2. 说明未能按时交论文的原因。
3. 表示自己将尽快把论文补交上并表示以后将按时交作业。
●审题概述●
这是一封道歉信，写的时候要遵循道歉信的一般模式：开篇直奔主题，然后说明原因，最后提出可能的补救措施。第一段，对晚交论文及对此造成的后果表示歉意；第二段，说明理由（可信的理由，而不是随便应付老师的借口）；第三段，表示尽快完成论文。
【范文】
A Letter of Apology
Dear Mr. Wang,
①I am writing to apologize for my late homework. The paper which you have ②assigned to us last Monday was ③due this Friday, but to my regret, I haven’t even started it yet. I feel really sorry for not handing in the paper on time and ④for the inconvenience it would bring to you.
I have caught a serious cold last week and the doctor asked me to stay in bed for a week since I was very weak and the weather was very cold these days. Therefore, I couldn’t go to the library to get the necessary ①referential information which was needed for my paper. As a result of this, I have not started writing the paper yet and could not hand it in on time.
Fortunately I have finally fully recovered. I will finish the paper as soon as I can and ①try my best to hand in homework on time in the future.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
