　　A Letter of Apology

　　15th , March

　　Dear Mr. Wang,

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

　　尊敬的王老师：

　　为我迟交的作业，特写信致歉。您上周一布置给我们的论文是截止到这周五，但是我非常抱歉，我甚至还没开始写。没有及时上交论文，以及为此可能带给你的不便，我真的感到很抱歉。

　　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 couldnt go to the library to get the necessary referential 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.

　　上周我得了重感冒，因为身体虚弱、天气寒冷，医生要求我卧床一周。因此，我不能去图书馆查找写论文必要的参考信息。结果是，我还没开始写论文，也就不能按时交了。

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

　　幸运的是，我终于完全康复了。我会尽我所能尽快完成论文，并且今后尽力按时交作业。

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Li Ming
