①There is an old Chinese saying,"If someone gives you a little drop of water, you should return a spring of water." That means if someone helps you a bit, you should remember it and thank him or her gratefully(感激地)in return.
②The most important thing is to thank our parents. They work hard all the time to give their sons and daughters a better life. They cook meals for us, and they also do the chores for us. They always give us food and clothes. They teach us what is right and what is wrong.
③Don't forget teachers who give us dreams. They teach us a lot of things but they ask for nothing from us. Their work makes us a full man.
④Meanwhile, anyone we meet in our lives deserves (值得) our thanks. We thank people who hurt us, because we learn important lessons from them. We thank people who give us up, because they make us more independent(独立的). We thank people who are selfish(自私的), because we learn the importance of being kind. Of course, we should thank people who help us out.
⑤There are a lot of people that we should be grateful to in our lives. Find a way to show our thanks with actions, not just words.
