今日のテーマは「謝罪」です！
 
Today I would like to share different ways to apologize.
1. Sorry.
This is a general short apology. We use this when we bump into people on the street. At other times, it sounds too weak.
2. I'm (so / very / terribly) sorry.
In phrase 2, we use 'so', 'very' and 'terribly' to make the meaning stronger. 'Terribly' is the strongest. If we use one of the words in brackets, it is stressed.
3. That's my fault.
 to take all the responsibility for what happened.
4. Please don't be mad at me
This phrase is asking the other person not to get angry. The tone is quite informal.
5. Please accept our (sincerest) apologies.
This phrase is often used in formal letters. The word 'sincerest' makes the apology very strong and very formal.
