A Letter of Saying Farewell to Our Dearest Teacher

June 28, 2005

Dear Prof. LI,

Just as the longest road has its final end, now the two years of our English study is drawing to its end, and it is the right time when we have to say farewell to each other.

As the monitor, I’m on behalf of① the 26 students in Class 4, Grade 2003, School of Life Science② to express our inner-most thanks to you--our sincerest, learned teacher.

Honestly speaking, compared with other instructors, it is the longest time that we stayed together with you for the past two years of our college life. Two years ago, we left our parents for the first time, came into the Ivory Tower, full of curiosity, and expectation, but also mystery and loneliness. It is you, our dearest friend, that has shown us the proper direction, taught us how to cope with③ any unexpected situations, and shared your social experiences and optimistic④ attitudes towards life with us. The most important you have given us is not only knowledge, but also the cultivation of our interest in English and other subjects, and how to be an honest, gentle man. Just as you have always told us to learn a lot and enrich our knowledge, you yourself are really a learned scholar with a very wide range of knowledge. Whenever we remind of this, we feel happy and thankful.

Since smoking is very harmful to your health, we send you this special present—a gun-like lighter, which can be used for smoking, with our sincere hope that you can get rid of smoking, or at least, smoke less.

We all love you, and adore⑤ you very deeply. You’ll be alive in our heart forever.

Best wishes to you, your lovely son and your beautiful girlfriend!

Yours sincerely,

ZHANG Huiyong

Monitor of Class

【点评】

本文是一篇按照中文情景提示展开的书信体应用文，是本书编者于2005年在给生命科学学院的同学上完最后一次课时收到的一封告别信。汇编入本书时，作者对信函的正文内容几乎没有做任何改动。

作为书信，作者在日期和称谓之后，在正文中的第一段就直接了当地写明了写这封信的目的——与老师道别。

在第二段，作者表明了自己的身份，从而说明了为什么是由自己来写这封信。

在第三段，作者再根据题目中的情景提示，对老师的广博的知识和全心全意的工作态度进行了颁扬。在本段中，作者还采用对比的方法，以自己的亲身经历为例，歌颂了老师对全班同学生活上的无微不致的关怀以及学习上的无私的帮助和鼓励。

在第四段，作者简要地说明送给老师一个枪式打火机的含义。这种发挥使文章内容更加完善充实，且不失幽默。

最后两段是对全文的结尾，既表达了对老师的依依不舍之情，也表示了对老师的美好祝愿。

纵观全文，语言流畅，层次清楚，实在是一篇优秀的范文。
