written request for leave
I wrote an excuse for my absence from school.
我写了一张请假条,说明缺课的原因.
请假条(written request for leave)是英语学习者必须掌握的常用应用文之一,它包括请病假(note for sick leave)和请事假(leave of absence).请假条是用于向老师或上级领导等因身体状况不好或因某事请求准假的场合.
英文请假条写作需注意三点：
1.英文中请假条的写法和汉语请假条相同,它一般由四部分组成,即时间、称呼、正文和签名.
2.一般而言,可认定请假条是一种简单的书信文体.请假条一般写在纸上,不用信封.其书写格式与书信有很多相似之处,是书信的大大简化.
3.请假条的特点是要求开门见山、内容简短、用词通俗易懂.
【范文例析】
假如你是王立.昨天你和同学们去农场帮助农民们摘苹果,不幸(unluckily)从梯子上摔下来伤了腿,但伤得不重.医生让你在家里好好休息.因此,你向高老师请假两天(ask for leave for two days).

Dear Miss Gao,
I'm sorry I can't go to school today.I helped the farmers pick apples with my classmates on the farm yesterday.Unluckily,I fell off the ladder and hurt my leg,but I wasn't badly hurt.The doctor asked me to stay in bed and have a good rest.So I ask for leave for two days.
