“A story of a ferryboat enduring the sun and rain, silently carrying many people back and forth. As passengers cross to the other side, who remembers the image of the ferryboat?”
Years pass by, and the boatman silently navigates the ferryboats of knowledge, bringing generations of students to the shores of their dreams, forgetting the exhaustion, while smiling as the children spread their wings towards the future...
It has been said that teaching is the noblest profession. “A teacher is a teacher even for one character, or half a character.” The passionate lectures and caring attention of teachers have guided countless generations of students to maturity. Teachers teach children the alphabet and also how to be good people. Like a dedicated boatman working day and night, teachers carry many generations of students across the river of knowledge to reach their dreamed shores.
The deep and winding rivers, hiding dangers with whirlpools, continue to be silently navigated. As time goes on, the passengers from long ago have arrived at their dreams and spread their wings into their own sky. When they look back, the river and the boatman are still there, guiding others towards the shores of knowledge. Countless boats have arrived at the shore in the boatman's lifetime, and countless students have grown under the warm hands of their teachers. Teachers give us knowledge, teach us how to be people, and open the doors to the future, allowing us to confidently step into an industrialized, modernized society.
The immense contributions of teachers cannot be fully repaid. They pour their hearts and souls into educating students, hoping their pupils will have a bright future. One day, when we grow up and are capable of soaring into life, discovering new and exciting things in the world, the words of advice we received will remain with us, serving as the foundation for the path we take, each word giving us wings and uplifting our steps.
Their greatness, as vast as “the sky and the sea,” is difficult to repay. Even now, as students, we must give our best efforts to study diligently, striving not to disappoint the expectations teachers have of us.
For all students, this is an opportunity to express gratitude and respect for our teachers. We hope that teachers—the silent boatmen—will always hold the oar firmly, guiding their students towards their dreams.
As Teachers' Day approaches, we wish all teachers on the podium, as well as those in everyday life, good health and continued success in their work, so they can pass on valuable knowledge and experience to us, helping us confidently step into the world.


2. Article expressing gratitude to teachers number 5
“Thank you, teacher, for guiding me into the forest of knowledge”
“I am grateful, teacher, for leading me to the sea of love”
From the moment I opened my eyes to embrace life, I could feel the invaluable and sacred love from my parents. As time passed, their love nurtured me, shaping who I am today. I once thought that in this life, only my parents would offer me the greatest and most beautiful love. However, I soon realized, especially when I entered the educational world, that I was not alone—my teachers also walked with me through my journey.
Indeed, teachers have guided us from the very beginning of our educational journey. They have nurtured our dreams and ambitions for the future, instilled visions of success, achievements, and provided us with a deep faith in life. Perhaps, all that is noble in the soul of each person begins with the guidance of these educators. They have devoted a part of their lives to shaping students, guiding them along a road filled with challenges ahead. As someone once said, “Teaching is like rowing a boat, one must guide the boat to the other shore.” How true that is. In fulfilling their noble mission, “the one who rows the boat” must ensure its safety. But who knows the hardships they endure along the way? Yes, the teacher must exert all their energy to weather “storms” and “strong winds.” After safely transporting their passengers, they return to continue their mission. Thus, teachers dedicate their entire lives to educating their beloved students, undeterred by difficulties or exhaustion. Whether they stay up late to prepare lessons or repeat formulas and lectures countless times, they remain passionate because, in their hearts, there is only one desire—to educate the younger generation.
Teachers not only sacrifice their time and effort, but also dedicate their love and protection to children, still naive and unfamiliar with the vast world. These children look out at life, guided by the love of their teachers. Indeed, teachers instill in us the strength and belief to reach for our dreams, turning them into reality. Teachers give everything to make lessons lively and memorable for every student. Without their love for their students, could they make such sacrifices? The daily work of a teacher comes from the heart of a parent, offering the same affection one would have for their own child. This love burns bright in the hearts of teachers, ready to warm the young souls who are just beginning their journey in life.
We understand the struggles teachers face as they steer their boats, enduring countless waves and winds, all the while staying committed to guiding and protecting us. Whenever we falter, the warm hands of our teachers gently lift us. Whenever we feel hopeless, their inspiring words give us the strength to move forward. Thank you, teacher, a thousand times over!
