Dear ................. ,
There are three main things to consider before writing your essay:
1. Tone (formal or informal)
Sometimes students are friendly with their tutors, but I think it would be better to write a formal letter. Start with your tutor’s surname (e.g. Dear Mr. Smith,) and end with “Yours sincerely,”. Avoid contractions (write “I am” instead of “I’m”), and avoid using informal idioms or expressions. Be polite rather than friendly.
2. Purpose
The main purpose of this letter is to inform your tutor that you are leaving the course. Make this clear straight away (e.g. I am writing to inform you that...). Then cover the three points, writing a short paragraph for each.
3. Ideas
I recommend spending a few minutes planning ideas for each of the task points before you start writing. You need to decide what the evening course is about, what your full-time job is, a reason why you are too busy with work to continue with the course, and whether you want to leave completely or perhaps continue at a later date.
You should write at least 150 words.

Dear Ms. McKeen,
My name is Leo Smith and I am a first-year student in your Marketing class at Capilano College. I am writing to you because I have a problem with the project you set about social media. The due date was last week but I'm afraid I haven't finished it yet. As you know, I have been absent from class for almost ten days with COVID-19 symptoms and I have not been attending lectures. I only managed to get the reading list from a friend and go to the library to do research yesterday. You will see from your records that I have never missed a deadline for an assignment so far during my course.
However, I am requesting an extension of one week in this case because I am so behind with my work. I hope you will take my illness into consideration and grant me an extension.
Yours sincerely,
Leo Smith

Suhird- What is new?
Yashank- Well I wanted to meet you because I really want to talk to you about my friend.
Suhird- Okay

Suhird- Did you try to talk to him?
Yashank-Yes but he neither listens to me nor my friends.
Suhird- Do teachers know about him?
Yashank- I guess, but they just ignore him while they are teaching.
Suhird – why don’t you try talking to him again?
Yashank- I have done several times, but he still doesn’t pay attention.
Suhird- I think you should talk to his class teacher about him. Since they have more experience than us in handling students.
Yashank- OKAY, it sounds like a good idea. I will also ask him to make the subject more interesting and practical so that he is able to concentrate more on his studies.
Suhird- Do you need help with anything else?
Yashank- No, thank you for your time.
