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 don’t like anyone keep me waiting for long time.May be others will think this way too..so I don’t like to make anyone waiting so I try to be on time

It depends on the traffic. I usually try my best to arrive on time, but can't always do it due to unpredictable traffic. 10 mins Before or after I count as on time in that sense. So, 15 mins late is the time I consider late and subjected to an apology.

I admit I have a problem with the punctuality. I always sorry for this defect but it is something I have not been able to change though the years. My friends or acquaintances already know about this and they always begin (whatever the activities are) without me.
To me being late means 1 hour. I do not have problems when someone arrives late. I always bring with me a book into my backpack in order not to be bored.

I'm usually on time, for me is bad to arrive late, I think my time and your time is important. If happens something I'll probably call or text you explaining what happened with me and you'll probably wait for me. If you arrive one minute later, for me you're unpunctual person.
