Answer 1

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

试题分析：本文是一封道歉信。体裁为应用文。人称应使用第一人称。时态用一般现在时。文章首先要表示歉意，然后解释原由：因故无法参加外教老师Mr. Hans组织英语小组同学周六下午去他公寓交流阅读莫言小说《蛙》的读后感的活动。然后询问借阅讨论摘要的事宜。最后再次致歉，希望对方能接受歉意。
点评：道歉信通常包括三部分内容：1、表示歉意，道歉的原由；2、出现差错的原因，提出弥补措施；3、请求原谅。语言要诚挚，解释的理由要真实。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"三步曲"： 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。
