Audio Passage
“Good morning, Ms. Lopez. I wanted to apologize for turning in my homework late. Yesterday, my computer suddenly froze, and I lost half my essay. I tried to make up for it by rewriting quickly, but it took longer than I expected. I know deadlines are important, and I don’t want to be in hot water with you. This was my mistake, and I’ll hand in future assignments on time. Thank you for understanding—I’ll work harder to stay prepared.”
