Translation / English

1. So far we have received 1000 works and we are worried because it is way too small number. Last year we received 2000 works at this point.
We hope to receive 1000 works for category A and 1000 works for category B.

Would you mind reporting in details again?

The person in charge sent us a list via email but are there any possibilities that teachers forgot to distribute the information to students?

2. Could you confirm the schools and universities by phone?

Translation / English

1. I hear 1000 people have applied at present. I think this number is too small, and I'm worried if we can get enough application.
2000 people applied at this time last year.
I'd like to gather at least 1000 each for section A and section B this year.

So please tell me the detail once again, as I feel sorry for having asked you so many times.

You said you've got an email reply from the person in charge for the list. I am afraid to ask you if you have forgot to give them to the students.

2. Will you call the rest of the universities and schools and check if they have got them?
