介绍:
A: Have you heard from your brother recently？
B: Tom？ No, I haven’t. He must be furious with me. I’ve owed him a letter for six weeks. You know how it is: if you don’t write letters, you don’t get any. That stands to reason.
A: Don’t blame yourself. Remember how busy you’ve been lately. For one thing, you’ve had exams all month.
B: That’s true. But it’s no excuse. I’ve no business neglecting my own brother.
A: Well, never mind. I’ll write Tom a letter this evening. If you like, I can put in a word for you. Then you’ll be in the clear.
B: Thanks a lot. I’ll write a letter next week and make up for it.
