Hello everyone. I need help writing my speech. <--- BEGIN ---> Hello teacher, my name is Leandro Quiroga and I am student of Electronic Engineer degree. I was absent for several classes because in addition to being a student, I work as a software developer and sell services abroad. I am interested in recovering the "promotion" of the matter. Is there a possibility of recovering practical work? Since it is not within my means to leave my job and my absences are repeated, can I request some consideration from you? <--- END ---> How can I write it better? Does it sound natural? Thanks you for your time.
