You have a full-time job and are also doing a part-time evening course.
You now find that you cannot continue the course.
Write a letter to the course tutor. In your letter.
Describe the situation
Explain why you cannot continue at this time
Say what action you would like to take.
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing to inform you that I discontinue the course.
I work in an insurance company and my boss told me that I need to improve my English if I want to get a promotion to a manager position. Consequently, I decided to enroll in your Business English course. It appears that all my hard work pays off because I have been recently given a proposal to become a head of the department in which I currently work.
Unfortunately, although I have a desire to continue studying, it seems to be impossible. Firstly, my novel job requires working extended hours. I used to finish my day at 6:00 pm but nowadays I have to work till 9:30 pm. Secondly, I have just moved from my apartments that were located near the school to a new house that is near my office to save my time on commuting. Thus, I will not have enough time to continue my course.
Finally, I would like to get a full refund for the next term because I paid in advance. It will be convenient to get my money on my credit card. I would also like to sell my textbooks. They are hardly used, so maybe someone of your listeners would like to buy them for a half of the price.
I am waiting for your prompt response.
Sincerely yours,
Eugene Dubinchuk

Dear Sir,
Dear Sir,
may you describe shortly what are requirements to a decent essay?
My exam is looming on the horizon but I could not grasp the difference between good and bad essay.
I usually do not have problems with grammar, so I think that if I know the requirements, I will write nice essays.
From you previous commentaries I learnt that essay ought to be at least 200 words.
Words and structures, should not be repeated too often
I should give two reasons to each bullet point.
What do I miss?
Thank you.
For a decent essay, it simply
For a decent essay, it simply means minor or no flaws in the essays. Either e-grader or human graders are actively looking for the flaws. The less flaws, the more marks. So it is wrong to try to bring a list for what I should do, instead, keep in mind what I should not do.
The biggest issue for you is neither grammar, nor sentences, it is the understanding of the topic and the structure. You have some flaws in grammar, or sentences, but they are not serious. Other users have these or those issue too. It is very important for you to put more time on the topic before writing. Make sure it is right on the topic. Then you should get a very decent score.
