Answer 1

【答案】

I really regret to say that I cannot attend the lecture to share thoughts about Frog by Mo Yan in your apartment this Saturday afternoon, and I am writing this letter to express my deep regret.

The reason for my absence is that I have to meet an English teacher from Australia at the airport this Saturday afternoon. The plane is due to arrive then and it is impossible to re-arrange my time. It is really a pity that I will miss such a valuable opportunity to share my thoughts with you about Frog.

I wondered if you could send me a summary of the discussion next Monday, for I believe it will be very interesting. I promise to return it quickly.

I’m truly sorry for my absence and hope you will accept my apologies. Thank you!

Yours,

Li Hua

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一封道歉信。體裁為應用文。人稱應使用第一人稱。時態用一般現在時。文章首先要表示歉意，然后解釋原由：因故無法參加外教老師Mr. Hans組織英語小組同學周六下午去他公寓交流閱讀莫言小說《蛙》的讀后感的活動。然后詢問借閱討論摘要的事宜。最后再次致歉，希望對方能接受歉意。

考點：提綱類書面表達。

點評：道歉信通常包括三部分內容：1、表示歉意，道歉的原由；2、出現差錯的原因，提出彌補措施；3、請求原諒。語言要誠摯，解釋的理由要真實。好的道歉信不僅會取得對方的諒解，還會增進彼此的感情。寫作"三步曲"： 表示歉意→說明具體原因、提出補救辦法→再次致歉，希望得到理解。
