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'm usually late, it's something that I'm trying to change, and BTW, about 30 mins is late for me.
Sometimes, Most of the people are understand to face difficult and a few people is can't understand.
I usually try to on time but sometimes I am late due to bad weather or traffic
As a theacer, I am on time as usual as I can, but another time i am going late a few minutes due to trafic jump
I don't like "late", usually i'm on time or early. Late for me is five or ten mins
I'm always late to the places. I can change this. I'm always be late, however which this place where.
I usually always arrive early to the places I go to.
Usually i'm on time, and for me is so really important that people are in time, late for me late is 20 to 30 minutes
I agree that maintaining discipline for a long time is hard, but trying to attend an appointment on time is how to respect yourself and others.
