21、 Sunday. Im terribly sorry, and I have to say goodbye for my uncle. He is going to England to do him PhD and he will leave off this Sunday. To be honesty, Id like to go with you to the concert. I hear the performance will last two week, so how about go there next Saturday? Please let me know that it will be OK. Give me call.Thanks.Li Hua答案：难项分析：第一处：went go 考查虚拟语气。 suggest 表示“建议”时，后面所跟的宾语从句用虚拟语气，从句中的谓语动词要用“shoulddo” ，其中 should 可以省略。故 went 应改为 go。第九处：thatwhether/if 考查宾语从句的连接词。根据句意可知，此处表示想知道这样做“是否”可以。故 that 应改为 whether/if。第十处：call 前加 a 考查固定短语。give sb. a call “给某人打电话” 。
