First, what qualifications do I need to follow a course of study at your university? I already have a masters degree from a university here in China, but I wonder if there are any further academic requirements. Second, how much are the tuition fees? Although I intend to be self - supporting, I would be interested to hear if there are any scholarships available for international students. Third, what is the situation as regards accommodation? I would prefer a single room, which is more conducive to studying, but if single rooms are expensive, I would be willing to share. I look forward to your reply, and to attending your esteemed institution. Yours sincerely, Li Ming 9. 请求信 A Letter of Request You find that your study load is too heavy. Write a letter to your college teacher explaining why you need to withdraw from two courses. Ask if it is possible to obtain a refund. Dear Prof. James, I am writing to formally request to withdraw from two courses: Introduction to Elementary Education and Teaching Methods . The main reason for reducing my course load is that I am finding it extremely difficult to manage six courses. In the beginning of the term, I was perhaps overly optimistic about juggling both my full - time studies and my part - time job . Because I really must work part time, I have no other choice but to decrease my course load. I am planning on taking the two courses during the summer semester, if they are available, so that I will be able to complete all the courses for the degree program by the following year. |
