere in your class helped me voice my opinions freely, that has greatly enhanced my speaking fluency.

For further improvement, I hope to interact with you less in class. Discussions in pairs or groups does help us, but your timely feedback can allow us to improve your learning effect. What’s more, it is thoughtfully of you to speak slowly. So the faster speed which you talk with other native speakers may better sharpen our listening skills.

I sincerely hope these suggestion will be useful. Looking forward to your wonderful lessons next semester.

Yours,

Learn to Play Table-tennis

I still remember how I became the good table tennis player. The first day I went to high school, I see some of my classmates playing table tennis. Amazing at how skillful they were, I was determined to be just as better. Later on, I often watched them careful to learn their techniques. Then I kept practiced until I became confident enough challenge the good players. Finally, I became one of the best player in my class.

I am really proud of this experience, because it helps me realize why we can achieve our goals and through hard work.

I don't think my school life is colorful, because I've got such many classes every day. I wonder that it will change or not someday. From Monday to Friday, I had to stay at school. The only relaxation is to listen the radio or play ball games. At weekends, you need to have classes, too. I know studying hardly is important for me now. Therefore, as the saying goes, “ All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. " I want to get close to the nature. I hope I can take part in more activities such as visit museums, joining various club and so on.

Today was my father's birthday, which was so a big day for me that I wanted to give him surprise. My father always gave me that I wanted. He was busy but tried her best to do something for me. Actual, he was a great father for me. I told my mother that I wanted to make a dish for my father and she is very happy to teaching me. So when I went home after school, I rushed to the kitchen, prepared for the food. With my mother's help, I was very confident. When my father went home, he was very happy and praised for me a lot. He said this was the biggest presents he had received.

Last month, my good friend Mark got expensive watch as his birthday present. He showed it to everyone in the class proud. I really envied of him, so I also asked my mum to buy me an expensive birthday present. However, to her disappointment, I only got a second-hand bike on that special day. One day while I am riding my “dear”bike back home from school, I passed the shop that my mum worked. I saw a familiar figure kneeling in front of the shop, cleaned the outside steps. It was my mum! She worked so harder to raise me! Tear in my eyes, I got off the bike but worked together with her.

I’m sorry to say that I cannot attend on the Chinese paper-cutting show in the Folk Art Museum on Sunday morning as I promise. I am writing to express my sincerely apology to you.

The reason why I will not be available is because my uncle is coming from America on Sunday Mornings. So my family is going to the airport to meet him, but then we will have a family dinner together. I think we can enjoy a show on Sunday afternoon if it is convenient for you. I hope the change will bring too much trouble to you.

I’m looking forward to yours early reply.
