Dear Teacher Li,

Thank you very much for teaching us so many wonderful lessons, as well as the tips and tricks for AP Chinese. You are undoubtedly the best Chinese teacher I have encountered in the United States.

Your passion for teaching is unparalleled, evident in your articulate and insightful lectures. Each class is well-structured, with a focus on key points and challenging aspects. Moreover, you always go out of your way to meet the needs of students, incorporating engaging activities and delightful stories into the lessons.

There is a type of connection in the world that surpasses familial and friendship bonds, and that is the teacher's meticulous care and thoughtful guidance. Thank you for guiding us to the summit. With your attention, we become more confident and brave on the journey. Every step of progress on the AP path is inseparable from your hard work, and every bit of growth is associated with your earnest teachings.

Sincere thanks, Teacher. You've worked hard! It's unfortunate that I can only study with you for one semester, but I believe we will meet again in the future! May every year and every day of yours be filled with happiness and joy! Thank you!

Dear Mom,

We love you! Thank you for taking care of me for 14 years. It must have been not easy, but taking care of Fei Fei must have been even more difficult. I hope that when I grow up, I will become less troublesome. If I have a lot of money, I will buy you a Mini Cooper. I am very grateful to you!

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your endless love, a love that has been dedicated to me since the moment I uttered my first cry at birth. The love you have given me is the most selfless; you seek no return, only hoping for my healthy and happy growth.

Perhaps there are times when I can't see it, but beneath your many disguises lies deep affection. You not only gave me life but also bestowed knowledge upon me. From you, I received things that others couldn't obtain.

Your love is a beacon in my darkness, frequently illuminating my path. Thank you for guiding me through the journey of life, helping me see the way forward, like a teacher, like a friend. I appreciate your selfless love for me.

I love you!

Dear Mom,

Today is Thanksgiving. I have so many things to thank you for. I couldn't live without you; there are many things I wouldn't understand. Because you are here, I worry less. You help me study, make delicious meals, and help me become a better person.

I really enjoy our hikes and picnics together. I am happy whenever I am with you.

You are the best mom, kind and yet strict in helping me with my studies.

I am very grateful to you!

Dear Grandpa,

I was away at a competition during Thanksgiving and didn't have the time to write this letter of gratitude. I have many things in my heart that I want to tell you.

Thank you for your support! Since I was little, it has always been you who accompanied me through life. I am now a fourteen-year-old high school student. You have worked hard over these fourteen years. I have grown up, and you have aged. But in my eyes, you will always be the most handsome, most capable grandpa.

I remember the days when I was living in Vermont as a child. Mom and Dad were very busy with work and often came home late at night. When they were not home, it was always you who stayed with me, reading me Chinese storybooks. When I was sick, it was you who stayed by my side and prepared food for me. Moreover, the meals you cooked are the best in the world. Every day, you prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner for us. Even when you were not feeling well, you never stopped. 

From the first day I attended Chinese school, it was you who were responsible for sending my sister and me to school on time. Every Saturday morning, you help us with dictation of new characters. Without you, I definitely wouldn't be able to speak such good Chinese. Thank you for growing up with me! I will study Chinese diligently. Wishing you good health and happiness!

Your granddaughter, Xie Huizhen

Dear Teacher,

Thanksgiving is coming soon! Although we don't have a big Thanksgiving meal in our family, I am still very happy to have a few days of rest with my family.

I am very grateful to be able to learn Chinese with you. Although it's been a short time, I feel that I have learned a lot in this semester's Chinese class. My level of Chinese may not be very high, but after attending the Chinese class, I have gained a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and also learned about the format of the AP exam. I hope I can work hard to strive for a score of 5!

We will all miss your humor and teaching. I really find your class very interesting and rewarding. Not just in the aspect of the language, but also in respect for Chinese culture. Thank you again for your effort, and I hope we can continue to learn happily in the remaining three classes!

Your student,

Zheng Ting'an
