안녕하세요 여러분,

오늘의 질문을 함께 볼까요?

[ Q ]  There is a course you really want to take, but it is already full. Call your professor and explain your situation to get permission to take the course.

정말로 듣고 싶은 과목이 있지만 이미 수강 인원이 다 찼으니 교수님께 전화를 걸어 수업을 듣기 위한 허락을 받도록 설명하라는 문제네요. 단순히 그 수업을 듣고 싶다기 보다는 그 수업이 필수 과목이라 꼭 들어야만 한다는 점 또한 강조하여 설명할 수 있겠네요. 교수님께 정중히 부탁드리는 어조로 답변하면 좋겠습니다.

[ 필수 표현 ]

* enroll in ~에 등록하다

* mandatory class 필수 과목

자, 그렇다면 질문에 대한 체계적인 답변을 만들어 볼까요?

[ Model Answer ]

Hello, Professor Smith? Hi, this is James Park. I’m calling you because there is a course I really want to take. I want to enroll in your Accounting class this semester, but it’s already full. I am well aware of the fact that your class is really popular and it is totally my responsibility to fail to sign up for your class. Well, I’m a senior and will be graduating next year, so this is the last chance for me to take your class. In addition, your Accounting class is one of the mandatory courses for me to graduate. So, could you please understand my situation and let me take the course? I promise I’ll do my best to keep up with your class once I get your permission to take the course. Please let me know what I should. I’ll look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
