Reading

As the saying goes, ‘time waits for no man’. Time is always against us, and we just can’t stop it. Maybe that’s why some of us are always running late for appointments. But if timekeeping is not what you’re good at, don’t stress. There might be a good reason for your lack of punctuality.

People’s attitudes to being on time vary. Some clock-watch and make sure they’re bang on time for a meeting. It is, after all, rude to be late, and if you can make it on time, why can’t everyone else? But if, like me, you want to make every second count, you might try to squeeze as much as you can into the time you have available. However, when your schedule doesn’t run to plan, your punctuality inevitably slips.

Speaking exercise

I watched English cartoon with my son, that English is quite easy for me. We paid the deposit to the restaurant. Some departments colleagues will perform. We bought a microphone. Everyone need to go on stage and have a small talk about their life. We will have a prize for the “Best Employee of the Year”. He can get the extra bonus.
