五 道歉信 (A Letter of Apology)
我们在工作或生活中,有时难免会犯一些错误,写封致歉信就显得很有必要。道歉信通常包括以下内容:表示歉意;道歉的原由;出现差错的原因;提出弥补措施;请求原谅。写道歉信的语言要诚挚,解释的理由要真实,不要显出丝毫的虚情假意。好的道歉信不仅会取得对方的谅解,还会增进彼此的感情。
写作“三步走”:表示歉意->说明具体原因、提出补救办法->再次致歉、希望得到理解
提示:在写作过程中,尽可能提供比较合理的理由。如果违反生活常识将导致扣分;在解释完原因后,尽量提供一个合适的补救办法,使行文更加完满。

范文:
Dear Anne,
Thank you for your invitation to dinner at your home tomorrow evening. Unfortunately, it is much to my regret that I cannot join you and your family, because I will be fully occupied then for an important exam coming the day after tomorrow. I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of such a happy get-together, and I hope that all of you enjoy a good time. Is it possible for you and me to have a private meeting afterward? If so, please don't hesitate to drop me a line about your preferable date. I do long for a pleasant chat with you。
Please allow me to say sorry again。
Regards,
Li Ming
