Letter of thanks

時間過得很多，一個學期快將結束了。過程中心情起伏跌宕。既要適應日常生活，又要重新適應新的學習環境，學習要求。又怕測試不合格，畢竟學費貴得驚人。不過，無論怎樣，我的英語水平程度都有了很大的提升。而且，漸漸地，對這兒的生活不再太大的抗拒。心，開始安靜下來。找回了自信，笑聲，感恩之心油然而生。在學期快將結束的此刻，對於兩位在加國首次接觸的老師真的有點不舍。曾幾何時，自己所信奉的：“朋友間的認識，隻是每人在漫長旅途中的譯站。當大家分開的時候，也就是各自上路的時候。”但此刻內心也是別有一番滋味。不久前，寫了一封感謝信給她們，感謝她們給予我莫大的鼓勵，不論在生活或學習上。

Dear （JOAN，LNYETTE）

I am writing to express my thanks to you.

As a new immigrant, we have to face many difficulties as we have to get used to the new society and the language. I ever tried to find some entry level jobs, but I found it was very hard to find a good job if I can not speak English well. So I decided to learn the language first. To me, that is an investment as it takes time and costs money. Fortunately, I have made the right choice. In Kwantlen, I got to know you, such a nice teacher and so many nice classmates. You are an excellent teacher, you are so nice and helpful. Every time I have trouble in my study, you are always happy to help me with patience. I know there is still a long way for me to crack English. But now I have become more confident. I am glad to say I have made some progress after one semester study. Before I joined this course, I did not dare to talk in English, but now I can use English in my daily life.

So here I would like to say “Thank you so much, thank you for your help and encouragement” I will keep working hard until I succeed.

Best regards

Yongyi(Winny) Xie

她們各自回信了：

Winny:
Thank you for your kind note.
Of course I have really appreciated having you in the class. I can always count on you and a few others to have done their work!

I know that you will make good progress in your English studies.

I also know that you live in Richmond, so you may not come to the Surrey campus next September when I have my next classes. Do keep in touch by email and let me know how you are doing!

Joan



Dear Winny,

Thank you so very much for your kind words.  I'm sure that if you continue to work hard and find opportunities to speak and listen to English everyday, you will achieve your goals and speak English while working in your dream job!
