Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and tips and do the exercises.
Preparation
I'm running 10 mins late, sorry!
No problem!
Aargh! Traffic is really bad. I'll be more than 10 mins late now, sorry again!!
It's OK, don't worry. I'm in the café already so it's fine
This is not my day! I'm here but can't find a place to park. I'm looking for a different car park. Not sure how long I'll be
OK, LMK when you find a place
I might get something to eat tho
Of course! I'll be as quick as I can
OK!
Found one! Be there in 10 mins
Well done! See you soon
Thx for waiting
Tips
1. You don't need to write complete sentences for text messages.
2. Use abbreviations like LMK (= let me know) or use emojis to save time writing.
3. You don't need to use full stops (.) at the end of messages.
4. Say how many minutes you think you'll need, e.g. I'm running 10 minutes late.
5. It’s good to say sorry and sorry again, but you don't need to say sorry in every message.
I try to be on time but sometimes I am 10-15 minutes late. For me 30 minutes late for me.
Me too
It depends who I meet if it's my friends, I might be 10-15 minutes late, but if anyone else, I'll be on time
I’m usually on time for an appointment. I often use the Map app to know how far and how much time from my location to the destination. I will go earlier about 20 mins with the estimate. For me, 10 minutes is late.
I usually try to be on time. even sometimes i arrive 5 or 10 minutes soon to an appointment. but there is sometimes i can't and it's annoying for me.
The perfect person ! Without late I'm not me 😅
I do not like to some one for me.
I usually be on time but sometimes not. For me is disrespectful that my friends or family waits for me.
In my opinion, time is realy important. That's why I'm always on time. I think 10 minutes is late for me
Oh! I couldn’t agree more. Time is money
