Speaking

Offering an Apology

E2 Sanjay spills coffee on a guest’s coat in a restaurant. Read the dialogue to see how he apologizes.

Guest : Boy, look where you’re going.

Sanjay : Oh, oh, the coffee ...
Guest : See what you’ve done. You’ve spilled it all over my new coat.
Sanjay : Oh, my goodness! I’m sorry, sir. I’m really sorry.
Guest : Never mind. It’s all right. You should’ve been careful.

Sanjay : Sir, I’m terribly sorry.
Guest : Now let it be, boy. You make too much of the matter.
Sanjay : Sir, permit me to wipe your coat. That’s the least I can do.
Guest : Leave it, I say.

Sanjay : I’m sorry, my sincere apologies, sir.

E3 Enacting a scenario
Divide the class into four groups. Your teacher will place a stack of cards in a box at the front of
the class. Each card has a scenario written on it. A member from each team will go and pick a
card. Each team has to role-play the situation which it gets.
After the first round, return the situation cards to the box. Your teacher will shuffle them. You
have to again pick out a situation and enact it. If you get the same situation as the last time,
you have to choose again. The team members who did not enact the first time will do it in the
second round.
