2021-2022 浙江高考英语应用文— 道歉信
“道歉”也是日常生活中常见的主题，具体会出现失约、犯错、遗忘等事件。为了将英语用于日常生活，这个主题也经常会出现在应用文写作中。具体道歉信内容我们会总结为以下三方面：
1.写信的目的----道歉； 2.未能做到的原因，以及补偿措施； 3.希望谅解，表达感谢。
我们具体来看例题：

假如你是李华，你的好友 Tom 想约你明晚和他家人共进晚餐，但你因故不能应约。请根据以下要点用英语给他写一封电子邮件：
1 ）表示歉意； 2 ）解释原因；
3 ）弥补方法。
注意：
1 ）词数 80 左右； 2 ）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
Dear Tom ， 讲解：
本篇为典型的道歉信。题中要求的要点有三个：分别为表示歉意；解释原因和弥补方式。但是我们在写作时可以将要点进行重新组合，即一、表明写信目的，表达歉意；二、解释不能出席的原因，并提出弥补方案；三、期望的到谅解。
第一段：写信目的。I am writing to express/ extend/ convey my sincere/heartfelt apology to you for unable to attend the dinner with your family. 第二段：解释原因，提出弥补。这里一定要注意原因，我们所写的原因必须能说服别人，合情合理。我们可以选择需要考试、学校紧急事件、照顾家人等。而弥补方案，可以是更改约定的时间，或单独约 Tom 吃饭作为补偿等。
第三段：希望接受邀请，感谢谅解。
参考范文(102)：

Dear Mike， ， Deeply sorry for not being able to go to the bookstore with you for your favourite books related to the Chinese history this Sunday, I’m writing in an effort to make a change to our plan. Just now I was informed to attend an important voluntary activity to be held on the very day. So would it be possible for us to go there another time, let’s say, next Sunday morning? If so, we’ll have enough time to make a choice about which books to buy. Please let me know your decision as soon as possible.
Your,
Li Hua
