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 a person that always on time because I don't like being late. Personally, I think that 10 mins are the maximum for late
I always try to be on time because I don't like being late, but even if I arrive five minutes late nothing happens. If I arrive after five minutes for me it means being late.
I always on time but sometime I will be late because traffic jam or season personal. For me one minute is late so that I always try to on time.
I am usually on time. But, if I am going to do a group project with my teammates and some people will be late, I often tell them that I'll also be late so I don't have to wait for them. I'm okay with 15 minutes.
