範例一：Mother’s wedding
I would like to ask for one day off next week.
Do you think the manager will agree?
I know it is the busy time for our company, but I do have some important things to handle.
Well, it is hard to say. At least you need to come up with a good reason.
Actually, it is my mother’s wedding. My parents porced many years ago. Now she is ready to establish a new family. It is a special occasion. I’ve got to be there, right?
Yes, you should be there. Go find the manager and ask. I think the manager will understand and approve you a day off. Don’t forget to fill in the leave application form. It will be signed by the manager for approval.
Thank you so much.
範例二：Headache is killing me
Can I ask for leave this afternoon?
What is the problem?
I had a headache this morning. I didn’t pay attention to it. I thought probably it is because I didn’t sleep well. But now it is getting worse and worse. I feel quite dizzy now and my eyes are somehow very light-sensitive. Maybe it is the migrated.
It is ok. You look really pale and red eyes. I suggest you go home immediately and have a good rest.
Thank you very much. I am sure good rest will do indeed. I don’t have this too often.
範例三：A note from the doctor
Listen, you can not afford another day off. You’ve called in sick five times in the last three weeks.
I know, but I am really sick.
Well. I want a note from the doctor this one and to be honest, if it continues, we may not be able to have you here.
I understand, sir. I’ll bring a doctor’s note in tomorrow. I am sorry, Mr. Thomas.
