If you need to interrupt people, you can say Pardon me or Excuse me.
When you apologise, you should look like you are sorry.

flowers or ice cream, leave an apology message or send an e-card.
There are some slang ways that we may hear to say sorry.
My bad is a common way to say it among teenagers.

My Diary
I have a new diary. It soon became my favourite thing. I like writing about my days
in the diary.
The diary has a blue cover. Blue is my favourite colour. There are a hundred
pages inside the diary. The pages are in different colours. Each page has a washed-
out background. The backgrounds are the pictures of the super-league heroes.
Another special thing about my new diary is that it has a lock to keep the diary a
secret.
On the first page, there is a beautiful poem. The poet tells about the
importance of keeping memories. It says bad memories are to learn and good
memories are to entertain. I love the poem. It encourages me to keep a diary. By
doing so, I believe I can improve my English.
