Are you doing it right? Writing a thank-you note

I have always been a big advocate of thank-you notes. People will always think better of you for saying thank you properly. For example, we can all send a WhatsApp message. However, it is not the same as sitting down, putting pen to paper, getting a first-class stamp and sending it off in the post. A thank-you note like this is less likely to get lost in the digital noise.

You are supposed to send your thank-you note as soon as possible after the event has taken place, or after you have received your gift. Christmas is the only occasion where you have a week or so to respond. Princess Diana supposedly started her thank-you letters before the event.

Don't start with "thank you", though it is dull and predictable. And then go on to the thank you. The more kindness you have received, the longer the message should be. Try to make sure the stationery(文具) is fairly nice; some people use postcard-sized cards, so their notes are only a couple of lines long. If you are using paper, go for A5 and write a maximum of two separate pieces of paper. Never write on the back.

A. It meant she never forgot.

B. What is the best time to send it?

C. Many occasions require thank-you notes.

D. At modem times, we may have many choices.

E. In fact, that will mean a lot more to a person.

F. Being thankful for the kindness of others is natural.

G. Start something personal about the experience or gift.

With the country at war, students at Lianda were not going to shirk their duty. (drive) by a sense of commitment, a great many joined the army to resist the Japanese invaders and defend the honour of the nation.

A product of the war, Lianda is now (physical) gone. it has become the crowning glory of China's modern universities, not only because of its prominent professors and talented students, but also because of the school's strong spirit of perseverance and (dedicate).

More than eighty years on, the priceless contribution of Lianda still needs to be reaffirmed. It (become) part of the collective memory of the Chinese nation, with its spirit as the blueprint for all universities in China in the modern era.
