A Letter to My English Teacher

Dear Miss Zhu,

親愛的周老師，

How time flies! It has been a fewyears since I left high school, but I still remember you in my heart, becauseyou’re the best teacher in my mind. It’s not only because you taught meknowledge, but also you taught me how to study. I have really benefitted a lotfrom you. So I would like to express my great thanks to you, and share my lifein college with you.

時間飛逝！我高中畢業已經幾年了，但我仍然把你記在我的心里，因為你是我心目中最好的老師。這不僅是因為你教與我知識，而且你還教我如何學習。從你身上我真的獲益匪淺。所以我想向你表達我的感謝，并與你分享我的大學生活。

Now I’m studying in Hunan FirstNormal College, which is Chairman Mao’s former school. I major in English,because I find it so fun and interesting. As far as I’m concerned, our EnglishDepartment is the best department in our college. The teachers in ourdepartment are knowledgeable, experienced, and warm-hearted. And my classmatesare nice, friendly and helpful. Thus, I have a good atmosphere to study. When Ihave difficulties in study, I always ask my teachers for help or discuss with myclassmates. Through their help, I have made great progress in my English study.

我現在在湖南第一師范學校學習，這是毛主席之前呆過的學校。我的專業是英語，因為我覺得它很有趣。我覺得我們英語系是我校最好的學部。我們系的老師知識淵博，經驗豐富，熱心腸。我的同學們也很和藹，友好，樂于助人。因此，我擁有一個很好的學習氛圍。當我在學習上遇到困難時，我總是向我的老師尋求幫助或與同學討論。在他們的幫助下，我在英語學習上取得了很大的進步。

College life is much differentfrom high school life. In college, we should acquire knowledge as well asimprove our integrated abilities. There are a lot of English classes for us tolearn, such as Basic English, Oral English, Listening, Reading, Writing,Translation, Grammar, English Literature, and so on. I enjoy these classes verymuch. Except English, we have many other subjects to learn. Life seems so busyhere but it’s so fruitful for me.

大學生活與高中生活有很大的不同。在大學，我們要獲取知識也要提高我們的綜合能力。我們要上很多的英語課，比如，基礎英語，英語口語，聽力閱讀，寫作，翻譯，語法，英語文學等。我非常喜歡這些課。除英語外，我們還要學習很多其他科目。在這里生活是如此的忙碌，但這對我來說是如此豐碩的收獲。

After class, I usually go to theEnglish Corner. There I can practice my oral English by talking with foreignersor chatting with my schoolmates. Now, I’m able to communicate with foreignerswell. Sometimes I also take part in some social activities. For instance, lastweekend I attended an interesting play. As it was my first performance, I felta little nervous at the beginning. But when I appeared on the stage, I madeevery audience laugh happily. I was so proud of myself at that moment, becausethis was my first achievement.

下課后，我經常去英語角。在那里我可以通過與外國人或我的同學聊天來練習我的英語口語。現在我可以很好的和外國人交流了。有時候我也可以參加一些社交活動。例如，上周我參加了一個有趣的表演。因為是我第一次表演，所以一開始的時候我覺得有點緊張。但當我出現在舞臺上時，我讓每一個觀眾都開心的笑了。在那一刻，我為我自己感到驕傲，因為這是我的第一個收獲。

What about your present life? Ihope to hear from you soon.

你目前生活怎么樣呢？希望很快能收到你的回信。
At last, I hope everything goeswell with you. Please give my best regards to your family.

最后，我希望你一切順利。請代我向你的家人問好。

Sincerelyyours,

Jason
