    How to Apologize in English

    1. My Apologies

    My apologies is another word for “I’m sorry.” It’s rather formal, so it’s fine for business
    contexts. Commonly, people use it to decline an invitation or express regret at not being able
    to fulfill a request.

    Example : My apologies, but your order will not arrive until Monday.

    2. Pardon/Pardon Me/I Beg Your Pardon

    Pardon is a verb which means to allow as a courtesy. Pardon me asks the offended or
    wronged person to excuse your mistake. Pardon used alone is a shortened form of “I beg your
    pardon.” In that instance, pardon is a noun that means forgiveness or tolerance.

    Example: Pardon me; I didn’t mean to offend you.

    3. Excuse Me
    Excuse me is used to politely interrupt a conversation. You might also say it if you commit a
    social mishap

    Example: Excuse me; I didn’t realize that wearing shoes indoors was impolite in this country.

    4. Oops/Whoops

    Oops (or whoops) is used for mild errors or social blunders. If you spill a glass of water, you
    might use this exclamation of chagrin for your mistake. On the other hand, if you break an
    invaluable heirloom vase, a stronger apology might be in order.

    Example: Whoops, I broke your coffee mug.

    6. My Bad

    My bad is a slang expression used to claim responsibility for a deed. If you bump someone on
    the street, you can say “my bad” to let them know you acknowledge your fault. My bad
    should only be used in casual speech or among friends.

    Example: I lost the book you lent me. My bad! I will buy you a replacement.

    If you make a mistake, don’t worry. With so many new ways to say you’re sorry, you
    can apologize for your gaffes and goofs in style! What’s your favourite way to say you’re
    sorry?

    D. Essay Writing

    Argumentative Essay

    What Is an Argumentative Essay?


    An argumentative essay is a piece of writing that takes a stance on an issue. In a good
    argumentative essay, a writer attempts to persuade readers to understand and support their
    point of view about a topic by stating their reasoning and providing evidence to back it up.

    Argumentative essay writing is a common assignment for high school and college
    students. Generally, argumentative essay topics are related to science, technology, politics,
    and health care.
