Dear Mr.Smith,
I am indeed very sorry that I missed the examination on International Business English Writing you gave last Friday. I feel awful about it and want you to know what happened that day.
I suddenly fell sick early that morning and my parents had to send me to the hospital.Please find enclosed a copy of the medical bill.
I sincerely hope you can understand my situation and accept my apology. I would appreciate your allowing me to take a make-up examination. I will come to your office during your office hour on Monday to discuss this possibility with you. Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Sincerelyyours,
Wang Hua
马克吐温作为职业作家和演说家,在文学领域和演说领域都取得了极大的成功,成为世界范围内受人尊敬的文学家和演说大师。但是,他在选择文学和演说之前,曾经试图成为一名商人。他先是投资开发打印机,花费了整整3年的时间,最后把千辛万苦借来的5万美元全部赔光了。他又发现出版商因为发行他的著作赚了大钱,他很不服气,心想:我自己写了文章自己出版发行,所有的利润不都是自己的吗,为何不自己开一个出版公司呢?他于是又投资开了一家出版公司。但是,他不知道,写作与经商是截然不同的两件事,他很快就因为债务陷入了困境,出版公司破产了,他也陷入了更大的债务危机之中。经过两次经商失败的打击,马克吐温终于认识到自己经商的无能,他彻底断绝了经商的念头,开始到全国巡回演讲,在演讲的间隙里埋头写作。很快,风趣幽默的马克吐温名声大噪,成为全国知名的演说家,他脍炙人口的作品也迅速走红。
温馨提示:美国政治家富兰克林说:“宝贝放错了地方就是废物。”尺有所短,寸有所长。你也许兴趣广泛,掌握了多种技能,但是,在所有的长处中,总是有你的强项。成功者的原则是:去选择最能够使自己全力以赴的、最能够使自己的品格和长处得以充分发挥的职业。因为唯有充分利用自己的长处,才能够让自己的人生增值;相反,你总是选择自己的短处,你的人生就只能贬值。此则素材可用来应对“完美”、“长与短”、“成功”、“追求”、“奔跑”和“发现自己”等。

dear david:
i am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having answered your letter dated 7, december sooner, but when i have told you the reason, i trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. when your letter arrived, i was just in hong kong. as my family could not forward it to me during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment when i took it up. now the first thing i have to hasten to do is to write to you these few lines to express my deep regret.
i enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. i shall be pleased to give you an account to of them when i see you next.
sincerely yours,
tom
