Answer 1

分析 这是一封道歉信．根据题目要求可知用第一人称，时态以一般现在时态为主，但是解释过去的原因要用一般过去时态．内容主要包括：一 解释噪音的原因并表示歉意；二 采取的措施；三 再次表示歉意．
高分句型：
1．I should have dropped in to explain that our water  pipe had burst and we are still repairin it now．句子里
should have dropped in 表示"本应该拜访"；that 引导宾语从句．
我本应该去上门拜访，解释我们的水管爆裂了，我们正在修理．
2．I have told the workmen to work during the weekday，when you are out of work．句子里 when 引导定语从句，先行词是the weekday．
我已经告诉工人只在你上班的时候工作．

解答 Dear Mary，
    Thank you for your letter to remind me of the noise from our house over the past week．I should have dropped in to explain that our water  pipe had burst and we are still repairin it now．【高分句型一】But I was too busy with the housework to forget to tell you about it．I'm sorry to have brought you so much trouble．（解释噪音的原因并表示歉意）
   I have told the workmen to work during the weekday，when you are out of work．【高分句型二】And they have promised to finish the work as soon as possible and try to reduce noises．（采取的措施）
    I apologize again and hope you can be patient for a little longer．（再次表示歉意）

                                                                                                                        Yours

点评 考查提纲类作文．
情态动词的have done形式表示虚拟的用法．
should have done表示"本应该做而没有做"； needn't have done 表示"本不必做而做了"；could have done表示"本能够做而没有做"．
