Subject: About assignment in marketing class
Dear. Dr.Miller
I hope you are doing well.
I am a student in your marketing class, and I am writing this email to ask for advice regarding the situation of my group.
* 교수님께 우리 팀의 상황을 ‘안내’해드리는 것이 아니므로 inform 은 부적절합니다.
* 도움을 요청한다기보다는 조언이나 부탁을 드리는 상황이므로 help 보다는 advice가 더 적절.
* our team situation 이라는 표현은 영어스럽지 못합니다.
For the past few days, a member in our group has been unreachable. We have tried to contact him, but he has not answered from then.
So, we are having difficulties dividing assignments again for our group project, which has taken extra time.
* struggle from A는 A 때문에 고생을 겪는다는 뜻이므로, 여기서는 해결하는데 어려움이 많다는 뜻의 have difficulties를 쓰는 것이 적절.
As well as the quality of our project, we are also worried that we cannot finish the assignment on time due to his absence.
* 프로젝트의 완성도(질)가 떨어질 것도 걱정되지만, 제 시간에 못끝낼 것 같다는 내용을 사용하고 싶었던 것 같아서 조금 바꿔봤습니다.
So could you please give us some advice, or afford a brief meeting with us to discuss the matter?
* I would like to 는 상대방의 문의나 질문에 대한 답변으로서의 정중한 표현이므로, 상대에게 무언가를 부탁할 때에는 could you가 더 적절.
Thank you for your time and help.

Subject: Request for extending the loan period
Dear, head librarian
I hope you are doing well.
I have borrowed a textbook from the university library, whose title is ‘______‘, and it is due tomorrow.
However, I need this book for my graduation thesis because it has many important statistics to inspect.
Since it is going to take more time to finish my thesis, I believe I need to keep this book longer.
So I was wondering if it would be possible to extend my loan period.
And, if the extension is possible, could you please let me know what I need to do proceed it?
Thank you for your help, and I look forward to your answer as soon as possible.
From Kim.

Subject: Proposal for our meal options
Dear Campus Dining Service
I am one of the students who feel grateful for the excellent meals you provide.
Thanks to your service, I am able to have fine meals at an affordable price.
I’m writing to make a suggesting regarding the menu.
I sometimes enjoy vegetarian meals. And, according to the preference survey in the campus,
a large portion of the students answered favorably for vegetarian meals.
Yet, I figured out that I can hardly find vegetarian options in your menu.
Therefore, I’d like to propose you to include more vegetarian options to meet the needs of the students for healthier diet, which would both satisfy the students and increase your profit.
Thank you for considering my proposal.
Sincerely,
kim.
