• when you cause people harm or discomfort?
• when others don't agree with you?
• when you feel embarrassed? 
• when you overhear someone and wants to join them?
• when you...(just brainstorm!)

Are rules of apology the same in China and the US?

• Do you apologize when it's not your fault? What will happen if you do it?

But do you use all the steps in every situation?

You have failed to finish a quest for 10 times because you always forgot to do as they said. They were getting increasingly impatient but still decided to give it a last try. However, you failed again. What will you say to apologize?]]> 2022-10-31 15:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ouyangtaochi1996/hwbq920zmrrnhur5/wish/2363533201 ouyangtaochi1996 https://padlet.com/ouyangtaochi1996/hwbq920zmrrnhur5/wish/2363559511 Will you use the same strategies and expressions when you apologize for...

• missing your mom's call when you are having this meeting with us?
• forgetting to hand in your assignment in time?

• ...

Or, you can choose not to apologize!

I take full responsibility.

I beg your forgiveness. 

I’m sorry to have…

I'm terribly sorry that I can't...

Do you always need to apologize like an American?

Do you apologize to an American, a British, an Canadian in the same way? They are all English native speakers!

How will you apologize to an English learner whose L1 is not Chinese? Will you do it in a Chinese way or an English way?
