Part A

You have received an invitation to the birthday party of your friend, Tom. But you can’t attend it. Write a note to Tom to
　　1) thank him for the invitation,

Write your letter in no less than 100 words. Write it neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

一、审题与谋篇

本题要求写一封道歉信。写道歉信一般是因为写信人不能完成所要求或许诺的事情，或不能按时或很好地完成某件事情。道歉一般和解释同时存在，解释是出于礼貌、希望消除可能的误解。道歉要真诚，解释要充分并且切题，写信的语气要温和而富于策略。

指导语中给出的情景是接到朋友生日会的邀请但不能参加，信的内容包括：

（1）表示感谢；

（2）说明你不能参加生日会的理由；

（3）道歉并表达祝愿。

二、参考范文

Dear Tom,

Thank you very much for inviting me to your birthday party tomorrow and I have been longing for giving my sincere wishes to you on that special day. However, I am terribly sorry that I cannot be there because of a matter of some urgency. This afternoon I got a call from my parents telling me that my sister had been hospitalized. Both of my parents are busy at work, so I have to go home in a hurry to take care of her. I am sure you can understand this. I would like to say sorry again and wish you a happy birthday as well as a successful party.

Yours
Li Ming
