【参考范文】
Dear parents,
    Today, I am writing this letter to express my thanks to you, because I made a memorable achievement in recent English Speech Competition. 
    During my high school study, I had a variety of difficulties in English learning. For instance, I found it troublesome to memorize new words. In addition, it was also difficult for me to understand rules of English grammar. Though I could write and read, I could not express myself freely in oral English. Then, you encouraged me to participate in the English Club. Gradually, I am convinced that practice makes perfect. It was constant practice that enabled me to build up adequate knowledge, skills and competence in making speeches in English. Finally, I succeeded in this competition. Your encouragement brought me power, aroused my enthusiasm for English and helped me to make progress every day. 
      As your child, I deem that suppose I intend to achieve greater success in future, it is advisable for me to set a greater goal. You make me believe that if I try my utmost to do everything, the future of my life will be hopeful and promising. Thanks again, my dear parents!
Your kid
