Dear Colleagues,I`m studying TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) and I am doing my PhD dissertation right now which is on interlanguage pragmatics. I need a number of American native speakers to answer two tests which requires them to write down what they would say in different situations. A sample question follows:You and your friend had a meeting at a caf yesterday. She forgot your meeting and she didn`t answer your phone either. Today she calls you to apologize for it. What would you say to accept her apology?In case you are volunteer to help, I`d appreciate it if you could possibly send me your email address.Regards,Ensieh Khodarahmi

Ensieh -- I'm not technically a "native" speaker of American English but I have lived and worked in the US for over half my adult life. I have also translated into US English for 35 years. I would be happy to complete the tests you describe, if you'd like me to.

Best regards

Liv
