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.

No, I'm not. I always like to arrive 10mins before the meeting and I hope the other person arrives on time. If the person arrives 1min late, it's late for me. Time is of great value to me and I don't waste it. I think Time is worth more than money.

When I go to work, I'm on time. If I go out with friends or my boyfriend, usually I'm late, because l'm more relaxed. Late for me is 10 minute.
