Letter number 52 You have an evening class and your teacher gave you an essay to work on for the weekend. However, you were not able to finish the essay. Write a letter saying the following: - outline the subject of your essay - what happened why you did not finish it - tell what you will do to finish it. Dear Sir, I am Harneet, your student from the evening batch of ESL (English as a second language). Last weekend, you gave the essay on ‘Rote learning as opposed to Meaningful learning’. I am writing this letter to express my inability to complete the essay in time. The topic of ‘Rote learning as opposed to Meaningful learning’ as such is not difficult but I could not find enough matter to write. I could not go to the library as the weather was very bad during the weekend. I wanted to search the internet but that too was not working. This topic was also not there in the essay books that I had at home. So, I could not finish the essay. Please give me two more days to write the essay. I shall sit in the library and search this topic from the books there and I shall also surf on the net to write a really nice essay. I am very keen on learning how to write good essays. I shall try me level best to submit my essay by Thursday. Hoping for a kind consideration from you regarding this matter! Yours faithfully, Harneet
