读写任务

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

　　I believe in the power of the well-written thank-you letters．My sister and I were taught at a very early age to write thank-you letters for birthday and Christmas gifts．We carefully copied addresses from our mom's address book into our own pretty little books．We wrote our letters on December 26th at the latest every year．It was an important activity in our home, and it has turned me into an eager thank-you-letter writer as an adult．Nearly every Monday morning I sit down with my favorite pen and write a few thank-you letters．I write them for parties I attend, dinners I'm fed, or just to thank a friend for listening．Several years ago I even sent my mom a thank-you letter to thank her for teaching me to count my blessings on paper．

　　Sending letters of thanks out into the world has made me more appreciative of the love, support, and kindness I receive daily．I am more motivated to do kind things for others when I feel appreciated, and I feel that I keep kindness and generosity living by genuinely expressing my thanks．
