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 try to be on time. I agree with someone who previous wrote that being on time shows respect to the partner.
But sometimes I'm late. I have problem with estimate a time needed to get to the meeting.
Fortunately nowdays almost everyone have mobile phone so we can inform a partner when we arrive to the meeting.

Well, may be everyone wants alway on time and me too. But life is alway unexpected. Such as bad weather, traffic jams, breakdown, etc.... So I try to be on time by a lot of ways. On bad weather day, I get up erlier to go to the office on time. Sometime, I will pass a red light and risk launching a motorbike at sixty kilometres per hour. This is very dangerous for myself and other people, so I'm eliminating this bad habit. In my opinion, "late" is about 10 minutes.

I always underestimate the time taken for traveling to the meeting place because I am not often using public transportation or driving my car to meet anyone.
