五 道歉信 (A Letter of Apology)
我們?cè)诠ぷ骰蛏钪,有時(shí)難免會(huì)犯一些錯(cuò)誤,寫封致歉信就顯得很有必要。道歉信通常包括以下內(nèi)容:表示歉意;道歉的原由;出現(xiàn)差錯(cuò)的原因;提出彌補(bǔ)措施;請(qǐng)求原諒。寫道歉信的語(yǔ)言要誠(chéng)摯,解釋的理由要真實(shí),不要顯出絲毫的虛情假意。好的道歉信不僅會(huì)取得對(duì)方的諒解,還會(huì)增進(jìn)彼此的感情。
寫作“三步走”:表示歉意->說(shuō)明具體原因、提出補(bǔ)救辦法->再次致歉、希望得到理解
提示:在寫作過程中,盡可能提供比較合理的理由。如果違反生活常識(shí)將導(dǎo)致扣分;在解釋完原因后,盡量提供一個(gè)合適的補(bǔ)救辦法,使行文更加完滿。
