1 / 4認得Recognize看到這個英文,我知道它大概是什麼。I see it, and I know roughly what it is.

Absence

AB-sens

缺席

결석

Where you'll see it你會在哪裡看到

  • 學校的自動通知電話或簡訊
  • 家長 App
  • 請假表單(absence form)
  • 成績單上的出缺席欄

What it actually means白話說

孩子該到學校卻沒到,就記一次 absence。孩子生病或有事不能去時,學校會希望家長主動通知;用電話、email 還是 App,各校做法不同。

Common mistake常見的誤會

Excused absence 的 excused 不是「被原諒」。它是學校接受理由的請假;unexcused 是沒通知、或理由沒被接受的缺席,兩種分開記。

Often right next to it旁邊常出現的字

  • Absent沒到、缺席的 결석한
  • Excused absence學校接受理由的請假 인정 결석
  • Unexcused absence沒通知或理由沒被接受的缺席 무단결석
  • Tardy遲到 지각
  • Doctor's note醫生證明 의사 소견서

2 / 4聽懂Understand對方講一整句,我抓得到關鍵字。They say a whole sentence. I catch the keyword.

You may hear你可能會聽到

School phone line

“To report an absence, press one.”

Listen for these words整句聽不懂沒關係,抓這幾個字

  • report an absence通報缺席(請假)
  • press one按 1
3 / 4開口Say不用講得完美,我有一句最簡單的可以說。It doesn't have to be perfect. I have one simple line.

她明天要請假。
