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.
