18. Below is a sample letter of apology
　　Below is a sample letter of apology. Read the letter carefully and work in pairs to underline some sentence patterns which we may find useful when we write the letter ourselves.

19. Dear Mr. Singh,
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 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.
