延後入學信 

我要寫信給美國的學校要求保留入學,我的表達的意思是:「雖然學校已經同意讓我辦理留職停薪,但因為師資安排的問題,同一科目也有其他老師要辦留職停薪去進修,學校要求我(年資較淺)把已經帶了兩年的導師班帶到畢業後再出國去進修。」

 

Although my present employer has agreed to my leave without pay, the school is asking that I, as a rather junior faculty member, stay for another year before going abroad to pursue further studies.  Two reasons were given: one, there are already teachers who are on leave in my division; and two, I should try to guide my class of sophomores to their graduation next year.  As much as I would like to take the leave this year, I am afraid I would have great difficulties persuading my superiors.   That is why I am writing to inquire about the possibility of delaying my admission for one year.
