语法

grammar 

【Letter writing】书写写作

在信的开头常的下面两个句型：

What a surprise it was to …

What a surprise it was to send me flowers.

在to do sth. 的结构当中，可以在前面表达动作由谁做, 加一个“for sb.” 

It is important for me to do sth.    （“for” 一定要加在 “to” 的前面）

What a surprise it was for you to send me flowers.

Forgive me for not writing earlier, but …     我很抱歉我这么久没给你写信

I apologize. / I do apologize.     我真的很抱歉!(do 其强调作用)

You apology is accepted. 

【Key structures】关键句型
