From the topic choosing to materials’collecting, from writing to modifying repeatedly, I have experienced joy, noise, pain and anxious. My mood was so complex during this process. Now, with the final finished manuscript, the complex mood evaporated. Even I have a sense of accomplishment which is like a grand awards entertainment, I am now in the entertainment scene and watching others receive awards one by one with calling my name. However, after a long time waiting, finally a guest shouts my name so that I forget the previous long and boring waiting time. I go up to the stage with great joy and can not wait to express my feelings. This essay is my stage and the following words are my sincere and heartfelt gratitude and feelings after gaining the accomplishment of my essay.
I am very grateful to my tutor Ms Yao Chenghe. She is easy—going and always with enthusiasm. She is careful and rigorous when she is working. I like to chat with her because she is like my good friends and always encourages me. In writing the paper, she would always require me to repeatedly modify my assay using “professional standards”. From the beginning to the end, Ms Yao is always conscientious and responsible to give me profound guide in detail and helps me open up research ideas. It is Ms Yao’s selfless help and encouragement that makes my assay completed successfully.
I also want to thank my teacher of writing class, Mr Zhang Hongfeng.
He took the time from his busy schedule to help me sort out the writing ideas and put forward many valuable comments and suggestions on my assay. And he also told me the principle of our life which had given me a lot of help. Here, I express my sincere gratitude to Mr Zhang, my writing teacher.
I thank my parents very much, during the process of my writing, they are always supporting me and make a great contribution to my collecting materials. Thank you my dear parents, I love you.
