论文部分内容阅读
高考英语作文时有涉及“感谢”的命题，比如，2007年的广东卷要求先阅读父亲在你出生时写的信，然后在父亲生日之际给他回信，表达对他的感恩之情；2008年的海南宁夏卷要求给美国圣迭哥动物园的工作人员写一封信，其中第三个要点为感谢工作人员对大熊猫的照顾；2008年的安徽卷要求给美国笔友写信，信中首先要感谢笔友对环保购物袋的关注；2009年的山东卷要求给美国的同学Tom写信，信中要感谢在美学习期间他给予自己的帮助，等等。
一般来说，贴近同学们生活的感谢信主要是写给父母、老师和朋友的（见下表）。
感谢信的行文从结构看，要符合书信格式，开头有问候，结尾有致词、署名；从内容看，大致可以分为三部分：
（1） 表达感激之情并说明感谢的原因；
（2） 细述对方给予的帮助和自己得到的益处；
（3） 再次表达谢意及真诚祝福，也可表达希望保持联络或报答对方的愿望等。
由于题目中往往会给出文章开头的问候部分和结尾的致词、署名部分，所以同学们在写作时只需按照行文的内容，根据感谢的对象、感谢的事宜，运用恰当的句型体现合适的语气即可。
一、给父母的感谢信
（1） 感谢的原因
■祝母（父）亲节快乐并表感恩：I am writing to you on the Mother’s/ Father’s Day to show my thanks and I would like to say “Happy Mother’s/ Father’s Day”.
■祝生日快乐并表感恩：It’s your birthday, and I want to say “I love you” and thank you so much for everything you have done for me.
（2） 细述父母的养育之恩
■父母的期望：I know that you have great expectations of me.
You hope I grow up to be a strong, brave and successful “lion” and that I can do well for myself and others.
I have always been feeling the beats of your heart since I came into the world.
■父母的操劳：I know how hard you’ve worked during the past years.
I can imagine all the problems you have faced and all the sweat and tears you have shed to make my life better.
I can fully understand what a huge responsibility it is to raise a child.
■父母的培养：You’ve encouraged me and helped me patiently.
You’ve tried your hardest to give me the best things in life.
You’ve made a lot of sacrifices and many difficult choices.
■自己的幸福感受：It is so lucky of me to be the center of the whole family.
在细述父母的养育之恩时，若能恰当地回顾一件具体的事，则更有感染力。比如：
I still remember a game held when I was 12．I lost the game and cried as many kids did. You took me by the hand, looking into my eyes and said, “you are a brave lion, and a lion never cries. You can lose the game but can’t be beaten down.” Since then, I have been doing my best to get over every challenge.
（3） 表达对养育之恩的铭记以及报答父母的愿望
Dear Mom and Dad, thank you very much for your patience, love and understanding. I will value them for ever.
Your hope and your love make me what I am today. Now, I’m grown up! I will be responsible for my life and for my future. You’ll be proud of me!
二、给老师的感谢信
（1） 表明身份和感谢的原因
I’m very excited to write to express my thanks to you. I am Li Hua from Class 3...
Do you remember me？I’ m writing to show my thanks to you. Though you tutored me in English only for a term, with your help, I made such rapid progress.
（2） 评价老师的教学
■肯定老师的教学效果，感谢老师的教诲：I still remember the days when you taught me English. You are such a great communicator and motivator.
Thanks very much for your excellent lessons. It’s my honor to be one of your students and obviously I’ve learnt lots of new words and English usage from you.
■具体的教学事例：You encouraged me when the pressure of too much homework and the high expectations from my parents made me depressed.
You made each class vivid and interesting by telling stories, singing songs and even playing some games.
（3） 表达师恩难忘并祝福老师
Your vivid classes and all the happy times we spent with you will be kept in my mind for a lifetime.
I wish more and more of your students could go to their ideal colleges.
三、给出国交流学习期间的老师、同学、homestay family的感谢信
（1） 报平安并表示感谢
I am now back home safely.
In this letter I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to you for your kindness when I was in New York.
I am now writing to say thanks for your friendliness, generosity, understanding, care and everything you did for me during my stay in New York.
Your generous help and tender care made me feel at home and my first trip to America will be a beautiful memory.
（2） 细述对方提供的帮助

You taught me the common slangs and idioms, making me integrate into the local life fully.
■同学的热情帮助：You are the first friend I made in New York.

■homestay family的细心照顾：You treated me as a member of your family, and made me feel at home.

I’m very grateful to you for your help and looking forward to your early visit to China, so that I could have the opportunity to show you around.
I’d like to invite you to visit China if it is convenient to you. I will take you to the best places in China.
短短书信表感谢，只要同学们在下笔前先根据题目体会感恩的心情，在写作时用正确的语句将这份感恩之情表达出来，就一定能写好一封情真意切的感谢信。
