Dear Nathan,
I'm Li Hua, president of English Club in Hongshui High School. Know that you are leaving for Britain, I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude for that you did as our foreign teacher.
Honestly speaking, some activities hold by our club would not have being so successful without your help. When we were preparing for the English Drama Competition, you offered plenty of advices about students’ English pronunciations as well as how to perform in a impressive way, which greatly improved their confidence on the stage. However, inspired by you, we organized several English Movie Nights when students could watch English movies with you and discuss in English afterwards. Not only they practice their spoken English, but also they had a better understanding of foreign cultures.
Now, face with your leaving, I hope you will have a great life back in your hometown. We will miss you a lot of. Take care!
Sincerely,
Li Hua
