will go wrong and we will be to blame. It is therefore sensible to work out some plans for apologizing, and
the best way to apologize is by letter. This way you can take care over every word you write-which you
can"t do if you say sorry to someone in person.
We all say or do something that we wish we hadn"t said or done. You may say something that accidentally
hurts someone, or you may provide a service which doesn"t come up to the standards that a cheat or customer
expected.
You may feel that it was a mistake which couldn"t be avoided. Rather than dwell on the mistake, you should
quickly try to remedy (补救) the problem. An effective letter of apology is an important part of that process.
For the content of the letter, just remember TABS-Timing, Action, Brevity, Sincerity.
The timing of a letter of apology is crucial-it must be sent as soon as possible. Any delay in sending the
letter will only compound the problem. In this case, "better late than never" is not the best motto! The longer
you wait before writing a letter of apology, the more it will seem that you have been forced into writing it.
Although it is important to recognize what has gone before, it is also necessary to detail the action you plan
to take to rectify whatever it was you did wrong. Research has shown that some indication that you have
thought about what future action you plan to take is always well received.
A letter of apology should be brief and the word "sorry" should appear no more than twice. Indicate that
you are aware you are using it a second time "once again, I"m so sorry for" or "as I said early, I"m so sorry
about." Finally, the tone of the letter has to be sincere. In fact, all the above factors will help in this respect.
And don"t think that letters are out of date in the Email-oriented 21st century. An apology email can be
worse than no apology at all!
B. It"s a good idea to sends several emails to apologize and show that you mean it.
C. Write a long letter apologizing several times to make your point.
D. Wait to see how they react to your letter before planning to do anything
B. Genuine mistakes.
C. Car accidents.
D. Causing anger or hurt.
B. write an effective letter of apology
C. avoid what happened
D. recognize what has gone before
B. to improve
C. to put aside
D. to apologize

many of you here this evening. I"m sure you"re all enjoyed the fine food, and that you are ready to hear our
guest speaker.
Ladies and gentlemen, we"re pleased to welcome our most famous club champion, Billy Rogers, to our
meeting.
Billy needs no introduction because he is one of the most well-known tennis players in our country.
However, I must mention a few things about him. Billy has won the US Open three times,and Wimbledon
twice. He has won more tennis tournaments (锦标赛) than any player from this country. He has been ranked
number one in the world in both singles and doubles. He has played in the Davis Cup and the Hopman Cup
for his country. His Wimbledon victory two years ago has been called one of the bravest in the modern time.
Had he not been injured, he would undoubtedly have won a third Wimbledon Championship. Billy is regarded
by many as perhaps the finest player ever in international tennis.
But of course Billy is much more than a tennis champion.
He is like an ambassador for the sport and for his country. He has done great work to help children around
the world,and his generosity to children"s charity funds is well known.
And of course, Billy is the most successful graduate of our club. He won the club championships when
he was twelve-yes, at only twelve. And Billy has not forgotten where it all started. That"s why he accepted
our invitation to speak to us tonight. We"re proud to have played a small part in Billy"s success.
Won"t you please give a big hand to our own Billy Rogers?

like in another part of the world! You"re probably hoping to make new friends and learn about the culture in
your host country everything from attitudes and beliefs to social customs and popular foods. But constantly
having to deal with new situations can be frustrating (挫折), even stressful.
Homesickness, stress, fear, and confusion are all symptoms of "culture shock". At first, you may feel like
getting on the plane and heading home. It"s OK to have those feelings,but the following are some tips to help
you handle the challenges that you will face.
Don"t expect to be perfect. You may feel frustrated that you have culture shock, especially since you
probably spent so much time preparing for your trip. No matter how much information you read, or how
well you speak the host language, it is natural to feel over-whelmed sometimes. If you give yourself some
time, things will gradually get easier.
Have an open mind. While it"s certainly OK to feel frustration or confusion in your new surroundings,
try not to form an opinion about the new culture too soon. Don"t think of the host as better or worse, just
different-you"ll be more willing to try new things.
Participate. This is obvious, but everybody needs to be reminded. Just watching life go on around you
isn"t good enough. You really need to try things for yourself. Don"t worry about making a mistake; people
in your host country will generally be very understanding and willing to help if you have question. Your
study abroad experience is fl unique and special time in your life,one that you"ll never forget. If you follow
our suggestions, you"ll be able to handle it well, and have a wonderful time. Good luck!

yourself. There are a couple of suggestions you would like to know before you are out for dating.
Do not go out for dating with somebody whom you have seen only a few times and not known much
about.
Before leaving for a date, know the exact plans for the evening and make sure a parent or a friend knows
these plans and what time to expect your home. Let your date know that you are expected to call or tell that
person when you get in.
Similarly, if you leave party with someone you do not know well, make sure you tell another person you
are leaving and with whom. Ask a friend to call and make sure you arrive home safely.
No matter how good the person appears to you, trust your inner instincts (直觉). If a situation makes
you uncomfortable, try to stay calm and think of a way to remove yourself from the situation without letting
your date realize what is going on in your mind.
Be aware of your decreased ability to react under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep yourself in
control when out for a date.
Always stay firm, straightforward and clear in your relationships, thoughts, decisions and judgments.
Never let a doubt come to your mind or face when out for dating. If you are firm and clear in your
communication, your date will always be careful in dealing with you.
You should think ahead about ways to be safe if you are in a dangerous or potentially (潜在) dangerous
relationship. Adults, like parents, teachers, counselors, can be trusted in such cases.
B. Knowing the plan for the evening.
C. Telling your parents about the date.
D. Telling the person you date that your parents know about the date.
B. a person
C. a plan
D. a place
B. tell your date what you are thinking
C. stay calm
D. trust yourself
B. Never Go Out Dating
C. Safety Measures For Teen Dating
D. Dating Out Is Always Dangerous
