Sometimes it is necessary to tell someone bad news gently.

1.A： I'm afraid I spilled coffee on the tablecloth.

B： Oh， don't worry about it.

A： I want to apologize. Is there anything I can do?

B： Just forget about it. I never did like it anyway.

2.A： I'm really sorry，but I seem to have misplaced your scarf.

B： Oh，that's all right.

A： I'm very sorry. Can I get you another one?

B： No. Forget about it. It's not important.

3.A： I'm sorry，but I can't find the book you lent me.

B： That's OK.

A： I really feel bad about it. Let me buy you a new one.

B： No. Don't be silly. I wouldn't dream of letting you do that.

4.A： I feel terrible，but I've just broken your ashtray.

B： It's nothing to get upset about.

A： I don't know what to say. I'd like to replace it.

B： No. It's out of the question.
