First of all，thank you for helping me learn English.Without your help，I would not have made such great progress in English learning.Besides，what you told me about your country broadened my horizons and aroused my interest in foreign culture.
I wish you all the best in the future and have a good journey.

1.文章开头扼要地介绍了写信的目的，使用了感谢信的套语I’m writing this email to express my gratitude for your help。
2.书信的主体部分陈述了道谢的原因，使用了过渡性词语：First of all，Besides；高级词汇：make great progress，broaden，arouse；感谢信的套语：…thank you for helping me learn English.Without your help，I would not have made such great progress in Englishlearning.；还使用了复杂结构what引导的主语从句。
3.信的结尾使用了感谢信的套语I wish you all the best in the future and have a good journey.表达了祝愿。