As time passes, I will always remember the image of my teachers, the ones who have brought beautiful colors into our souls. Teachers are our second parents. They give us wings to soar, with a future full of hope. Teachers are like boatmen, bringing generations of students to the shore of love. Thank you, life, for allowing me to meet the most wonderful teachers.

Perhaps for each of us, our school days remain the most beautiful and cherished time in our lives. In the school where I study... though I have only recently joined, I know time will pass quickly. But every time my teacher stands at the podium to teach, I realize how important and beloved they are to me, just like a second father—my homeroom teacher.
It wasn’t long ago when I first entered this school, unfamiliar with everything, feeling anxious about meeting new friends, a new teacher, and a new class. On my first day, I thought my teacher was stern and strict. I was scared. I even talked behind his back and didn’t like him. Gradually, I realized I was wrong about him. He is someone who genuinely cares for me and worries about my well-being. He always strives to teach and guide us, no matter how much we mess up, he never gets angry. He uses fair methods to correct us, because if we make mistakes, there should be consequences. I believe he only wants us to become better people. Sometimes, I know I have disappointed him, but I’m trying my best to improve and not let him down anymore.
He has sparked in me a love for mathematics, igniting my passion with his first glance. I enjoy listening to him teach; no matter how difficult the problems are, he always takes the time to explain them to me patiently so that I can understand. Because of him, I’ve developed a deep fascination with math and continue to explore it further. I love the way he teaches, it’s unique. Unlike other teachers, he teaches in his own way, which has made many of us appreciate math more, proving that it’s not boring like we once thought. As we approach the end of the first semester, I realize that time has passed so quickly, and soon we’ll be facing exams. Yet, the lessons my teacher shared still resonate with me: 'The time we spend at school is the most beautiful, so let’s cherish those memories and work together to help each other in our studies. Let’s strive to fulfill our dreams for the future.'
I’m deeply grateful to my teacher. Although my time with him has just begun, I understand all the efforts he’s put in for our class. Even after I leave this school, leave my friends, and most importantly leave my teacher, I will never forget him. His humor, enthusiasm, and everything he has taught me will stay with me forever, etched in my heart. These precious moments will never fade but will continue to shine brightly in the pages of our school memories.
Thank you so much, teacher. Your humor and joyful spirit, along with your dedication, have given me countless opportunities to dream. Your optimism and strong will inspire me. I believe that over time and in the future, my class will reflect your efforts with bright colors, just like the sunset. Keep smiling, teacher, and know that your class will always be by your side, now and forever.

Life is a long journey filled with random encounters. Not every meeting leaves a deep mark or has a profound impact on our lives; sometimes, these moments pass by like a breeze, serving as a background that subtly enhances the portrait of our existence. I am also walking along my own path, with the first step being the journey of knowledge. Conquering it requires not only my efforts and determination but also the support, care, and guidance of my family, particularly the teachers who have steered me. They may not share our bloodline or any direct familial ties, but they have sacrificed so much for generations of students.
“Parents give us our bodies, but teachers give us knowledge.”
This statement is truly meaningful; the contribution of teachers is immeasurable. Perhaps, in our lifetime, we can never repay them fully. Teachers are the ones who guide students to the shores of the future. How can I forget the warm, gentle gazes of my teachers, always watching over us throughout our school days? The image of the female teachers in their graceful ao dai, and the serious yet loving male teachers, have left lasting memories in our minds. More than that, what impresses me the most is their smiles. These smiles may not be extravagant or extraordinary, but they are precious to me. They were encouragement when I scored high marks, a motivation for me to excel in my studies. When I made mistakes, the familiar faces no longer wore joyful smiles, replaced by stern expressions. Although my teachers didn’t scold me, I could read the slight sadness and disappointment in their eyes. In those moments, I felt so regretful for causing disappointment to my teachers. But it was through these moments that I recognized my mistakes and corrected them.
