Apologizing appropriately

今日のレッスンは、オーストラリア人のショーナさんとのマンツーマンレッスン。最近オーストラリア人の先生が多い徳島校であるが、だんだん違和感がなくなってきた。僕にとっては、カナダ人の先生が一番耳になじんだ感じであるが、オーストラリア系にもなれてきた感じがする。

Main language
preparing the listener.
Hi, Have you got a minute? Um,you know you lent me your camera?
I need to talk to you about something, is now a good time? It's about your presentation notes.
Listen,I'm not sure how to tell you this,but,you know how I promised to mail that letter...?

Trying to soften the impact
I'm afraid I kind of had an accident.What do you mean,"You kind of had an accident"?
Uh,...there may be a bit of problem.
A preblem? What kind of problem?

Confessing
Well,the thing is, I dropped it,,,and it got a little wet.
Err,I think I may have accidentally deleted the files.

It was extremely careless of me. Of course,I'll pay for the repairs.I'm really,really sorry.

It's completely my fault, I'm sorry, Is thre anything I can do to help you prepare for the presentation?
