Today we are going to discuss how to write better.
Excuse me.
Ah, Tom, you're late again.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Green.
What's the excuse this time?
I must have turned off my alarm clock and gone back to sleep again.
If you had gone to bed earlier, you wouldn't be late for school now.
Last night I did my homework until midnight.
So, where is it?
Oh, I just don't know what to say. I can't tell you how sorry I am.
This is the third time you've been late for my class and the sixth time you forgotten to bring your homework this month.
I'm really sorry. I promise it won't happen again. Please forgive me.
OK. I hope this is the last time. Go to your seat.
Thank you, ma'am.
