Teachers' Day is a great time to say thanks to your teachers.You can show your gratitude by sending gifts to your teachers.Maybe beautiful flowers or a box of chocolate is a good choice.But here is another great way：send your teachers your own thank-you cards!Your teachers must be happy when they received the thank-you cards.
   In Britain，thank-you cards are traditional.And they are not just for special days.You can send a thank-you card to one of your friends.If you know the person very well，you can even end the card with a kiss，just by writing the letter X.
   When you grow up and began to look for a job，a thank-you card is also important.No matter whether you can get a job，a thank-you card sometimes has magic powers.It helps you stand out among other people.
   In a world full of cellphones and e-mails，sending a message is easy and fast.But taking your time to write a"thank-you"adds something important to the message.It doesn't matter how you say thank you，as long as you say it.Because these two special words remind the person you care.
