Teachers help us become good students and people. So we should thank them for their hard work. In China we have a special day—September 10th. On that day, we say thanks to our teachers and sometimes give them small gifts, such as cards with best wishes. But how do the students in the USA thank their teachers?
First of all, schools in the USA have a whole week in May to appreciate their teachers! Teacher Appreciation Day is on Tuesday of that week. They have parties with gifts and snacks that week. There are also signs everywhere to show their love to teachers.
The students in the USA like to give small gifts to their teachers and the teachers love getting thank-you notes from their students. Teachers also like getting artworks and handicrafts made by students.
Should we say thanks to our teachers only on these special days? No. We should thank our teachers all year round. Always show your love to your teachers. They are worthy of our respect(尊敬).
