Gratitude06 财会 严佳莉，华亭，平佳明

Question• 1.Whom do you

want to express gratitude most?

• 2. Which way will you use to show gratitude for them?

• Have you ever heard a story called ‘The gift of the Magi’?

• It is about a couple who want to give a gift to each other on Christmas day. Lack of money, the husband sold his watch to buy a barrette( 发夹 ) for the wife, the wife sold her beautiful hair to buy a watch chain for her husband.

• Although these two gifts are useless after they sold their precious things, this story shows us an important thing: “no matter how poor they are , they live a happy life because of their gratitude to each other.”

• Nowadays, with the development of modern technology, our lives are becoming more and more comfortable, but we seem to express little gratitude to the person who have helped us. Why? If you think that others helped you was a matter of fact , I should tell you: “It is absolutely wrong!”

• Everyone needs to be encouraged in their work. The milkman, the postman, the conductor and so on. Even if the person you have helped didn’t thank you ,you should also help others, because there is an old saying: “Do not give up good things though they may be minor matters.”( 勿以善小而不为 )

• In the United States, there is a holiday called “Thanksgiving Day”.

• On this day, people from different backgrounds or with different beliefs give thanks to God for the grace they have been granted during the past year and pray for benediction( 赐福 ) in the following years. I think this day could become a way of life, because it tells people the significance of gratitude.

In our daily lives, we have much gratitude to show to many people, including our dear parents, our respectable teachers, our close friends, even

strangers who had helped us before and so on .

• Thanks for supporting us when we are lack of confidence; Thanks for directing us when we did something wrong; Thanks for changing our state of mind when we felt unhappy. All of these people taught us a lot of things, such as generosity, cooperation, love for all  and so on. From then on, we felt our lives got changed, as if sunshine appears in the darkness eventually. That’s why we want to express our gratitude to them!
