主题写作(9) 诚恳致歉
“三步”写作流程
[典题示例]
假定你是李华,与留学生朋友Bob约好一起去书店,却因故不能赴约。请给他写封邮件,内容包括:
1.表示歉意; 2.说明原因; 3.另约时间。
注意:1.写作词数应为80左右;
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
一、写全要点——保基本分
(一)显性要点题干找
1.表示歉意:
①I am very sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday afternoon.
2.说明原因:
②I just have to attend a meeting that afternoon.
3.另约时间:
③Shall we go on Saturday morning?
④If it's convenient for you, let's meet at 8:30 outside the school gate. If not, let me know what time suits you best.
⑤I should be free any time this weekend.
(二)隐性要点关联好
1.进一步说明原因:
⑥The meeting is important to me. I can't miss it however.
⑦I hope the change will not cause you too much trouble.
2.最后再次致歉:
⑧Once again, I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused.
二、打造亮点——增能力分
(一)高级词汇抓住眼(升格①⑤⑥句中的加蓝词汇)
1.very→__________
2.free→_________
3.important→___________
terribly
available
significant
(二)高级句式点亮篇(按要求升级句子)
1.用宾语从句(remember)扩写句②
I have just remembered that I have to attend a meeting that afternoon.
2.用so ...that从句合并句⑥
The meeting is so significant to me that I can't miss it however.
三、打造高颜值——“语”顺“形”美
(誊写成文,注意逻辑衔接和行文规范)
Dear Bob,
I am terribly sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday afternoon.
I have just remembered that I have to attend a meeting that afternoon. The meeting is so significant to me that I can't miss it however. I hope the change will not cause you too much trouble. Besides, shall we go on Saturday morning? If it's convenient for you, let's meet at 8:30 outside the school gate. If not, let me know what time suits you best. I should be available any time this weekend.
Once again, I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Yours,
Li Hua
[高分评点]
(一)学谋篇布局
本文呈现了道歉信的常规写作模式:
(二)学靓丽表达
1.文中使用了I am terribly sorry ..., I hope ..., shall we ..., If it's convenient for you ...等句式来表达委婉、诚恳的语气。
2.文中多处使用名词性从句来解释说明具体信息,如that I cannot ..., that I have to ..., the change will ..., what time ...。同时,so ...that结果状语从句、条件状语从句以及省略句的使用也使句式丰富多样,避免了表达的简单化。
高分素材储备
一、内化写作范式,确保形体规范
Dear ,
I am terribly sorry to tell you that (道歉的内容).
The reason is that __________(原因一). Besides, _______________ (原因二).I hope that you can forgive me (恳请原谅).Can we______
(弥补措施)?
Sorry again and it is my sincere hope that (再次致歉并请求谅解).
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
二、写好开头、结尾,力求吸人眼球
(一)开头部分:表明道歉原因
1.I am writing to express my regret for ...
2.I would like to give you my apology for ...
3.I feel terribly sorry that I ...
(二)结尾部分:再次表达歉意
1.Please allow me to say sorry again.
2.I sincerely hope that you will accept my apology.
3.Hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation.
4.I am sorry that I can't ... but I believe that you will be able to understand.
三、多积鲜活佳句,做到意蕴丰富

我本应该能参加你的生日聚会的,但由于得了重感冒,我别无选择只好卧床休息。
