Read Kelly's thank-you letter to her teacher. Why is Kelly thankful
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. I used to think that science was boring and difficult, and I did badly in class. I never liked science until I took your class. You encouraged me and made science lessons fun, and slowly, I grew more confident.
I also want to thank you for being kind to me. You helped me a lot, especially after my grandmother passed away. I couldn't talk about my feelings to anybody until you sat with me during lunch that day. You listened to me and talked with me so that I felt much better. That day will always remain in my mind. Thank you so much for being not only my teacher but also my friend.
Sincerely,
Kelly Smith

be kind to sb对某人友好
尤其是，特别是
pass away去世；消失
铭记在心
不仅...而且...
任何人
I used to think that science was boring and difficult.
Language points
used to do sth. 表示 “过去常常做某事（现在已经不做了）；过去曾经是……”，强调过去的习惯、状态或动作，与现在的情况形成对比。
- 肯定：主语 + used to + 动词原形
- 否定：didn’t use to + 动词原形 或 used not to do sth.。
- 一般疑问：Did + 主语 + use to + 动词原形
他过去常常去图书馆看书。
He used to go to the library to read books.
易混对比：- be used to doing 习惯于做 - be used to do 被用来做
2.Thank you so much for being not only my teacher but also my friend.
not only...but also... 是并列连词短语，意为 “不仅…… 而且……”，可连接名词、代词、动词、形容词等，连接主语时，谓语动词遵循 “就近原则”。
不仅是他，我也对英语感兴趣。
Not only he but also I am interested in English.
不仅是学生们，老师也很高兴。
Not only the students but also the teacher is happy.
注意：用来连接两个相同的句子成分，该结构中的 also可省略。 当not only位于句首时，其后的部分要用倒装语序。
Not only did I help the old lady get on the escalator, but also helped her overcome her fear. 我不仅帮助那位老太太上了自动扶梯，还帮助她克服了恐惧。

Dear Mom,
I want to thank you for being my mom. You took the time to help me, although you were always busy with work.
I used to fail the math exam and felt upset. I thought math was boring and difficult, and I did badly in class. I never liked math until you helped me. You encouraged me and made math problems fun, and slowly, I grew more confident.
I also want to thank you for being kind to me. When I was under great study pressure before the exam, I felt stressed and couldn’t sleep well. You listened to me and talked with me so that I felt much better. Thank you so much for being not only my mom but also my best friend.

Dear Lily,
I want to thank you for being my best friend. You took the time to help me when I needed it most.
I felt very lonely when I moved to this new school. I didn’t know anyone and was afraid to talk to others. I couldn’t make new friends easily. You played with me after class and introduced me to your friends, and slowly, I felt at home here.
I also want to thank you for being kind to me. When we failed the basketball competition, I felt discouraged and wanted to give up. You cheered me up and encouraged me to keep trying, and I felt much better. Thank you so much for being not only my friend but also my supporter.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
