休暇を取りたいことを伝えよう

Asking for a one week vacation

海外では休暇の概念や期間も日本とは根本的に違うので、その国の重要な休日を前もって調べておきましょう。日本では年末から正月までがお休みですがアメリカではThanks givingやクリスマスの休みはありますが、基本的には新年はNew Year's day(元日)だけがお休みで1月2日から通常営業になります。

Hi, what can I do for you?

I would like to take a vacation from December 29th to January 5th to return Japan and to meet my parents and friends. I know everyone starts working from January 2nd in this country, but in my country, people usually take a break until January 3rd.

自然な表現

I would like to take a vacation from December 29th to January 5th to return to Japan and meet my parents and friends. I know everyone starts working from January 2nd in this country, but in my country, people usually take a break until January 3rd.

1. The verb "return" normally takes "to" when followed by a destination.
2. The second "to" is unnecessary because the two verbs share the same purpose.

Taking time off to visit family and friends back home for the New Year is so important. Balancing holiday norms between different countries can definitely be tricky. Have you already discussed these travel dates with your team or manager?

I have already shared my plans with my manager and colleagues. Most of our team members except two will take a vacation before the year ends. Since many of our clients are also on holiday during this period, it shouldn't be an issue. A senior colleague who shares responsibility for the same clients returns from leave on January 2nd, so he has agreed to handle any matters that might arise on the 3rd.

1. 2. Added commas around the appositive phrase to improve clarity.

Having team coverage lined up with your senior colleague makes your plan very solid. It sounds like you have organized everything responsibly. Have you already booked your flight tickets for those specific dates?

Yes, I've already made a reservation for the flight tickets. I can make changes free of charge up until the day before departure, so I will do so if necessary. Also, since there is a nine-hour time difference with Japan, it may be difficult for me to reply immediately, but I will make an effort to check my emails during the break.

1. Changed to the possessive pronoun "my" to be more specific.

That sounds great. As long as you are able to respond to emails, it is okay. Please discuss this with your teammates once again around December 15th. Would you start working on the 6th then?

I understand. Before everyone goes on break, I will communicate with the team members regarding specific handover details and then report back to you. I will start working on the 6th and will not make any appointments to catch up on what happened during the break.

自然な表現

1. Rephrased the sentence to clearly explain the purpose.

Perfect. If the work is allocated properly, then I see no reason why we should not accept your request for leave. Do remember to speak to your team members once again. Anything else?

Nothing so far. I appreciate your understanding.

自然な表現

Nothing so far. I appreciate your understanding.

1. "Nothing else for now" is another alternative expression.
