Not long ago. I had to say sorry at work because I didn’t complete a required training. There were many trainings, and I was thrown into tasks immediately when I started, so I didn’t really have time to finish them.
It was last week; the thing was I said sorry for the conditions being I was forgotten to change price updated files on one drive and as a result we missed the opportunities from customers on our website. That was my fault, so I said sorry to my team and noted down about this on my note not to do the same mistake as previous.

A client called my office mobile and he wanted to talked about the offer. He introduced himself and tried to talk about it. As I do not familiar with what he was saying, I told him that the relevant person will call you. After I passed this information to my senior, he asked me what offer he wanted to talk about. I said I am sorry, I didn't catch his voice.
This afternoon I went to the swimming pool to have swimming lessons. We tried to do crawl with a pull buoy between our legs to learn the arm’s technique . We were swimming one behind the other but I was swimming faster than the woman in front of me and at the end I hit her feet .It was my fault and I apologised. Later we were swimming on the back and on arrival I couldn’t see the others and I hit them .I apologie one mor time but honestly it was fine and we laughed.
