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 an organized person, so i hate waiting for someone,. waiting for more than 10 minutes is late for me. I always try my best to go to work or an appointement on time . Because i use public transport so if a problem occurs with the transport, i have to be go out of the public transport and then i take a taxi or a bicycle. Last year, there was a big transportation trike in France, I was very tired. i live far from my work and everyday i had to take a bicycle to go to work in stead of using the underground . it was an unforgettable memory

I prefer reaching on time or a little early in every situation. I plan ahead and count obstacles according to the situation if there any, like if traveling by car so if know there will be traffic then I left my house a little early. I always keep 10 to 15 minutes buffer always.

I'm on an on-time person and I usually late every where, that was my habit since my childhood and I know that is not a good habit, but after all of these years, changing the personality is out of my ability, I remember that I late for my classes in school and university and all of my dates and meeting so everyone around me includes my family and my friends know how to set the date times with me, for example my friends agree about 5 pm to gather but they tell me to be there on 4 pm , the funniest part of me is that every time my friends lie to me about the time of gathering I decide to be on-time so every time we have a lot discussion to decide whats problem with me, I don't know :)))

I used to get to the meeting point early, however, tend to arrive there in time or little late these days.
We can leave home late if something unexpected happens or meet bad traffic on our way so waiting for about 10 minutes is acceptable for me - I might potter about the nearby shops while I wait for my friend.

I'm really sorry for being late. There is really a terrible traffic jam. Thanks for waiting.I'll try next time not to be late.If a traffic jam occurs, I'll leave from the bus and will start to walk.All of us know about the terrible traffic jam of Dhaka. It takes approx 1 hour and half an hour to pass 6 k.m. by bus.Sorry again!
