　　Dear Mr. Wang,

　　I very much regret I was unable to attend your English class next Friday.

　　As you may know, we senior students have been busy looking for jobs since the beginning of this semester. Luckily, I have got an opportunity to be interviewed by a well-known large public company, which I have longed to enter. Unfortunately, the interview is scheduled for next Friday. I really don’t want to miss this valuable chance, so I have to ask for leave. I know mid-term exam is approaching, and next Friday’s class is important. In order to make up for it, I will ask a classmate to copy your PPT and take notes for me. I will study them carefully and hand in all the homework on time.

　　I shall be very much obliged if you can approve my application. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by my absence.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ming

　　一、審題與謀篇

　　本題為圖畫加提綱式作文。由于指導語對文章主題的提示較少，所以要確定主題，關鍵是看圖。從圖中我們看到，兩個醫生正若無其事地擠一條被單，但擠出來的是錢而不是水。可見，作文主題是：醫院缺乏醫德，謀取暴利的問題。根據指導語，作文必須包括以下三點：(1)描述圖畫,(2)說明圖畫揭示的問題,(3)發表你對該現象的看法。

　　二、參考范文

　　As is shown in this picture, two doctors are trying hard to squeeze a sheet, but out of our expectation, what they get from the wet sheet is not water but money.

　　Obviously, this picture implies a horrible phenomenon in China: what hospitals care most is earning money instead of saving lives. It is a secret from no one that some hospitals nowadays are making profits by prescribing more expensive medicines to patients or arranging unnecessary medical examinations for them. They get such a high profit that it seems they’ve got the license to print money. What these hospitals forget is one crucial principle that should be observed as their doctrine—hospitals should be the right place to save lives rather than somewhere to make undue profits.

　　Then how to avoid a further worsening of this tendency has become a hotly discussed topic in media. One measure is to make the purchasing process more transparent, thus to bring down the price of medicines. Moreover, the patients should be well informed so that they may buy cheaper medicine which has the same effects as the expensive one. We have confidence that, if sound measures are taken, hospitals will become a much purer place in the near future.
