Dear Mr Gump.

I am writing to you to express my heartfelt thanks for the wonderful experience I had during the English course. You might remember how afraid I was when I came to Australia the first time just because my English was not good enough. I can not believe I could change that much after your 2 months-English course. I truly appreciate the efforts and passion you put into each lesson.

I had learned English for 7 years before your class but I can not communicate with foreigners effectively. Your innovative teaching methods and attractive classroom activities made learning English not only easy but also enjoyable. I was always looking forward to your classes because you created a positive and supportive environment that made me feel comfortable in using English.

Your dedication has significantly improved my English and now I can be more confident in using English. This confidence is something that I will carry forward to the future job as a tour guide. Moreover, I plan to travel to English-speaking countries to immerse myself in language and culture, gaming practical experience.

Once again, thank you for being such an inspiring teacher. Your impact on my studying English journey was profound. I am very grateful for the knowledge and skills I gained.