Now, I realize something: teachers don’t always smile at us, but when they do, it’s a smile filled with love, and it fills me with joy as if I’ve done something big for them. How could I forget those happy smiles, or the comforting ones that offered solace? Teachers, do you know that your smiles are the warm flames that light up the hearts of us, your students? Just knowing this, I feel incredibly fortunate compared to many other children. Teachers carry the weight of life, work, and family, yet they still dedicate themselves to nurturing us. Words can never fully express the depth of gratitude I feel for you, the ones who tirelessly work with lesson plans, imparting knowledge and wisdom to us. You haven’t forgotten the hardship of building a brighter world and a brighter future through education. The world of human knowledge is vast and infinite! But it is you, the teachers, who have guided us into a world that is new and unfamiliar to generations of students. And as days pass, I’ve grown accustomed to this school, which we now call our second home. The image of teachers, devoted and caring, teaching us not only knowledge but also essential life skills, has become an indelible impression in the minds of mischievous students like us. Teachers have worked hard to shape us into good people, helping us understand what kindness is. Teachers have created spaces for students to meet and understand one another. You are like parents to us. As time goes by, I now understand that being a teacher is not an easy life. I carry with me the immense gratitude for all teachers, with the deepest respect. Teachers, the knowledge you have passed down through generations has shown me that what we gather from the vast treasure of knowledge will dissipate into an empty void if we lose hope and step back. You have planted seeds of wisdom in the hearts of students, lighting the path of knowledge and leading us towards the future.
Oh! I wish I could always be the beloved student of my teachers, even though I know it’s impossible. Still, I hope that teachers will continue to guide many generations of students toward a magical world. Teachers, I don’t know how to express my feelings, but I just want to say thank you for all the wonderful, valuable lessons you have shared with us. You are the ones who row the boat toward a dreamy future.


5. Bài viết tri ân thầy cô số 8
Có một nghề, một công việc và cả một đời người để lặng lẽ hy sinh cho trí thức, cho những đôi cánh mơ ước bay cao bay xa trên bầu trời rộng lớn của niềm tin , nhiệt huyết tuổi trẻ rực cháy. Đó là nghề giáo – những người mang ánh sáng soi đời trẻ, lái chuyến đò chiều sang bến bờ, đò vinh quang đến nơi đất lạ. Ơn này sao đền đáp hết khi bụi phấn đã làm tóc thầy phai bạc. Xin tri ân thầy cô, ân tình sâu nặng của những người lái đò tâm huyết ấy.
Tôi không thể định nghĩa được tình thầy trò là gì? Phải chăng tình thầy trò có thể làm thay đổi cuộc sống của bạn dù chỉ là một phần nhỉ? Đó là tình cảm mà bạn có thể tìm thấy được một khoảnh khắc nào đó trong cuộc sống. Chắc hẳn trong chúng ta cũng đã có một thời gian gắn bó bên mái trường, được học tập dưới sự dìu dắt, chỉ bảo tận tình của thầy cô. Xúc động làm sao khi nghĩ về hình ảnh những người giáo viên đã luôn ân cần dạy dỗ chúng ta nên người.
Bánh xe thời gian cứ quay lặng lẽ, chúng tôi dần trưởng thành sau mỗi bài học, sau những buổi đứng lớp của các thầy các cô. Nhớ lắm tà áo dài thướt tha của cô, dáng đi nghiêm trang mà thân thiện của thầy. Nhớ lắm những bài học làm người, những tri thức khoa học mà mấy năm qua tôi được học nằm lòng. Một năm qua đi, chúng tôi lại phải chào tạm biệt những người thầy, người cô để bước tiếp sang lớp mới, học thêm những bài học mới. Lòng chúng tôi lại bồi hồi khi nhìn thấy hình bóng thân yêu của những người thầy người cô mà xưa kia đã giảng dạy chúng tôi bằng một tấm lòng tận tụy. Và mỗi năm cứ đến ngày 20/11, toàn thể học sinh trên khắp đất nước Việt Nam lại nhiệt liệt chào mừng ngày Nhà Giáo Việt Nam. Những nỗi vất vả, nhọc nhằn của những người làm nghề giáo, giờ đây được đền đáp bằng những bó hoa, những lời chúc vô cùng ý nghĩa của chính người học trò mà xưa kia mình đã dạy dỗ, bảo ban. Trên khuôn mặt của họ lúc bấy giờ rạng rỡ một nụ cười. Vâng, họ hạnh phúc, hạnh phúc không phải vì được đền đáp mà hạnh phúc vì được gặp lại những đứa con thân yêu mà họ đã coi như một phần của cuộc đời mình.
