Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and tips and do the exercises.
Preparation
Reading text
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 am usually early on time.I don't want to arrive late somewhere.
5-15 minutes don't late for me but
30-60 minutes late for me.
Why am I waiting you? I get up early and come here. You must get up early and come here.

I can't organise my time correctly. I usually be at the meeting place at least 10-15 minutes earlier. And generally someone I wait is late.

Actually, I am an organized person, I do my best to respect my appointments. So, usually I arrive on time. what is considered late for me depends on the situation itself and if there is any circumstances that is out of control.

I am sometimes late about one hour when I meet with my friends . But isn't always ! I always said only one word " Traffic is so bad , I will reach there within 10mins" . My friends always said , "Your 10mins means next 30mins , we know " , " Take care your way , see you soon" !

Honest talk: when I have a very important meeting or appointment, I try to be on time or on advance. Sometimes, when I get ready for party and the date is not determined, I could late. Several times, I didn’t go on time to my friends’ birthday.
We could be late, it happens sometimes and totally understandable to have some unforseen. If the person let me know that she or he is late. I am fine, I perhaps wait. But if, I haven’t any news from my friends, that is not acceptable.
