Have you seen a picture of a little bride and groom?So its for weddings.In China we send wedding cards as well. Often were enclosed with money. And then this one is happy anniversary.And if you know someone, especially at that time, if youre remembering their wedding or if you were in thei r wedding perhaps, you might send them a card to remind them. And whats the right thing to write?
Well if somebody is getting married, we always s ay Congratulations, dont we? Congratulations on your happy day or on your wedding!. And Congratulations on your anniversary!
After the wedding comes the next card. Congratulations on your new baby!
This one says a little boy. But anytime theres a birth of a child, you could write Congratulations on the birth of your new baby or On the birth of your child.
Therere other kinds of congratulations that you might want to do. For example, if someone moves to a new home, you might write someone a little card and say Congratulations on your new home, or
Or your new job. Thats very common because people do change jobs. Usually you change for the better, get a better job. So its nice to remember somebody with a card. This one just says Congratulations. I recently sent it to a young man who graduated from school. And I think this is a standard note. My whole family signed it and we told him good luck in the future, since he had just finished school.
The last category is very important for those crazy foreigners who are always saying thank you.
In Western culture, one of the most important thing is to say please and thank you.
So in a thank you card you might begin by saying, Dear good friend, good neighbor, their name. And then say thank you for whatever it was, you buying me dinner, helping me with something.
when you write a thank you card you dont have to write a lot. And inside its bland; thank you is on the outside. You just write Thank you for the lovely dinner ; Thank you for the wonderful outing;Thank you for the lovely gift. .
Those are all good.And you should have at least two thank you in the note, at the beginning and at the end. So it does seem like too much. But we want to go over how to close these. Some endings would beYou might end a love card with I love you or Much love. But you might end a friendship card with fondly, which means fondness and friendship, or Your friend,Jack, or m thinking of you,Rose . And thank you, you would end with Thanks again.
Yes, this is a good one to remember, because in a thank you card, at the beginning you might say Thank you for the wonderful evening, We had such a good time being with you, and whoever, in your new house. Thanks again.
And a more formal one you might say, say its your bosss son who graduated, you dont know him well. He is not a personal friend. But you send a card, you might say Best regards or Best wishes or All the best. Those are all good ways to finish the note and then sign your name.
So if you have to write a card and you need to write it to an English speaker, now this should give you some good ideas on what to say inside your cards.