Cuộc sống có biết bao biến đổi nhưng nào đâu làm phai mờ đi tình cảm của người thầy người cô dành cho học dành cho học sinh thân yêu. Tình cảm ấy thiêng liêng, cao quý biết nhường nào. Tình yêu thương ấy đã sưởi ấm tâm hồn của biết bao người học sinh trong suốt cả cuộc đời đi học. Nếu một mai tôi không còn là một đứa trẻ, nếu một mai tôi rời khỏi sự ủ ấp của gia đình và nhà trường để tiếp tục bước đi và thử thách mình trên quãng đường còn lại, thì tôi sẽ không quên đâu! Không bao giờ quên công ơn sâu nặng và tình cảm bao la của thầy cô dành cho tất cả học sinh của mình- những đứa con mà họ coi như máu thịt, như một phần của cuộc đời.

Parents gave me a body,
Teachers gave me all the knowledge.
Yes! This is the most sacred and meaningful thing I deeply believe. My parents gave me a body. Teachers are like second parents who provide me with endless knowledge. The words "teacher" always echo in my heart and thoughts. How fortunate I am! Nature has granted me life, and beside me, there are those who gently guide and follow every step, helping me lead a meaningful life, always holding my head high toward a bright future. For this reason, I will forever cherish the immense kindness of my teachers.
The ocean is vast and deep,
But it cannot compare to the heart of a teacher.
Every day, I grow and receive the boundless love of my teachers. Teachers are like the boatmen who ferry generations of students to the shores of a happy future, only to continue their work on the flowing river. Day after day, countless students have crossed the river of knowledge. The river quietly flows on, and regardless of the circumstances, teachers continue their journey. Perhaps this is why:
The story from long ago, and still today
I now understand, Teacher! You are the great ferryboat guide
Your life has been quiet and full of self-sacrifice,
Steady at the helm, carrying the weight of love.
We, the passengers who have crossed the river, will continue to study diligently to honor our teachers. We hope that we will always see the satisfied smiles of our teachers. Teachers will forever be the guiding lights of our lives, the most dedicated ferryboat guides.
Someone once said: "Be grateful for the lamp for its light, but do not forget the one holding the lamp in the darkness." Teachers are the ones holding the eternal light of knowledge, enlightening our future path, and enabling our dreams to soar. One day, our dreams will land in a beautiful, bright world filled with colors and light. Surely, when we stand firmly in that bright future, we will never forget the kindness of our teachers.
To this day, we still believe in the saying: "A teacher for a single word, half a teacher for half a word," and it is our teachers who have helped us understand the profound meaning of this proverb.


7. Teacher Appreciation Article No. 10
Teachers – “the silent boatmen” who carry us to the shores of knowledge. While parents give us life and nurture us, teachers dedicate themselves to imparting knowledge and guiding us toward wisdom. They are the second parents, worthy of our respect and admiration.
From the moment we are born, we are nurtured by our fathers’ teachings, our mothers’ love, and the dreams that our teachers help us soar toward. No words can adequately express the immense contribution of our teachers. No matter how long we live, we will never be able to repay them.
“Teachers are the boats that carry us to the shores of the future.”
Teachers guide us along our own paths, helping us spread our wings to pursue our dreams. Each time we reach a milestone, we see our teachers age, their faces etched with the lines of time. They dedicate their lives to teaching, enduring hardships, working late into the night preparing lessons. Sometimes, we find them saddened when we stray from our studies, playing instead of focusing on our work. Teachers challenge us with life’s trials, offering us surprises and countless joys that fill our youth with colors. Through their passion and tireless effort, they steer us through storms and obstacles, helping us experience the best moments of our youth, times filled with wonderful memories. Their presence in our lives has shaped us not only as learners but as individuals who understand the deeper values of being human.
