Exercise 9: Simulation Exercise for Apologizing – 1Read the situation below and complete the dialogue as if you were speaking in real life. Type your answer in each box. Later you will be asked to reflect on your language use. You are a college student. You have an appointment with a senior professor, Professor Ito in another department to discuss your project. He is in his late 50s and although you have communicated with him by e-mail, you have not met him yet. The appointment is at 3 today. However, for some reason, you find that you will not be able to make it. You call the professor and ask if he could change the appointment. The professor sounds reluctant. Now try to use apology expressions effectively. You can give realistic reasons that you think would be appropriate for requesting a change in the appointment. Be careful of the way you present them! |
