Question

I am writing this letter to express my regret that I can’t go to the Great Wall with you next weekend. It’s really pity. I feel sorry for them and want you to know that happened.

    Yesterday, my father, worked in the United States now, informed me that he would be back to home tomorrow. I was very happy when I heard the news. Father and I had not seen each other for two years, but I am really looking forward to this meeting.

    I sincere hope that you can be able to think in my position and accept my apology. I would appreciate your allowing me to make another dates to go to the Great Wall.

Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience I have caused.

 

Answer 1

【答案】

 

 really 和pity 之间加a

 them →it

 that →what

 worked→working

 去掉to

 had →have

 but →so

 sincere → sincerely

 can →will

 dates →date

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一封道歉信：我很遗憾和抱歉不能在下周末和你一起去长城玩，因为我现在在美国工作的爸爸通知我他明天回家，因为两年没见，所以很期待这次见面。希望你谅解并接受我的道歉，我们可否改日再一起去长城。再次为带来的不便表示歉意。

 pity  做可数名词是：可惜的事。It’s a pity 意为： 这事很可惜。

 本句应该理解为：我为此感到很抱歉。代词应该指代前面的这件事要用it 。

  know 后是宾语从句，在宾语从句中that 只起连接作用，而what 要做句子成分，在这里作主语用what。

 my father 后面还有逗号，所以用非谓语形式作定语，worked表示和主语是逻辑上的被动关系，而work 与主语是逻辑上的主谓关系，应该用working 。

 home是副词，副词前不用介词。所以去掉前面的to 。

 通读全文和本句的for two years 提示本句应该用现在完成时，主语是复数Father and I ，所以谓语要用助动词have 以保持主谓一致。

 通过分析前后关系可知，这里是因果关系而不是转折关系。So 意为“所以”。

  sincerely 副词修饰动词 hope.。英语中习惯用形容词修饰名词， 副词修饰动词。

 can 和 be able to 是一个意思，不能同时用。用will 表将来。

 make another date 意为：改日。another 意为：另一个，后面要用单数可数名词。

考点：短文改错。