From the uncertain first days to now, as we grow older and more mature, we still see our teachers standing by, silently guiding us to reach our fullest potential. They have taught us what it means to have a student-teacher bond, a bond that we will never forget. We will forever be grateful and cherish this sacred relationship. The sacrifices of teachers are like a natural law; they continue to serve with devotion, giving without expecting anything in return. As we move on in life, the boatmen remain, silently watching us grow, smiling as they witness us becoming stronger and more mature.
On the occasion of November 20th, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the teachers of [School Name], who have added to our knowledge, intellect, and character, preparing us for the future. All my love, respect, and gratitude go to those who helped me become the person I am today. I wish my teachers good health, happiness, and success in their noble work of nurturing future generations.


8. Thank You Message to Teachers #1
For every generation of students, school is where the vibrant and passionate youth comes alive, filled with love and aspirations. It holds countless memories of teacher-student relationships and friendship. It nurtures our dreams and helps them soar toward the vast horizon of knowledge. As we grow older, we each carry unique marks of those unforgettable moments, the carefree dreams, the occasional worries, and spontaneous ideas that came and went. All these experiences are shaped and enriched under the school’s roof, where friends and teachers stand by us to share every joy and sorrow.
How many are there who do not need a teacher
As the saying goes, 'Without a teacher, how can one succeed.'
Teachers, with just two words, make us feel their greatness and sacredness. Perhaps the love for the profession and for children runs deep within every teacher. Once becoming educators, the passion and dedication inside them surge. Teachers are the guiding lights who show us the path in our lives, nurturing our dreams for a brighter future.
Each teacher is a diligent guide. When the school year ends, it marks the arrival of another journey completed. A journey filled with hard work and commitment. A journey that carries the knowledge and love teachers wish to impart to each of us. We know that it takes late nights, tireless efforts, and many sacrifices for teachers to do this. Those are the sweat and tears of the teachers. We will always cherish that boundless love in our hearts.
Teachers are the ones who give all their love to their students, even those who drive them to frustration, those who misbehave and even get temporarily suspended from classes. Teachers endure the mischiefs and often become the saviors for students being bullied. Teachers are like idols to us, or even like second parents. They open the doors for us to access the vast ocean of knowledge, to realize how small we still are. Tirelessly, teachers never rest, enlightening each batch of students and paving the way for a brighter future. The brilliant world of tomorrow is due to the teachers’ sacrifices for their students.
The love each teacher gives to their dear students is just like the love parents have for us. That is why people often say teachers are like second parents. Teachers console and support us immensely every time we fail, stumble, or experience the joy of success. When they see our tears in moments of failure, they too cannot hide their tears. During those times, they hug us and wish that their warmth can soothe the pain in our hearts, as they love us like their own children.
We are growing up and have had many teachers. Each teacher cares for their students like gardeners, ensuring each flower blooms and grows into a person who contributes to society. Every teacher, despite having different personalities, shares one thing in common—a passion for their profession, a love for their students, and an unwavering dedication.
Dear Teachers! The 20th of November is approaching. While we may not know how to repay the enormous debt we owe, we offer our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to you. We promise to study hard and achieve success in life to meet your expectations and hopes. Even if our path in life is filled with storms, we will continue moving forward because we know that somewhere, you will always smile and watch over us.
Time, please stop, don’t pass
So we can bow and call out 'Teacher' once more with all our love…


9. Tribute to Teachers - Article 2
Alexander the Great once said, "I owe my life to my parents, but my teacher taught me how to live well." Indeed, in every person's life, aside from our parents who gave us birth, teachers play an essential role. For students, teachers are like second parents.
From the time we were in kindergarten, teachers taught us how to eat, how to greet others, and to write letters, starting with the round letter O and moving to the first letter of the alphabet A. In the first grade, teachers taught us how to read and write, building our reading and speaking skills, helping us learn life skills. As we progressed through school, teachers imparted more wisdom, and even in university, they provided us with new knowledge, preparing us for life and giving us unforgettable student memories. They are like second fathers and mothers to us.
Day by day, we climb the ladder of knowledge, and teachers are always there to guide us. From a good grade, a brilliant idea, to a small mistake or failure to memorize a lesson, teachers are there to praise or correct us. They are the silent forces that bring us to the peak of knowledge, shaping our bright futures.
