Something to say at such a day

　　Every Teachers' Day, I always receive many blessing messages from my former students, which says they miss me so much and want to thank me. These words also bring back so many sweet memories and the past days are back.

　　In fact, I would like to thank every boy or girl who has met me. It is your appearance that makes my day colorful; it is your existence that makes my work meaningful; and it is your love for me that makes my life so memorable. Thank you all!

　　And there is also something I want to say to my students now. Though we have just known each other for only several days, I also want to express my appreciation to you. Thank you for being my students, thank you for your wishes, and thank you for every minutes with me.

　　And I especially want to express my appreciation to my dear teachers. Having been a teacher for more than 20 years, I almost forget that I was once a student, and I also had many caring and helpful teachers who gave me so much help and guidance which led me to where I am today. So they are the very persons I need to thank at such a day. Happy Teachers' Day, my dear teachers. Thank you so much.

　　Being a teacher is such an enjoyable and rewarding thing, and it has offered me too much happiness. Thanks for everyone and everything this career has brought me.

　　在这一天，我想说

　　每逢教师节到来时，我总是收到许多之前的学生们的祝福信息。他们总是诉说着思念和感激。他们的这些话，勾起了我许多甜蜜的回忆，过去的美好时光也会浮现在眼前。

　　事实上，我现在却更想感谢我的每一个学生。是你们的出现，才让我的每一天那么丰富多彩;是你们的存在，才让我的工作有了意义;是你们的爱，才让我的人生有了那么多难忘的瞬间。谢谢你们，我的学生们!

　　还有我现在的学生们，虽然我与你们相识不久，但我也想向你们表示我的感谢：谢谢你们成为了我的学生，也谢谢你们的祝福，谢谢你们现在和将来和我度过的每一分钟。

　　我尤其要感谢我曾经的老师们。当了20多年的老师，我几乎忘记了曾经我也是一名学生。我也曾拥有过许多关爱学生和乐于助人的老师们。是他们曾经给予我的无私的帮助和细心的指导，才让我走到了今天。所以，在这样的日子里，他们正是我必须要感谢的人。亲爱的老师们，教师节快乐。衷心地感谢和祝福你们。

　　教师是一份令人愉快并且有意义的工作，也给了我很多快乐和幸福。感谢这份职业让我遇到的每一个人以及所带给我的一切。
