Dear Mr. Chen,
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for being such an inspiring mentor to me over the past two years.
I used to be afraid of speaking English in public. I had great difficulty expressing my thoughts clearly, and I often felt nervous and embarrassed in class.But you noticed my struggle. You took the time to stay after school with me, encouraging me to practice little by little. I slowly became more confident. Now, I can even give short speeches in English!
There was a time when I felt very lonely after moving to this new city. I missed my old friends and found it hard to fit in.You were always there when I needed someone to talk to. You listened to me during lunch breaks and shared your own stories of moving when you were young.Your kindness made me feel understood and welcomed. That difficult period became much easier because of you.
Thank you again for everything you have done for me. You are not only an excellent teacher but also a true friend. I will always be grateful for your guidance and warmth.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
