Dear friends,
How time flies! Two years have passed since Mrs Brown came to our school to teach us English. Now she has completed her work successfully and will leave for home tomorrow.
Mrs Brown is very strict with us. She is very kind and never tired of helping us in our studies. Her teaching is lively and interesting. We all like to attend her lectures.
Now I will, on behalf of all the students, express our gratitude to Mrs Brown for her remarkable work. We wish her a pleasant journey and good health.

A Letter Expressing Gratitude
July 6, 1990
Dear Mary,
I am returning you the guide-book which you lent me six months ago. I am very thankful to you, for it was a great help to me. It was with the help of this book that I was able to visit many places.
I am sure that I would have been lost many times if it had not been for this book. Besides, I learned a lot about the history of those places. Thank you again.
With best wishes.
Yours,
Sally

Dear President,
It is a great honour for me to introduce to you one of my very best student, Miss Shen Ming, a 21-year-old graduate of our institute this year. Miss Shen entered our institute in 1985 and she has ever since been hard-working at her lessons and made rapid progress. During the four years of study, she has always ranked high in her class. In 1987, she came out first at the National College Students English Speech Contest. Coming from a family of English teachers, Miss Shen has a particular interest in the teaching of English. It is her wish to further her studies on linguistics, methodology as well as on the English language. It will certainly be of great help to her if she could have such a chance in your Institute .
