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 usually arrive on time because my private promise with favorite person only. And it is a rude act to be late. I have never been late in a formal setting. For example, part-time job, presentation or ceremonial occasion etc. Rather, it arrives earlier than the promised time because I am a natural very worrier. I will never do it. However of course not perfect. If I am late for arrival, the cause is often unusual oversleeping, problem with traffic or very trust person. It may be delayed for about 15 to 30 minutes. When that happens, I will contact to you soon and look for a way to arrive as soon as possible. I like waiting for people, but not everyone. After arriving at the fastest, I definitely apologize first for whatever reason. This is important to make the day enjoyable and meet again. I think the excuse is the worst. I firmly convey my apology. After that, I will make the best day with gratitude for waiting for me. My motto is don't be late and thanks to everything. I will continue to protect it from now on.
