四级第三套 Dear Dad, With Father’s Day approaching, I’m writing this letter to give my thanks and love to you for supporting me in serving as a volunteer for teaching in a rural area, which is a memorable achievement in my life. Firstly of all, thank you for your trust that I can take good care of myself and support for me to do meaningful things, which made the experience possible. Secondly, I’d like to thank you for your encouragement when I was frustrated with the tough living conditions there. What you told me about learning from hardships not only made me ashamed of myself but also inspired me to persist. Last but not least, thank you for your immediate visit at the news that I fell ill during the service. Not until that time did I realize how important I am in your heart. I became much more mature after this voluntary experience. More importantly, I got to know what a great father I have. Thank you for teaching me to grow up. Love you!
Yours, Sweetheart
