　　這是一封道歉信，寫的時候要遵循道歉信的一般模式：開篇直奔主題，然后說明原因，最后提出可能的補救措施。第一段，對晚交論文及對此造成的后果表示歉意;第二段，說明理由(可信的理由，而不是隨便應付老師的借口);第三段，表示盡快完成論文。

　　A Letter of Apology

　　Dear Mr. Wang,

　　①I am writing to apologize for my late homework. The paper which you have ②assigned to us last Monday was ③due this Friday, but to my regret, I haven’t even started it yet. I feel really sorry for not handing in the paper on time and ④for the inconvenience it would bring to you.

　　I have caught a serious cold last week and the doctor asked me to stay in bed for a week since I was very weak and the weather was very cold these days. Therefore, I couldn’t go to the library to get the necessary ①referential information which was needed for my paper. As a result of this, I have not started writing the paper yet and could not hand it in on time.

　　Fortunately I have finally fully recovered. I will finish the paper as soon as I can and ①try my best to hand in homework on time in the future.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Li Ming
