- Hello everyone and welcome back to English with Lucy.

Today, I have another video with a hidden story.

I hid a story in my last vocabulary video,

And I didn't say anything I hid a story within the lesson,

to stop apologising, to stop saying I'm sorry.

They're more advanced, most of them are more advanced,

more elegant ways of apologising to people.

So this video is going to really help you build vocabulary,

particularly if you'd like to improve your pronunciation

then I highly recommend the special method

of combining reading books with listening to the audiobook

It might sound a little bit complicated, but let me explain,

because it's a really, really amazing method.

Take a book that you have already read in English

or a book that you would like to read in English,

I've got some really good recommendations

in the description box and read that book whilst listening

Reading alone will not help you with you pronunciation.

it's not strictly phonetic the way a word is written

or spelled doesn't really give you much indication

as to how it is pronounced in most cases,

but if you listen to a word as you read it,

you'll know exactly how it's spelled or written.

It's such an effective method and the best part is

you can get one free audiobook at the 30 day free trial

on Audible, all you've got to do is click on the link

and then you can download some of my recommendations.

and if you want to improve your pronunciation,

give this method a try because it really does work.

I love to use it to motivate other students.

This series of examples is going to be delivered

in the format of a letter to the CEO of my company.

Because I've made a mistake, and I have to say sorry.

So the first alternative way for saying I'm sorry

Dear CEO, I owe you an apology for what happened

Number two is I take full responsibility for my actions.

like if you've messed up at the workplace.

An example, I take full responsibility for my action

I take full responsibility for my actions,

I should never have let my hair down in such

Now, to let your hair down is to allow yourself

to behave more freely than usual, and enjoy yourself.

If you say I'm going to let my hair down tonight,

it means I'm going to really enjoy myself tonight.

or it was wrong on my part, basically means it was my fault.

An example, I hadn't actually planned to attend.

I just stopped by on the way home from the pub.

but if you would like to add just a little more emphasis

you can add so or very or even both of them,

I'm so very sorry for telling to receptionist

Her pink frilly dress was actually very cute.

I'm so very sorry for telling the receptionist

If that's not enough, then you can use number five
