What do I say in this email to my teacher?

We Answered:

Well, when I was in High School, if I was genuinely sick and the School documented it as an Excused absence, and they gave me an "Excused Absence" slip...usually the teachers would allow me to turn in what was due the day I was sick on the next day I came back to school with no repercussions like your "minus 10% each day its late" thing. Of course that was 1999-2003, at a small hick town High School with about 100 kids total (all four grades put together) =)

Influences of the English language: War, invasion, politics?

We Answered:

Anglo-Saxons spoke Anglish (English) and English was furthered by the Norse. You can find lots of English roots in Latin though. Yet Anglish prefers the roots of German over Latin or Greek. (See Reference 6*) In the Hundred Years' War it was rumored that the French seeked to destroy the English Language .(Reference 7*) In Canada The War of 1812 let English give Canada a sense of Nationhood to the United Kingdom. (Reference 8*)

Is it alright for my teacher to write this comment on my report?

We Answered:

Hi Jonathan, I retired from teaching quite some time ago and things have changed. I need to have these terms explained PSHE Fronzie "Happy Days" I guess that Fronzie is a character in a TV soap and it seems to me, that your "life and soul of the party" attitude is interfering with your learning and probably others' too. I don't think you should be offended by it but do remember that there is a correct time and place for everything, do yourself, and your friends, a favour by keeping the jokes and loud comments for the playground. God bless. Gladgran

I'm Italian. Can you correct my letter?

We Answered:

I changed some words around and fixed the grammar. I changed a couple of sentences so that it flows better. Hopefully this works for you. :)

-----

My name’s [first name] Fabio [surname] (people uses my second name, Fabio). I was born in Palermo, an Italian city, and am 27 years old. I studied at the Philosophy and Letters Faculty, with a bachelor's degree of Modern Cultures and graduated in 2009. According to the Italian system, I’m a doctor in Modern Cultures.

I’m a man with a calm temperament. I like to have specific reports about everybody. People who knows me thinks I’m a very polite guy. I usually inspire a big confidence grace to my good behavior and to my discreet life. Moreover I’m a sensible person, I’m always available for the others, but without imposing me, because I want to demonstrate to all my desire to respect the freedom of the other people. I’m very patient too and I always try to manage myself. I think that, despite of the unavoidable difficult moments, I can remain with lots of optimism, and what allows me to advance in my life without losing courage.

I don’t discriminate on the grounds of ethnic origin, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or political opinion. On the contrary I like when others enrich my mind. I have a good sense of humour and I enjoy working with people and working as part of a team.

I love the creative arts, especially literature that I practice writing some poetries and novels (in Italian or Sicilian language, but I hope to speak soon a good English to write in this language too); I'm very creative, and I surely have a lot of ideas in fantasy.

I like taking care of kids and youngsters, in fact during the afternoon I always get a few pupils and students ranging from 7 to 18 years in my house, with whom I perform after school activities. They love me because I can make them comprehend the topics with my firmness but not too strict attitude, I keep a light atmosphere.

For a short period, I also volunteered in a rest home for elderly persons, and I was able to convey my joyful mood to them.
