"It's hard to say this, but I'll have to leave school in a few weeks' time," said Mr Thomas, standing at the front of the classroom.
It was early on Monday morning and Mr Thomas's students were shocked at the news. All of them loved Mr Thomas very much and they never thought that he might leave. However, Mr Thomas reached the age when he was going to retire. After hearing the news, the class kept sad for the next few days until the class monitor gave them a small scolding.
"We should not be like this," she said. "Instead, we should study hard to thank Mr Thomas for being so good to us." The class agreed, and they thought of an idea of having a farewell party for Mr Thomas to surprise him.
On Mr Thomas's last day at school, everybody brought a different kind of delicious finger food to class and put it in the middle of the classroom. They covered the blackboard with farewell messages. When Mr Thomas showed up, all the students said "Goodbye, dear teacher!" together and promised Mr Thomas that they would do their best in schoolwork in the future.
Mr Thomas was really surprised. And he was really touched. The class was glad that they did the right thing. After all, it was the simplest way to show thanks to their favourite teacher.

“说这个很难，但几周后我就得离开学校了。”托马斯先生站在教室前面说道。
那是周一清晨，托马斯先生的学生们听到这个消息都很震惊。他们所有人都非常爱戴托马斯先生，从没想过他可能会离开。然而，托马斯先生已经到了即将退休的年龄。听到这个消息后，接下来的几天里全班都很悲伤，直到班长小小的训斥了他们。
“我们不应该这样。”她说，“相反，我们应该努力学习来感谢托马斯先生对我们这么好。”全班都同意了，他们想出了一个为托马斯先生举办告别派对的主意，给他一个惊喜。
在托马斯先生在学校的最后一天，每个人都带了一种不同的美味的手指食物到课堂上，并把它放在教室中间。他们在黑板上写满了告别留言。当托马斯先生出现时，所有的学生一起说“再见，亲爱的老师！”并向托马斯先生保证他们将来会在学业上尽最大努力。
托马斯先生真的很惊讶。而且他真的很感动。全班都很高兴他们做了正确的事。毕竟，这是向他们最喜欢的老师表达感谢的最简单的方式。
