雅思口語話題：Time Someone Apologized to You

在本季度雅思話題中，有一個雅思口語話題Time Someone Apologized to You (別人給你道歉的經歷)。首先這并不是一個完全的新話題，在2015年9月就已經有考過同樣的話題；其次，這個話題其實很好擴充，這個人是誰，和你什么關系，為什么要道歉以及你的感受等等；請同學們一定要加入細節(jié)描繪，使得整體更加真實自然。

• Describe a time when someone apologized to you
 

You should say:
 

When it was
 

Who the person is
 

Why he or she apologized to you
 

And explain how you felt about it

下面分享一下這個話題的sample，注意要靈活改動: 

Sample 1:
 

Well I think that we all tend to make some mistakes in life now and then, sometimes intentionally, and sometimes unintentionally, but we usually regret them afterwards. I always try to apologize for what I do wrong, and of course, I expect the same from others.
 

So last month, my friend borrowed my camera for the day and he knows very well that I’m very possessive about my camera. I asked him to take good care of it as I know he is a careless person, and in fact, this is the reason why his father doesn’t buy him his own camera. But he promised me to use it very cautiously and safely. However when he returned it in the evening, he sounded very low and he told me that his little cousin accidently dropped it and got it broken.
 

He was feeling very guilty for not taking care of the camera and he apologized repeatedly for his negligence, and he assured me that he would get it repaired the first thing the next morning. I did feel a little mad for him though, but at the same time very sad as my camera was damaged, but somewhere in my mind I knew that this was not his fault. Normally, I easily lose my temper but it was because of his sincere apology that I couldn’t stay mad at him for very long. So the next day, he went with me to the mechanic and luckily the damage was not so bad or expensive to fix. He apologized again and assured me that he’d be more vigilant in the future. 

We are still good friends and I feel that receiving an apology and forgiving someone is the best way to maintain and make relationships stronger.

Sample 2:
 

Today I’m going to share with you an occasion when one tour consultant gave me an apology for being late for picking us up at the airport.
 

It just happened in last month. My friends and I decided to go traveling to somewhere during the vacation. Finally, we chose Korea as our destination. As neither of us can speak Korean and in order to avoid any uncertainties may occur during the trip, we think joining a travel group may be the best choice for us. So we consulted a local travel agency and made the payment immediately. The travel agency promised that they would pick us up on time at Seoul airport when we arrived there. However, when we arrived in Seoul and waited for over 1 hour, no one showed up.
 

By nature, I’m a forgiving person and hardly take mistakes seriously because I think anyone can make blunders sometimes really. But waiting for such a long time made me feel helpless and annoyed. I called back to the travel agency and after an hour of busy signals, I finally got through. The staff who answered my phone explained to us that it was his fault that he forgot to type our names on this travel group list, and he would try his best to solve the problem.
 

Finally, the company arranged another car to pick us up and we got part of refund as well when we came back to Xi’an. He also sent us a long email to show the apology to us for his mistake. My gut instinct told me that the apology seemed genuine and sincere, and I should try to accept the apology and then I acted on that acceptance by replying his email to show my appreciation for his attempts and my willingness to recommend their tours to other friends who want to visit Korea.
