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

Some people think that schools are too competitive and that this has a negative impact on children. Others believe the competitive environment encourages children to achieve. Discuss both these views and give your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
In this hyper-competitive academic landscape, the relentless pursuit of academic excellence has led many students to be at war during exams; fighting to be the best of the best in their respective schools. This has recently caused a stir in the parent community, as they worry about their children's mental well-being. Undeniably, the harmless competition encourages young minds to thrive to be better, but at what cost? Some students are left burnt out as a result of cognitive overload. Therefore, is this healthy competition absolutely necessary? Or will it bring more harm than good? In this essay, I will discuss both views on the topic.

In those days, most people used to work their whole career in the same company. These days, employees change several times of jobs in their lives.
