Dear Professor Brown,

I am very sorry that I missed the spoken English exam yesterday. I would like to explain to youwhat happened. Yesterday I took a bus to school, but was stuck in a traffic jam. It took me more thanone hour to get to school. Unfortunately, when I hurried to the classroom, the exam had finished.

I sincerely hope you can accept my apology. I wonder if you could allow me to make up the exam.If you are available during working hours next Monday, I am going to your office to discuss it with you.I would appreciate your reply at your convenience.

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua

亲爱的布朗教授，

我很抱歉错过了昨天的英语口语考试。我想向您解释一下发生了什么事。昨天我乘公共汽车去学校，但遇到了交通堵塞。我花了一个多小时到达学校。不幸的是，当我赶到教室时，考试已经结束了。

我真诚地希望您能接受我的道歉。我想知道您是否允许我补考。如果您在下周一上班时间有空的话，我打算去您的办公室和您讨论一下这个问题。

如果您能在方便的时候回复，我将不胜感激。

您诚挚的，

李华
