Ⅱ Dear Mr Smith.

When I was cooking in the kitchen yesterday, suddenly the pan of oil caught fire . At that moment I didn't know what to do. Luckily my father came in and helped me put the fire out. But the fire burned my left hand. The doctor told me to sta y at home for a few days. So I have to write to ask for a sick leave for three d ays. I'll try my best to make up for all the lessons that I missed as soon as I get back from leave and pass the English exam next week.
