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。
Directions:
You are invited to a dinner at a friend's house, but you are not able to attend because of the preparation for a coming examination. Write a letter to your friends to express your apology, explain your reason, and suggest a meeting at another time。
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use "Li Ming" instead。
Do not write the address。
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

六 感谢信 (A Letter of Thanks)
感谢信通常带有浓厚的感情色彩，具有比较浓的人情味。感谢信通常分为正式感谢信和非正式感谢信，前者行文得体、语气礼貌谦恭、用词正式正规；后者语气则更加亲切热情。
写作“三步走”：表达感谢之情并说明原因->提及自己曾受到对方的帮助->再次感谢并表达回报愿望。
提示：表达的感激之情要恰到好处，不要过于夸张；建议在结尾尽量表达希望回报对方的愿望，显得更加真诚。
