how to get a student card?
Response I
Thank you for your email telling me about the orientation session and the welcome party. I will be happy to attend. I do have one question, though. I would like to use the library, but I do not have a student card yet. Could you tell me how I can get a student card, please.
With best wishes

Response II
Plan
attend
can I come late?
Thank you for your email inviting me to the orientation session and the welcome party. I would like to come to both, but I am afraid that I have a class until 6:30 on 8th April. Is it possible for me to come at that time, even though I will be late? I will attend the orientation session, of course.
Yours
