_________FormatDear Mr Singh,
I’m writing to apologize for any misunderstandings that occurred when I showed you around Beijing the other day.
I felt rather strange when you would not shake hands with me. I did not realize that there are some taboos in different countries and cultures. After reading a magazine article, I know that people from India do not shake hands with their left hands. I should not have held out my left hand to you. And I now know you do not eat beef because of your religion.
I feel very sorry for not having known these taboos earlier. I hope you can forgive me for all these misunderstandings. I hope our next meeting will be happier.
Yours sincerely, MelodySampleWrite a letter of apology to Takashi/Hudson to explain misunderstandings.
Work in pairs, each writing a different part. WritingDear Mr. Hudson,
I am writing to apologize for any misunderstandings that occurred when I showed you around Beijing the other day.
I felt rather strange when you would not get on the boat because you thought it was too crowded while I considered that there was a lot of space. After reading a magazine, I know that people from the USA feel uncomfortable if others are too close to them. I know it is a matter of ‘personal space’. So now I understand why you did not want to get on the boat then.
I feel sorry for not having known these taboos earlier. I hope you can forgive me for all these misunderstandings. I hope our next meeting will be happier.
Yours sincerely,
LeoDear Mr Takashi,
I am writing to apologize for any misunderstandings that occurred when I showed you around Beijing the other day.
I noticed you were a bit upset when I put the business card in my pocket without looking at it. And I did not know why you bought so many gifts. After reading a magazine article, I know that Japanese people give out their business cards when they greet others and they would like others to look at their cards carefully. So I should have read your card before I put it in my pocket. And I also know why you bought so many gifts. Because gift-giving is expected in Japan and on a trip, you must bring back lots of gifts.
I feel very sorry for not having known these taboos earlier. I hope you can forgive me for all these misunderstandings. I hope our next meeting will be happier.
Yours sincerely,
