Dear Mr. Wang,
I very much regret I was unable to attend your English class next Friday.
As you may know, we senior students have been busy looking for jobs since the beginning of this semester. Luckily, I have got an opportunity to be interviewed by a well-known large public company, which I have longed to enter. Unfortunately, the interview is scheduled for next Friday. I really don’t want to miss this valuable chance, so I have to ask for leave. I know mid-term exam is approaching, and next Friday’s class is important. In order to make up for it, I will ask a classmate to copy your PPT and take notes for me. I will study them carefully and hand in all the homework on time.
I shall be very much obliged if you can approve my application. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by my absence.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

第9题：
B: I think our staff members would be happy with this practical idea. They have complained that the present working time is too restricted. They say the working time should be flexible.
A: In what ways?
B: The company should allow the staff to build up a credit of hours to entitle them to take a few hours or a day off.
A: But don’t you think there would be chaos?
B: What do you mean by “chaos”?
A: There would be no one in any department knowing who was in at what time. And people who phone the company or visit our company would get terribly confused.
B: Well, I’m sorry to interrupt. In my opinion, we should make cover arrangements. When people are sick or when people take holiday the same kind of arrangements is made.
A: Er. Mr. Brown, what are your views?
B: Frankly, I think it’s difficult for our section to have flexible time. There are three of us in our section and we work as a team. Therefore, if we had anyone off then we wouldn’t be able to manage.
