Hi..I need to rewrite this passage as formal.
Walker wants to see you at eight sharp tomorrow. He didn't say what was hassling him but he looked pretty uptight. Why do you think he's on your case? You didn't skip yesterday did you? You don't think he's on to the essay scam do you?
Please help..
There's a WHOLE LOT of SLANG in there!! How can you make it read more formally?
eight sharp
hassling
uptight
on your case
skip
essay scam
etc.
Get rid of the slang and write it up in normal, academic English. The re-post if you'd like someone here to look it over for you.
Mr. Walker would like to see you no later than at eight o'clock in the morning. Unfortunately, he didn't say what was bothering him, but he looked very upset.I was wondering, why do you think he is mad at you? And I am not sure what the last 2 senteces mean..
This is very informal for these reasons:
Walker, only if this is a first name, otherwise Mr. Walker, etc.
hassling is too flip. Find another word. uptight is the same problem. "on your case" is too informal. So is "skip" So is "scam"
Now, try it formally, because we do NOT do the work for you. Then feel free to repost and someone will proofread it for you.

The last two sentences: " You didn't skip yesterday did you? You don't think he's on to the essay scam do you?"
"skip" -- probably refers to the reader's having not shown up for class. He/She cut class -- was truant!
"essay scam" -- Was someone paying someone else to write his/her essay? Did he/she download it from the Internet and claim it for him/herself??

Certainly! Here's a formal rewrite of the passage:
Walker requests your presence promptly at eight o'clock tomorrow. Although he did not disclose the cause of his agitation, his demeanor appeared visibly tense. Can you speculate as to the reason he is being demanding towards you? Have you possibly missed your obligations yesterday? Is there a chance that he suspects your involvement in the essay deception?
