Teacher’s Feedback:The content of the letter is based on a classic, A Christmas
Carol. Scrooge was a mean old miser. He met three ghosts
on Christmas Eve and learnt a lesson. After that, he felt
sorry about what he had done and promised to change to
be a good man. This apology letter shows the student’s
understanding of the story. (Miss Louisa Chan)
Food For Thought:Will you write an apology letter to your friends or family
if you make them angry?
