1. Use appropriate tone and form. The thank-you page is an important element behind a formal thesis or dissertation. It is very difficult to add a personalized paragraph to the end of an academic article. If you attach "Once he brings some cookies to my lab, I hope I have more nuts" to your intergenerational cancer research, that's too much and it looks strange. Thank you pages should be professional and concise, and at the same time, let the people who have helped you feel special. [ 1]

It is also acceptable to summarize everyone you want to thank in more specific language: "I want to thank Professor Zhang for his expert advice and encouragement. He helped me complete a lot of difficult work, and I also want to thank Dr. Ma for his great help to the laboratory. "

Some people feel that it seems uncomfortable to emphasize only the help of some people. In this case, it is a good way to write thanks alphabetically.

2. Start with the most important person. Generally speaking, the most important person in the thank-you letter is your thesis supervisor or the professor who is mainly responsible for reviewing your project, followed by other teachers directly related to your thesis in the thesis Committee and other supervisory committees.

Generally speaking, it is better to think collectively. You can also thank a specific group in one sentence: "Thank you Dr. Wang, Dr. Li and Professor Zhang for their strong support for my thesis writing."

4. Thank you for the possible financial support. If your project has received financial support from any foundation or research institution, such as grants, scholarships, etc., it is very necessary to thank the foundation or organization. List their names and personal relationships between you.

If your university scholarship is provided by any bursary or scholarship organization, it is appropriate to mention their names in this section: "The completion of this project cannot be separated from the support of xx Foundation, xx Scholarship and xx Institution."

5. Give more personal thanks and emotional support to the last person. Many people like to thank their parents, friends, collaborators or others who give them emotional support. But there is no need to thank the people in the primary school basketball team, unless this experience is of special help to your degree.

Remember that your friendship and relationship may change over time, so it's best not to put those particularly sentimental romantic relationships in gratitude, so you don't have to face them repeatedly after the relationship ends.

Generally speaking, it is best to avoid too personal content or jokes in thanks. If you want to mention other students, you can say "thank Lily and Xiaoping for their friendship in the lab" instead of "thank Lily and Xiaoping for making fun of me when I was drunk."
