Now about 1,100 companies are allowed (允许) to take children into the great outdoors without their parents. The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change. Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is.

Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them. Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team.

Then you should explain how you plan to use the gift or service, or explain how the gift or service has already been used. Whats more, you can also express your feelings on the gift or service by saying that “It was a wonderful birthday present” It also helps to mention a personal feeling such as “I was just so happy with the party.” In the end, you should mention that you want to see or talk to the person again soon. For close relatives and friends, you can also tell them how much you miss them and express regret(遗憾) that their visit was short. Sign your thank-you letter personally and with a heart. Try “Love”, “Yours truly”, or “Take care” instead of “Sincerely” as it is more for business. In this way, you will always maintain (维持) a pleasant relationship with your friends and relatives.
