三、范文示例（原创）
Dear Li Hua,
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the thoughtful gift you sent me last week. It truly touched my heart.
The book on Chinese culture that you gave me is not only beautifully bound but also highly informative. As I’ve been studying Chinese history recently, this book has become an essential resource for my learning. It’s more than just a present—it’s a symbol of your support and understanding of my interests.
I will make sure to read it thoroughly and refer to it often. I’m also planning to share some of the insights I gain with my classmates, which I believe will be very helpful.
Thank you once again for your generosity and for being such a great friend. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Warm regards,
Zhang Wei
