(唐山模拟)体裁 议论文 话题 道歉 词数 236
I consider myself something of an expert on apologies. A quick temper has 1 me with plenty of opportunities to make them. In one of my earlier 2 , my mother was telling me “Don’t watch the 3 when you say, ‘I’m sorry’. Hold your head up and look at the person in the 4 , so he’ll know you 5 it. ”
My mother thus made the key point of a(n) 6 apology: It must be direct. You must never 7 to be doing something else. You do not 8 a pile of letters while apologizing to a person 9 in position after blaming him or her for a mistake that turned out to be your 10 . You do not apologize to a hostess, whose guest of honor you treat 11 , by sending flowers the next day without mentioning your bad 12 .
One of the important things we should do for an 13 apology is a readiness to 14 the responsibility for our careless mistakes. We are used to making excuses, which leaves no 15 for the other person to 16 us. Since most people are open-hearted, the no-excuse apology leaves both parties feeling 17 about themselves. That, after all, is the 18 of every apology. It 19 little whether the apologizer is wholly or only partly at fault. Answering for one’s 20 encourages others to take their share of the blame.
