Answer 1

【答案】Dear Peter,

I’m terribly sorry for my not being able to see you off at the airport this Saturday as I have promised.

My English teacher Mrs Li has asked me to help her make some preparations for the English Speaking Contest to be held this weekend. I have just been informed of this plan, and as the class monitor, I just feel responsible and I have to do this job. So I am afraid I can’t be present at the airport.

How I wish I could have the chance to talk with you once more about the happy days we spent together before you go away. Wish you a safe journey.

Yours,

Li Hua

本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生因有事无法去机场为朋友Peter送行写封邮件，告知他不能送行的原因。

第一步：审题。

体裁：邮件应用文
