You would like to request time off from work for a family function. Write a letter to your manager. In your letter: Give details of the event Explain why you need time off Suggest how your work could be managed during your absence

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

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

Nowadays, an increasing number of people with helath problems are using alternative medicine and treatment instead of visitiong their normal doctor. Do you think this is a positive or negative development.
In recent years, more people have begun to turn to alternative medicine rather than seeking help from their regular doctors. While some see this trend as a positive move towards more natural and holistic healing, I believe it presents more dangers such as insecurity and lack of doctor's qualifications.

The internet has significantly transformed global communication, allowing people to connect instantly across vast distances and across borders.

Some people think that to be successful in sports natural ability is the main important reason others think that hard work and practice is more important Discuss both views with opinion
Some argue that to be a great athlete you must have inborn qualities like a good body and talent, while others think this is not only relevant to talent or physical attributes, and hard work is the key to success in sport. While having innate abilities can increase the chance of success, it is not enough and if athletes don't work hard, there will be no chance of success. In my opinion, the probability of achieving success in sports with hard work is 99% higher than if you leave it to chance.
