The passage below contains 5 mistakes (question 46-50). Find out the mistakes and correct them. Write the correct answers on your answer sheet. It is difficult to write rules that tell exactly when we should apologize, but it is not difficult to learn what. If we have done something to hurt someone’s feelings, or if we have been impolite or rude, we should apologize. An apology indicates that we have done a mistake and we are sorry for it. It is a way of expressing our regret for something. When we apologize, we admit our wrongdoing, usually offer a reason why for it, and express regret. The simplest way to apologize is to say, "I'm sorry", but often that is not enough. Let's take a common situation.
