Dear Bob,
I am writing to make an apology to you for the fact that I forgot to return a music CD which I borrowed from you last week. Yesterday I came back from England and found it in my luggage. I am so sorry that you cannot listen to it at present.
The CD which I borrowed from you is made in England, so I believe you can find another one in your local store. How about your buying another CD by yourself and I will pay for it? If you cannot find a similar one, I would send it back to you through a post office. And if there are any other solutions you like, please let me know.
I am terribly sorry again for my carelessness. Please forgive me for any inconvenience caused. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Homework:课外作业
假定你是李华,你的美国老师Mr. Evans要求你们明天下午去听一个英国历史的讲座。你因故不能参加。请你写一封信向Mr. Evans道歉并说明情况。要点如下:
1. 表示歉意。
2. 理由:父亲去北京出差,母亲生病住院需要人照顾。
3. 询问:是否有录音,以便补听讲座。
注意:1. 词数100左右。2. 可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。3. 开头语和结束语已为你写好。
Dear Mr. Evans,
I am indeed sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on English history tomorrow afternoon. My mother suddenly fell ill and was taken to hospital last night and my father is on a business trip to Beijing now. I am afraid that I will have to take care of her these days. How about your buying another CD by yourself and I will pay for it? If you cannot find a similar one, I would send it back to you through a post office. And if there are any other solutions you like, please let me know.
However, I am actually very interested in English society and history. I wonder if it is possible for the talk to be recorded, and if so, could I borrow the tape? It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and learn what is covered in the talk.
Please allow me to say sorry again. I sincerely hope that you will be able to understand my situation and accept my apology.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
