　　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

　　Section III Writing

　　52.

　　一、审题与谋篇

　　本题为图画加提纲式作文。由于指导语对文章主题的提示较少，所以要确定主题，关键是看图。从图中我们看到，两个医生正若无其事地挤一条被单，但挤出来的是钱而不是水。可见，作文主题是：医院缺乏医德，谋取暴利的问题。根据指导语，作文必须包括以下三点：(1)描述图画,(2)说明图画揭示的问题,(3)发表你对该现象的看法。

　　二、参考范文

　　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.
