Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and tips and do the exercises.
Preparation
Aziz
I'm running 10 mins late, sorry!
No problem!
Aargh! Traffic is really bad. I'll be more than 10 mins late now, sorry again!!
It's OK, don't worry. I'm in the café already so it's fine
This is not my day! I'm here but can't find a place to park. I'm looking for a different car park. Not sure how long I'll be
OK, LMK when you find a place
I might get something to eat tho
Of course! I'll be as quick as I can
OK!
Found one! Be there in 10 mins
Well done! See you soon
Thx for waiting
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.
The perfect person ! Without late I'm not me 😅
I do not like to some one for me.
I usually be on time but sometimes not. For me is disrespectful that my friends or family waits for me.
In my opinion, time is realy important. That's why I'm always on time. I think 10 minutes is late for me
Oh! I couldn’t agree more. Time is money
I'm a man of word. I'm always at time. When I met anyone in anyplace I go to there before time. I'm strictly follow my time. I'm feeling good when because of me anyone waiting for me because I'm late. I know well my area when there is traffic and when not.
I'm honestly more late than on time. I'm a lazy guy. And I'm often around 10-20 mins late. I need to change this terrible habit I've been carried ever since I can remember. But folks here in my country are normally as late, if not more I am. So there's nothing to be worried about If you come here and have an appointment, party, meeting (except from job) or whatever, never is too late. the intention is what really matters.
i'm not always at time, I came late into work by at most 45 mins, so i need to be more puctuale in my time.
I think 10 mins is "late" for me
I'm beginner in this program
Usually I’m on time. For me, 5 minutes is late. :)