Even as we grow older, even if we move far away or achieve success, the one thing that will never change is that they were once our teachers, the ones who shaped the future of the country. Any respectable profession is noble, but teaching is considered the most noble of all professions. Teachers are not only guides but also the ones who keep the flame of knowledge alive, sharing their love and hope. They heal the wounds of our youthful innocence with the care no medicine can provide.
Who among us has not had a teacher?
The world often says, "Without a teacher, one cannot succeed."
With just two words, 'teacher' feels so sacred and revered. Perhaps the love for the profession and for children runs deep in them. When they become teachers, their passion and dedication fill every part of their being. Teachers guide us on our own personal journey, nurturing our dreams of a brighter future. On November 20th, we honor these silent warriors who dedicate their lives to generations of students. Their greatest reward is not a material gift but our growth and success, the result of the combined effort of teachers and students. After leaving school, we will feel regret, wishing time would turn back to sit once more in the classroom, to hear the teacher’s lecture, to be scolded or comforted by them, to be praised again... But time does not turn back, just as we can only live once. Thus, we must cherish these people who have helped bring us happiness and shaped our future.
The wind blew suddenly this morning.
I saw the teacher's hair turning white.
I tell myself it's just chalk dust,
But my heart can't stop aching.
How many years have passed? How many years has it been, teacher?
The class of students has gone, while the teacher remains.
The oars are like pieces of white chalk,
And the teacher is the diligent guide,
Leading us to define our future.
Oh time, please stop, don’t drift away.
Let us bow once more in reverence
And call out to our teachers with all our love...


10. Tribute to Teachers Article #3
"There is a profession with chalk dust on its hands
They say it is the purest profession
There is a profession that doesn't plant trees on the earth
Yet blooms fragrant flowers for life"
On a chilly day with a light drizzle towards the end of November, I suddenly realized that the 20th of November is approaching – the day when we all express our gratitude towards our teachers.
Who taught us how to read, how to write? Who brought knowledge to us? Who imparted the values of what is good and right? Who inspired me to grow? Who helped me stand up when I fell? Who worked tirelessly for the students despite the harsh weather and difficulties? Who? The simple words “Teachers” have become so sacred in our memories and hearts. As we attend school, as we get to know our teachers, we realize their importance and deepen our appreciation for them, those who help make our dreams a reality. Teachers are the architects of the soul, shaping the future of society by creating human beings. To ensure their creations are genuine and not counterfeit, teachers work so hard they sometimes forget themselves.
“The teacher stands by the edge of the dream. Though the years pass by, the river runs, and the wind blows, who remembers and who forgets the old boat… Even as time flows on endlessly, with hair turning gray, the teacher still stands by the schoolyard of those years, watching over us in life, still, when the rain falls, still wearing the old coat worn on the shoulders, walking silently through joy and sorrow. Even as time continues its course, no matter how many seasons the leaves fall, the teacher comes like countless rays of sunlight, illuminating our steps through life. Though we count every star in the night sky, though we count every autumn leaf falling, it is impossible to ever measure the debt we owe our teacher.” The teacher, with their dreams, their passion for teaching, fulfilling their duty to shape students into individuals. Teachers are like lighthouses guiding us, like the warmth of a flame, guiding us through life's challenges. Teachers give us hope, they teach us to love our homeland. Teachers are our emotional support.
Life goes on, the teacher continues to row the boat across the river each year, but few truly return from the journey without remembering the two words “Gratitude.” Many times, when facing difficulties and contemplating giving up on our dreams, the words and lessons from our teachers have given us the strength to rise again and the confidence to continue. This is the faith in victory:
“…..Even if there are hardships, believe, my friend, that we can always trust
Even if there is pain, my friend, keep faith
The faith in victory will take us to the shores of joy
The faith in victory connects hearts of love
The faith in victory will guide us through life
The faith in victory will always remain in our hearts…”
The 20th of November is approaching, and we want to send our heartfelt wishes to our teachers. We wish you continued success, happiness, and health so you can keep guiding the future. We promise to study hard so that when we step into the glory of life, you can be proud of the student you once taught. Teacher, wherever you are, there is still a student who remembers you, still cherishing your name in their heart. Simply because we know that you gave us a new perspective on life and shared valuable lessons with us...
