I'm Afraid: 恐怕

You can't finish your essay for your professor on time. Write a polite email: break the news gently, explain what happened, say what you were forced to do, and suggest a new date. Write 80–180 characters.

  • Break bad news gently with 恐怕
  • Say you were forced to do something with 不得不
  • Say what's left as the only option with 只好
  • A polite apology and a request

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
