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'm rarely late for a meeting because it's important to respect the time of others. For that reason, when I am late 10 time minutes for any circumstance, I try to contact the person or people immediately to inform them about the situation and say sorry for the inconvenient.
I am always more than 10 mis late in almost every appointments
for me, i always try to be on time but i can't, i don' know why but the first thing that i know is i'm not a responsible woman
sometimes i thought how i can avoid this negative habit i find just one way to avert it it's to be ready 1 hour before the meeting and if i applicate this method i can be on time
i'm always running 30 to 60 mins late, i know that so long but i try to avoid this lateness....
I try to be on time, but I'm often late for many problems, for example: the bus is late or the traffic is in the way. I think 1o minutes is late for every activity, the best choice is stay 5 or 10 minutes before the hour.
I am trying to be on time for my work or meetings, and almost I can do that, but sometimes I do it late.
I m always late.When my daughter was little, I would pick and drop her to nursary. The administration was always angry with me for late pick-up.
I think 25 mins late for me
I apologize for the delay and inconvenience this may have caused. unfortunately. I am running a bit behind schedule and will be arriving later than expected. I will do my best to minimize any further delays and appriciate your understanding. Thank you
I always be on time when I committed to meet someone. But when I was in university, sometimes I do late because of my delay wake up. This happened cause I didn't prioritize university classes as high as other things. Typically I meet anyone rarely so I always give high priority to my commitment and arrive at least 15 to 30 minutes early. This type of behavior reflects how responsible a person is and give value to others time.
I think 15 mins is late for me
