在選擇合適大學課程的時候，學生可能會因為不同原因需要跟學校電話或email聯繫。如果信件寫得方式不對，不只會讓對方覺得沒禮貌，如果有特殊請求可能還會被拒絕。我們來跟大家分寫信件需要的內容，讓學生跟學校溝通時可以更專業！
誰可以寫信給學校
只有學生可以寫信給大學！如果寄件人是家長、親戚、或顧問，會讓美國大學覺得學生很不成熟，是一個媽寶。高中生已經有能力跟責任要為自己負責了，所以這封信必須是學生自己寫。
什麼情況要寫信給大學
報名一堂課之前，你可能會有下面這些原因須要寫信給學校：
- 大學官網上的資訊不完整，你想了解一堂課程的資料
- 你想詢問你能不能（或有沒資格）上一堂課
- 你有特殊情況（如無法參與其中一週的課程）希望了解你是否還是能上
- 你有特殊請求，希望得到對方同意
- 你有其他問題想問學校或教授

I am fully aware of the expectations and commitments for this class as stated in the syllabus, and I will be attending all lectures on time as well as work on the assignments and tests to my best ability.
