1、Thank-you NotesActivities感谢信感谢信(Thank-you Notes) 日常生活中，我们在应邀赴宴、收到礼品或得到帮助之后，出于惯例和礼貌，应及时给对方写一封感谢信（a thank-you note）。感谢信不必过长，也不必说得过分，否则会使人觉得言不由衷，但也不能太简单，否则使人觉得缺乏诚意。当你对对方不甚满意时，出于礼貌，还是要写信感谢，使对方不至于太难堪。感谢信有个人之间的，也有合作伙伴之间的。Sample: The following are two thank-you notes.

7、人和朋友，也不失为一个很好的办法。 感谢信要真诚且合理，不必太长，也不要过短或夸大其词。写感谢信最好生动，亲切，适宜，得体，对某事某物充满感激，记住：简单的几句真心话往往传递更丰富的含义。Activity 1Activity 2Please write a thank-you note according to the Chinese information given below 史密斯先生刚刚被提升为经理，便收到约翰逊先生的祝贺信，于是回信表示感谢，对他给予自己工作上的帮助表示感谢，并表示盼望见到他。Dear Mr. Johnson, Thank you for your letter c
