Dear Sir, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to request some time off from work on May 28, because I need to attend a family function. My parents will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on May 29. On that occasion, my brother and I planned a party for them. The event will take place in the morning, and I need to finalise a few designs and the menu with the catering team on May 28 at noon time around 4 PM. I need time off for 4 hours on that day, which means I'll leave the office at 1 PM and will go straight to the catering office, to finalise some important arrangements. Meanwhile, I have already talked with John to have a closer look at my support inbox, in case any high-priority ticket gets raised. He agreed to take care of that. Thanks for understanding my concern. Sincerely, Mohit

In a number of countries, some people think its is necessary to spend large sums of money on constructing new railway lines for very fast trains between cities. Others believe the money should be spent on improving existing public transport. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
In various nations, people are debating over the allocation of huge funds for transportation infrastructure whether the investments should be directed towards the construction of new high-speed railway lines between cities or enhancing the existing public transport system. I do agree with the idea of improving current systems as it seems more practical and helpful for a larger number of individuals even though the decision depends on each country’s specific needs and priorities.
