【第三套】感谢信：感谢在你困境中（困难时）帮助过你的一个朋友。
Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutesto write a letter to express your thanks to your friends who helped you mostwhen you were in difficulty. You should write at least120words but no more than180words.
【真题解析】
相对于其他两套题而言，这套写作题比较简单。因为：第一，题干当中没有比较难的陌生词汇。第二在于感谢的是朋友，从身边人找例子找事迹，相对而言贴近生活，比较有内容。
这封感谢信的写作思路如下：
称谓：Dear,
礼貌语：Yours sincerely ,
主体内容：
开头段：因为是私人信函，不用自我介绍。写信目的基本表达: I am writing this letter to do sth.不要忘记了感谢的几个单词：thanks, appreciation , gratitude.
中间段：解释一下感谢的内容和理由。第一，因为遭遇不幸或者有什么困难，感谢朋友的及时帮助。第二，还需要强调这种帮助的重要性，比如说“要不是因为别人的帮助，自己就无法克服困难，或者无法度过难关。”
结尾段：再次感谢。既然是感谢信，再多的感谢也不为过。
【参考范文】
Dear Walt,
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitudefor your help. I am referring to that unfortunate accident the other day, whenI was knocked off my bike by a taxi.
Mostimportantly, if it had not been for your timely assistance in giving me firstaid, I fear that the consequences might have been much serious. Everyone agreesthat it was your quick-witted response in that emergency that has led to thissatisfactory outcome. Although nowadays people in mounting numbers talk aboutthe need to be unselfish, we see very few people practice what they preach. Ifthere were more people like you, this world would be a much nicer place.
My thanksto you for the help you render me are beyond words.
Yoursfaithfully,
XXXX
