Mrs Thompson was not only a good teacher but also a friend to her.
Dear Mrs Thompson,
I want to thank you for being my teacher. You took the time to help me, although you were so busy.
Your classes always made me happy. l used to think that science was boring and difficult, and I did badly in class. I never liked science until took your class. You encouraged me and made science lessons fun, and slowly, I grew more confident.
