请假条

尊敬的老师 ：

我是Elizabeth，对不起这几天我没来上课。因为上周我感冒了，并在周末发展成咳嗽，现在我每天都不停地咳嗽，觉得很不舒服。

星期一我去看了医生， 我请她给我开病假条, 但是她说, 第一周生病不能开。我觉得当我感冒咳嗽的时候去上课，对老师和同学会有影响，所以我没有来。 

我不担心我的功课会跟不上， 因为我们现在学习的中文很简单， 而且我已经知道这周的词汇和语法。

如果星期四我觉得身体好一点， 我会尽量来上课。另外，即使我依然觉得很不舒服， 我也一定会参加星期五的考试。 

希望您能理解并同意我的请假申请。 

祝您身体健康 ！

Dear teacher.

This is Elizabeth. Sorry I have not been to class the last few days, I am not feeling very well at the moment. Last week I caught a cold, but over the weekend the cold has become a cough. Now I am coughing all day everyday. On Monday i went to see the doctor, I asked her to give me a sick note but she said, the first week of illness (being ill) the doctors are not allowed to issue sick notes. I feel coming to class when I have a cough and cold is not fair on my teachers or class mates, so I decided it was best not to come to class.

I am not worried about falling behind because we are studying very simple chinese right now and I already know all of this weeks vocabulary and grammar.

If I am feeling a little better on thursday i will try to come back to class. Even if I am still not well, I will definitely attend Fridays test.

I hope you can understand my decision to not come to class.

Wishing you good health.
