Dear Sir/Maam, I'm Angelica Smith, I've been working in your company for almost 5 years now, in the position of Senior Sales Accountant. I'm writing

this

letter to make a formal request that you allow me to have a one-month leave in order for me to treat my illness that concern my left

eye

. For a couple of weeks, I've been feeling pain in my

eye

, whenever I feel stressed or tired from work. Somehow, it subside if I drank medicine for pain, but recently, the pain was unbearable. I went to the hospital 3 days ago, and the doctor says that I have a cataract on my left

eye

, and it needs to get treated immediately. The treatment will take three weeks and one week of rest for my

eye

to be fully healed. Rest assured that during my absence, I'll still get updated on my work. I asked my junior staff to keep me informed if there is work that they don't know about and send it to my e-mail. Most of the major papers for the month we're already finished, for I don't want it to be a problem for the company in the future. If there are problems that need my help, I can be reachable on my cellphone anytime. I'm hoping that you'll take into consideration of my request. Yours truly, Angelica

Topic: Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environment problems. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
It has always been a controversial issue whether lack of special species of plant and animals is the most challenges of environment or we should concentrate on other environment problems more. In my point of view, however some particular of creatures and plant are in danger, it is a good idea that individuals focus on tackling other environmental difficulties.

People today are suffering more and more stress related problems than in the past. What is the cause of this? What are the possible effects of this development?
In 2020, I bought a condominium that was still under construction and it was predicted to be completed in 2023. However, owing to the pandemic of Covid-19, the completion date has been delayed. On April 30, 2024, I completed the vacant possession appointment for house key collection. Me and my husband have spent lots of time and funds on the house renovation and furniture. At the end of June, We started to move into our first owned house. I would like to state that for me to pursue this qualification by taking a course in Australia would create various job opportunities and better salaries. I wish that with this benefit, I can contribute more to my family, home country and promising life as me and my husband have planned to have a child in the future.

Some people like to spend their leisure time with their colleagues while others prefer to keep their private life separate from their work life. Is it a good thing to spend leisure time with colleague?
Many people prefer enjoying their free time with people outside their work, instead of hanging out with their colleagues because they want to separate their personal things from their work life. I argue that it is preferable to split the work environment with the private life because most people do not want to remember their work responsibilities when they are enjoying their off days.
