【真题再现】
假定你是李华，与留学生朋友Bob约好一起去书店，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。
【试题分析】
题目要求写一封道歉信，因不能如约一起去书向Bob道歉，使用第一人称和一般现在时进行写作。 
【得分要点】
题目是常规的书信作文，要求写一封道歉信，是应用文的一种。写作的内容已经给出，表达歉意的同时，还要与对方另约时间。因此，不仅仅是一封道歉信。写作时注意涵盖所有要点，还要兼顾上下文的连贯性。
【参考范文】
Dear Bob,
I’m sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday afternoon I have just found that I have to attend an important class meeting that afternoon. I hope the
change will not cause you too much trouble.
Shall we go on Saturday morning? We can set out early so that we’ll have more time to read and select books. 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 after school next week.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Bob,
How are you doing? We planned to go to the bookstore this Saturday. Unfortunately, I can’t make it. So, I am writing to express my heartfelt apology to you.
How I wish I could go with you! However, I am chosen to represent our school to take part in the English debate competition with an America high school, which, you know, is of great importance to me, for I have always been dreaming to have a chance like this to improve my spoken English. As a result, I have no choice but to say sorry to you.
How about going to the bookshop this Sunday? Then both of us will be available and I can share my experience of the competition with you. Please. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Tom,
How are you doing? (问候) You asked me in your last letter about my plan for the coming summer vacation. (写信背景)  I am sorry that I didn’t reply without delay. (写信目的)

By the way, I have a busy schedule for my summer vacation. (主题句) First and foremost, I would do a part time job, so that my interpersonal skills would be improved. (拓展句1) Additionally, I will take a short trip to Beijing to take a summer course in the New Oriental School. (拓展句2) Last but not least, maybe I will work as a volunteer for the school as a teaching assistant.

These are my plan for the summer vacation. What’s yours? I am looking forward to your earliest reply. (以合理的客套话结尾)

【满分佳作】
Dear Tom,
①I’m terribly sorry I couldn’t reply to your email which you sent me a week ago immediately. ②I was so occupied with the final exams.
As for the coming summer holiday, I will first do a part time job in a fast-food restaurant. ③Not only will I earn some money but I will also gain some social experience through it. ④And then I will go on a trip to Sichuan, where there are a great number of places of interest. Finally, I’ll go to Ya’an to work as a volunteer. ⑤There is no doubt that children there are badly in need of help. ⑥I hope what I will do will make a great difference to them.
Do you have anything for the summer? Please write to me and let me know.  Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua 

【满分赏析】
①先用I’m terribly sorry…对未能及时回信道歉，terribly加强了道歉的语气。 
②接着简单讲明原因；be occupied with sth./doing sth.(忙于某事/做某事)的运用体现了作者的语言功底，不是用简单的词汇busy，可给评卷老师留下好印象。
③Not only…but also… 连接并列句，属于本书在“写作基础”部分训练的句型。注意：not only在句首，谓语动词要用倒装形式；gain some social experience的运用也体现了作者平时注意积累语言素材。
④运用了where引导的定语从句修饰地点，使句式避免简单化；places of interest(名胜古迹)也运用得当。考生需注意积累，否则只能生造出中式英语。
⑤运用了There is no doubt that…(……毫无疑问)这样的万能句型；be badly in need of help(急需帮助)这一短语也使评卷老师眼前一亮。
⑥make a difference(起作用、产生不同)这一短语也是增分点。
本篇句句高级、词词地道，怎能不拿满分？

I really regret that I cannot go to celebrate your birthday personally and would miss the perfect chance of enjoying myself with all our old friends.

Cordially, （sincerely）

假如你是新华中学的学生李华，上周在外教Mr. Jackson的口语课上使用手机被老师发现，手机被收走。请用英语给外教写一封道歉信，内容应包括以下要点：
 1．表示歉意；2．解释上课使用手机的原因；3．提出自己的请求并适当表态。
【参考范文】
Dear Mr. Jackson,
I’m really sorry about my using the mobile phone in your lecture last week. Please accept my heart-felt apology for being so rude a student. 
I know any word might sound a made-up excuse. But I did not use the mobile phone for no reason. I was trying to find a part-time job last weekend that day, I got a job offer and they needed my further information immediately. Therefore, I had no other choice but to try sending them a text message in class and that was exactly what I was doing when you discovered.
Anyway, using a mobile phone in the classroom is not acceptable to any teacher. I swear it will not happen again. But I do need my phone back to keep in touch with others.
Will you be so kind to give it back to me? Thanks a million!
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

I’m terribly sorry that I can’t go to your birthday party this Saturday. My uncle will come to Beijing from America on Saturday afternoon. My parents want me to go to the airport with them to pick him up. So it’s a pity that I can’t have fun with you then.

Best wishes,
