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.
I am rellay sorry!! I am late again!!
I am always try to reach on time but most of the time got late
I am always on time , but in some cases no longer than 10 mins
I like it because I can notice my mistakes.
I am usually on time. For me, ten minutes stands for "late". [Punctuality] is one of my beloved values.
most of the time i am late but i am trying to change this bad habit as soon as possible
People always say that I'm late ,but I think that less than half an hour is not late , however I'm trying to get ready early to not be late .
I am always late and this is too bad. I'm trying to do my best to change it.
I'm always late, and this is a bad habit.So, i'm trying to be on time, i just need to read some books about it, and i think it help me a lot.
I always try to be on time or even ealier. I think it's bad to be late and give bad feelings for person waiting for you.
