Dear Lecture:

Hello teacher, I am a student that you have taught and because of your help, I was able to find a great job. So I am writing this letter to express my gratitude.

First of all, I would like to thank you for caring for us, loving us, and caring for us with your love, so that we can learn and know how to have a good personality. You are also our best friend and we are always willing to talk to you about what is on our minds. You always understand us. I would like to say, "Teacher, I love you so much."

　　

You said to us, "We are teachers and students in class, and we are friends after class." I like this saying and think that we should be serious in class and attend forty minutes of class seriously, and we should forget all our worries and sorrows and have fun and relax after class. There you are never angry with us for trivial things, and whenever a classmate makes a mistake, you always forgive them again and again, which proves how broad-minded a teacher you are. In spite of this, I am sad when you criticize me, but I don't blame you, you are the most selfless, one who puts in the hard work and effort, you are like my mother who loves and cares for us.

 

Furthermore, I was deeply impressed by the seriousness with which you took your teaching and your students. You inspired me to keep working hard at my studies. Secondly, you have influenced me to fall deeply in love with English. I was never interested in English as a child and I always thought it was useless to me, but you made me realize the beauty of English and brought me to a whole new level. Eventually, your support was always there to encourage me when I encountered difficulties or challenges. You once said, "Everything turns out to be good in the end, and if it doesn't, it's not yet." I am motivated to keep going whenever I think of what you said.

　　

In conclusion, please allow me to express my gratitude to you once again and accept my sincere thanks. With my best wishes. Teacher, don't worry! I will do my best to keep working hard and will not let you down!

 

All the best,

Your student

Week 8 :Dear Abusers

Dear Abusers:

  

Hello there, the devil. How are you doing? I hope you received the punishment you deserved. I still live in fear because of you, I remember everything you did to me, and I despise you. You don't need to know who I am; I'm just one victim of your bullying.

 

You're probably wondering why I'm writing to you. I'm not here to curse you, but I'll never forgive you for the horrible things you've done to me. Until now, I wake up every night thinking about those experiences and weeping bitterly in my sleep. But you are still alive and well, God is so unfair, why do we victims need to suffer all this pain?

 

The reason I am writing this letter is that I want myself to stop being afraid of you, to stop living every day in unhappiness over the awful things you had done to me, and I want to start living again. Therefore, I also want you to stop hurting anyone. They are just as scared and helpless as you and I are, who have been relentlessly abused, beaten, and intimidated. I know that you abusers enjoy it when your victims are scared and helpless and begging for mercy. You derive pleasure and a sense of existence from it. But I know that you also behave in this way because you have had bad experiences. You have been ignored, looked down upon, and disregarded by important people, so you lack love and need to do something to win everyone's attention. Am I right? But these are not excuses for being able to bully others. Every person you bully they are not a non-living being, they have emotions, they feel pain, and why they must suffer such pain and fate. They also have someone they love dearly and someone who loves them too. You, because of your cruelty, and your heartlessness, have destroyed the happy and beautiful life they had. You are great and successful as they will never forget the things you did to them in their lifetime. Wouldn’t you feel heartbroken that someone you love was bullied and picked on or even killed themselves? Wouldn't it make you happy if you had children in the future and your child was afraid to tell you about the bullying at school just because it was threatened by the bully and it was the best thing you always did to us?

 

Those are the words I want to say to you, I really wish you would stop hurting anyone. They're not hurting you; they're just trying to make a good life. I also wish I would be able to get over what you did to me and live a good life myself. I don't want to have any more dealings with you in the future.

Never seen again,

one of the victims.
