Learn how to write a thank-you message to a colleague.
Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and tips and do the exercises.
Tips
Start with a friendly comment: I hope you're well.
It's usually best to use an informal style with colleagues: Hi Maria, …
Thanks for your help.
Keep it short.
Mention the good work they did and the positive effect of it: Your expertise was vital for this project.
We couldn't have finished it successfully without your help.
End with a positive comment about future collaboration: I hope to work with you more closely in future.
I look forward to working with you again.
I hope you are well.
I am just writing to thanks for your help in my make-up class. I really appreciate you coming to me when I had no idea to draw my eyebrow. I know you had to catch up you next lesson, so again thank you very much.
Your expertise is vital for all us who are beginner to learn makeup and we could not draw well without you that day. I hope in the future I could have a chance to work with you in this beauty field.
I will be in touch with you, also follow your lesson through live streaming.
I've never thought about saying thanks with such a long text via email before. usually, I just say or send a message like 'hey, thanks for your help, really appreciate it.' but after reading text from this exercise, I want to write one to my friend that helped me on my freelance project last year.

I need to say thanks for this British Council team, thanks to these good exercises with lessons here, I've been learning a lot about English. Thank you so much.
Well, the last time I thanked my friend not a colleague. I made a renovation at home and my friend really helped me. It was my first renovation and I didn't have any experience in this case. I even didn't know where to start. My friend gave me many helpful adviсes, helped me to choose proper materials, and find a qualified electrician.
We even built a partition-wall together to make a clothes room instead of an old storeroom.
I can't imagine how I did all these works without him. Ok, I definitely, could make it but it would have been worse and much more expensive.
To write honestly, I have never expressed my gratitude in words in my life. I seldom say thanks to my close friends. But in my mind, I never forget their good deeds to me. The last time l have to thank someone is in two years ago. At that time I resigned from my former company and sought for a job. One of my workmates from former company was working in a new company. He introduced me to his company and soon I got a new job. This company pays higher salary than the previous one. I didn't say thanks to him but in my mind I said thanks in deep.
