********** NOT a teacher **********
Hello, Mooyong.
(1) Maybe I am wrong, but I feel that there can be a difference
between
I'm sorry and
I apologize.
(2) (Mrs. X is entertaining Mrs. Y. Mrs. X's little son walks in)
Mrs. X: Tommy, this is Mrs. Y.
Tommy (to Mrs. Y): You are ugly!
Mrs. X: Tommy!!! You apologize right now to Mrs. Y.
Tommy: I apologize.
Mrs. X: Now you go to your room and stay there.
(In Tommy's room. His sister comes in)
Martha: Did you say something rude to Mrs. Y?
Tommy: I guess so.
Martha: Did you apologize?
Tommy: Yes. Mother made me, so I had to.
Martha: Are you sorry?
Tommy: No, I'm not sorry that I said that. I just said the truth!!
THANK YOU
