I’m terrible sorry to make you disappointed for not have finished my homework on time. In fact, I had something else to do, that made me have no time for my homework.
My father is badly injured in a accident yesterday. Hearing the news, I hurried the hospital after school. I had a busy night, but I didn't do my homework. As what you know, I am an ordinary student in class and eager to improve your English. I find I have great difficulty concentrating on my study. Would you please give me some suggestion? Besides, I wish you could give me more chances to practise my English in class.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you early.
