國中英語基測出現過 sorry 的考題。

Dear May,

I know you are still angry, but please listen to me.

When Mom asked you not to play computer games all day long, what did you do? In a loud voice, you told her you were doing your computer homework. Then you slammed your room door and refused to talk to her.

You don't understand how much you have hurt her. I think she is waiting for you to say you are sorry. If you don't feel comfortable doing so, why don't you just say something like “Good morning”? If you can say anything, it will make your mom feel better. I know you love her, and I hope things can go well between the two of you.

Love,

Dad
