On Punctuality
Punctuality means observing regular or appointed time.A man who gets up at six o'clock every moming is punctual.A man who promises to call on a friend at five o'clock in the aftemoon and actually does so at that hour is also punctual.
The unpunctual man,on the other hand,never does what he has to do at the proper time.He is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters,to return calls, or to keep appointments promptly.
Undoubtedly,unpunctuality is harmful.Getting up five minutes later than usual may upset the plan of the day.Calling on a friend five minutes later than the appointed time may cause unexpected trouble to both sides.Failure to be punctual is a sign of disrespect towards others.If a person is invited to a dinner but arrives later than expected,he keeps all the other guests and the host waiting for him alone.This is great impoliteness.Moreover,habitual unpunctuality leads to indolence and even failure in life.(170 words)
守時的意思是遵守規定的或約定的時間。一個人每天早晨都六點鐘起床是守時的。一個人承諾了要在下午五點鐘給朋友打電話，實際上他在那個時間也這么做了，那么他也是守時的。
另一方面，不守時的人，從來不會在合適的時間做他應該去做的事。他總是埋怨沒時間準時地回信、回電話或遵守約定。
毫無疑問，不守時是有壞處的。比平時晚五分鐘起床通常會擾亂一天的計劃。給朋友打電話比約定時間晚了五分鐘可能會給雙方帶來意外的麻煩。不能做到守時是對他人不尊重的標志。如果一個人受邀去吃飯，卻比預期的時間晚到了，他讓主人和其他所有的客人都在等他一個人。這是非常不禮貌的。此外，習慣性地不守時會導致生活中的懶散甚至失敗。
