[参考范文]
Dear Mr. White,
I am sorry to tell you that I won't be able to attend the lecture on British history on Saturday afternoon. My parents will return from America, and I have promised to meet them at the airport at 3:30 Saturday afternoon.
I am very much interested in British society and history. I wonder if it is possible for the talk to be recorded, and if so, could I borrow the tape? It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and learn what is covered in the talk.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
