这是一封道歉信。此信必须涵盖三个核心部分，一是道歉，二是解释改变行程的理由，三是请求对方再安排约会时间。考生还必须意识到，由于对方是教授，因此道歉信使用的语言一定要礼貌得当，提供的理由要庄重，不能是类似于“我感冒”了这样的鸡毛蒜皮小事。而且，请求另行安排会面时的语气也要诚恳。

Dear Prof.Smith，

It has been very kind of you to arrange your appointment with me for the upcoming Friday morning.Unfortunately, some unexpected thing happened in my laboratory today and I am now trying my best to fix it.So it is unlikely that I can leave for our appointment until after I have got it all settled.

Meanwhile, my appointment with you is one of the most important things I cherish. So could you be kind enough to reschedule it for the next week, at your most convenient time? I hope it will not give you too much trouble, because I know finding an unoccupied time is not easy for such a busy person like you.

Thank you very much for your kind consideration.

Yours，

Li Ming

在描述图中所列出的数字信息时，考生可以侧重于描述三个主要因素，也可以面面俱到描述五个因素。但是在分析和评价各个因素时，考生则无须面面俱到，只要把主要的因素说一说就行。然后考生可以对餐厅如何更有效地吸引顾客就餐给出建议。也就是说，作文基本上按照“描述问题→分析问题→提出建议”的行文模式去写。

范文

The chart presents the various factors customers take into consideration when they choose where to eat.The special features of the restaurants are the most important factors, accounting for 36.3% of the choices, followed by the service and dining environment.It is surprising that only 8% of the choices are based on food price, which seems to suggest people consider the eating experience as more important than the money spent.

China is rich with food of special regional features.Especially in large cities, you can eat in restaurants with various flavors.China is such a big country and people flock to large cities from different regions.So it is natural that they choose restaurants that meet their tastes best.In addition, many young people like to try new things, so they also attach much importance to the special features of the restaurants.On the other hand, older people may be more concerned with the service and environment.

Such data offer valuable information for restaurants that want to attract more customers.They must have some special foods to offer, as well raising the standard of their service and improving the dining environment.They should know that customers are willing to spend more only if they offer satisfying food and service, and make them feel at home.
