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 usually late. I often stay late at night, so I often wake up late in the morning, then go to work 15 minutes late.
I think one second late is late. You have to arrive before the meeting time. I love to be on time because it shows that I care and respect other people and myself.
