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 usually a little late to places, especially school. I know I need to improve my habits.
I am running out at least 15 minutes late for work. I know that it's not a good habit. but the fact is, no matter how hard I try, how early I get up, i can't make it on time!!!
Usually, I am on time. Arriving fifteen minutes is late for me.
I like being there early. It's better to also be late than not to be there at all.
i always try to be on time. because it's important to me too much to get on time. but suddenly, sometimes it's heppen to me to be that i'm late. for example, things like traffic, accident make me that i'm late or maybe i leave something at home and have to go home and take it. anyway i hope these things don't happen to me anymore
Hello,
Somenthing unxpeted happend. sorry, but i'm arrive ! just sarching for a park,
I'm in time as long as i have a good mood throughout the day:)
I'm usually on time, but sometimes I'm late because some unforeseen event. I consider it as late, when the people arrive more than 5 mins late.
I usually arrive early. because I don’t like to be late. Of course, there are eventualities that I can’t control and sometimes I usually arrive a little late. I consider it depends on the person who is late, for me it can be 10 to 20 minutes.
I am almost on time when it comes to meeting friends, going to classes, or attending events. Of course, there are some exceptions; when something unexpected happens, and I'm not able to arrive at the destination on time. For me, 15-20 minutes is considered as being too late.
