I am writing this letter to express my regret that I can’t go to the Great Wall with you next weekend. It’s really pity. I feel sorry for them and want you to know that happened.
Yesterday, my father, worked in the United States now, informed me that he would be back to home tomorrow. I was very happy when I heard the news. Father and I had not seen each other for two years, but I am really looking forward to this meeting.
I sincere hope that you can be able to think in my position and accept my apology. I would appreciate your allowing me to make another dates to go to the Great Wall.
Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience I have caused.
Getting away for a short time always seems like a great idea—until you have to pack. 1.The rule is: pack light. Here are some tips to help you pack.
1. Make a list. Think of what you need from your head to your toes. 2.When you’ve done this once, it’ll be easier next time.
2. Consider buying small-size samples of shampoo, toothpaste, and other items at your local drugstore. You can reuse the plastic containers next time you go away too.
3. Choosing which clothes to bring is probably the hardest packing decision to make. Think once again from head to toe — hat, shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. Once you’ve picked out what you want to bring, think carefully. Do you really need that extra pair of jeans? If so, fine.3.Don’t try to fool yourself. You are the one who will be left holding the bag.
4. Weather is an important factor in your packing. If it’s cold, you could wear a jacket, a - sweater, a regular shirt, and a T-shirt. Putting them on will keep you warm. 4.Remember how much easier it will be to carry your bag! As for shoes, you may want to call ahead to see if dress shoes are necessary. If so, one pair will be enough, along with one pair of comfortable shoes.
Remember that it is you who have been invited somewhere, not your things.5.So, do it right—pack light.
A. Mixing and matching is a smart and easy way to lighten your load.
B. But packing won’t be a problem if you remember one simple rule.
C. You will have an easier time if you’re weighed down.
D. But make sure they’re really worth the extra weight.
E. It’s best to bring these things with you.
F. And it’ll leave more room in your bag.
G. Keep the list for future reference.
