Answer 1

【答案】

One possible version:

Dear Jim,

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.

I wish you a happy birthday and hope everything will go well. By the way, I have bought the latest CD of Jay Chou for you as a birthday present and I will give it to you on Monday.

Best wishes,

Li Hua

【解析】

试题分析：考核体裁为道歉信的开放式应用文写作，难度适中。全文的重要细节有：1. 开篇表达歉意，如I am terribly sorry to tell you that … / I am writing to apologize for … (勿忘写周末)

2. 给出合理的理由，如my cousin who is studying abroad will come back to see me / I have to attend an English speech contest that day / my mother fell ill due to the sudden change of the weather, so I have to take care of her 等。3. 希望对方谅解，如：I hope you can understand my situation.

4. 告知已准备生日礼物，如：I have prepared a special gift for you, which I will send to you as soon as possible.5. 结尾需再次致歉，并对Jim 表达美好祝福，如：Sorry again for my not being able to attend your birthday party. Please send my best regards to our best friends and wish you a happy birthday.
