What is correct in this email?
Dear Mr. Stine,
I was wondering if you’d be willing to move the science test back another week? I have been studying on my own, but the study guide you provided is not very helpful, and I don’t feel like we’ve covered the information well enough in class. Some of my friends have also expressed similar concerns, and we all think an extension of the test date is in order.
Thanks,
Jacky
