Original –

There is an public relation department in student council of my university and this term I was appointed as the director of the public relations department. There will be a student activity in the end of April, so my job is to find some sponsors for this activity, but until now I didn’t successfully find any sponsor, so I am under pressure now. Because I’m scared that other people in student council will think that I should not be the director, because I can’t finish my job.

Correction –

There is a public relations department in the student council at my university, and this term I’ve been appointed as the director of it. There will be a student activity in the end of April, so my job is to find some sponsors for this activity. I still haven’t found any sponsors yet, so I am under pressure now. Because I’m scared that if I can’t finish the job, other members of student council will conclude that I should not be the director.
