38、 say like “Im sorry”. So it is of great to apologize in person.1poorpoorly考查副词。句意：向朋友道歉比意识到自己的行为有多糟糕更难。应用副词修饰动词，故将poor改为poorly。poorly “糟糕地，差强人意”。2hadhave考查动词的时态。本文的基本时态是一般现在时，且此处说明的是一般的事理，亦应用一般现在时，故将had改为have。3去掉know前的to考查非谓语动词。let sb. do sth.是固定用法，意为“让某人做某事”。故to多余。4easyeasier考查形容词的比较级。根据句中的“than”可知
39、，此处应用比较级形式easier。5theyyou考查代词。此处指你将准备好一个真正的道歉。故将they改为you。6good前加a考查冠词。句意：送礼物也是你能做的一个不错的选择。choice “选择”是可数名词。其前无限定词修饰，且此处表示泛指，故应用不定冠词a。7AndBut考查连词。由前面的“a good choice”和后面的“youre just hiding behind gifts”可知，前后句之间是转折关系，而不是顺承关系，故应用转折连词But。8talktalking考查非谓语动词。instead of “而不是”，of是介词，其后应用名词、代词或者动名词作宾语。故将talk改为talking。9wordwords考查名词的单复数。句意：毕竟，礼物不能说像“我很抱歉”这样的话。word作“话语”讲时是可数名词，其前无限定词修饰，应用复数形式。10importantimportance考查名词。句意：因此亲自去道歉很重要。be of名词be名词相应的形容词形式。故将important改为importance。
