If it’s online school:
Hello Mr/Mrs. ____,
I regret to inform you that I was unable to do my assignments today. I know it is no excuse, but my WiFi has been extremely bad lately and we plan and getting a new provider soon. At a time like this, pretty much everyone in the town/city is using the WiFi and it’s causing it to go extremely slow. In fact, earlier today my WiFi shut off out of nowhere and yes, we have payed it. I have siblings and they are also trying to do their homework assignments and go into their zoom classes; which of course, causes it to go even slower. We even try to have everyone else in the house to not get on the WiFi if they’re not doing any school related things, but it doesn’t seem to work. I’m truly sorry for this roadblock that has come up. I’m not sure if this email will even send or when it will send. When/if it does, is it possible that you can give me an extension or?
Thank you.
(Sorry it’s not so creative lol)
Where the story takes place
The English language is the result of the blending of several languages into one. These are the stages in the formation of the language:
- Old English: first appeared during the early Middle Ages (550-1066 AD). It was a Germanic dialect spoken by the Angle, Saxon and Jute invaders of the ancient Roman Britain. It became predominant and also adopted several words of Brittonic and Latin in its <em>lexicon</em>.
- Middle English: in 1066 the French Norman William the Conqueror invaded and subjugated England. Old French Norman would be the language of the Royal Court and the civil administration until the 16th century (1150-1500 AD). During this time a large influx of French and Latin words entered the English lexicon. Nowadays, 28 percent of English words come from French and 29 % come from Latin but the grammatical structure remains undoubtedly Germanic and the most commonly and most often used words are Germanic.
- Early Modern English: it gradually replaced French in the court and administrations between the years 1500 – 1750 AD. Three was a Great Vowel Shift during this period, when pronunciation of vowels completely changed but no one knows yet why or how it occurred.
- Late Modern English: 1750-1900 AD. The modern language was already formed with an influx of non-European words coming from the British Empire colonies.
- Contemporary English 1900 – now. Than language as we know it nowadays.
