Here there is no clear introduction, main body, conclusion and separate polite closing part. 2. In the main body part, you should first write what you like about the lecture.

I hope you will find these suggestions useful. Your faithfullyXXComments: 1. Better structure than the first one. 2.

How to use correct expression, please refer to lecture material ppt.Example 3 (for reference)Dear Ms. ChenLast Tuesday you asked students to give you some suggestions about your teaching. Now Im writing to you to outline my thoughts below.First, I would like to express our appreciation of your effort and hard work in English teaching.
