Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a 4th year undergraduate student of computer and programming academic study. I enrolled in your history class this term which was in the morning of Sunday and Tuesday.

Unfortunately, I found a full time job with good salary in the city from Saturday to Monday 8 AM to 3 PM, so that can help me to pay the university tuition in time, in addition to save some extra money for the next term, consequently that job will prevent me to attend your class.

Because of your reputation and my insisting to attend your class and do not miss any of it, I am writing to ask if you could help me to postpone it to the next term, otherwise a refund of class tuition may be asked to be given.

I am looking forward to hear from you soon

Yours faithfully

My first impression about the house was good unless we were accomodate in it for a few days. Unfortunately I realized that the living and child room furniture were horribly old, I am certain that once you are aware of what kind of bad quality uphostery and dirty smelled couches, you will be as appalled as I am.

In addition to that, the child room cabinet is not a fixed one, as I cannot open it properly or hold a mess of clothes inside it.

I write this letter to ask you to look into this to arrange for new living and child room furniture, or to send a replacement of the bad items temporarly.

Aside from the judgement about solutions, I would like to inform you that I will look for another apartment to transfer soon under denying of my request.

Writing Feedback / do you prefer to have big or small family? and Why? [3]

I grew up in a big family and it was really good, I have 7 brothers and two sisters and my parents, so there were lots of people around and I think a big family is good. You're never lonely and there's always someone to hang around with or play with or do something with and lots of things to share, in addition you learn some good values being patient and cooperative.

What is better between having big or small family? Is depends on the age of the person. I think it is valuable for any kid to have brothers and sisters, to share your thinking, interesting, and your special memories, someone you can trust, and feedback your faults.

On The other hand, it is better to just have a very small family especially for parents, maybe just one or two children because things are so expensive and it's just really hard to raise a big family nowadays.

In conclusion, and as I have a big family, I prefer to have small one consist of one or two kids with my wife and I. So I can take care of them more and focus of their education and lives.
