Thursday's Assignment

If an event, such as a class, begins at 9 a.m., what time do you show up?

In some cultures, you show up at 9:30 a.m. or even 10 a.m. In others you turn up no later than 8:50 a.m., bright eyed and bushy tailed, all ready to go. In still others, you may not show up at all, blaming the will of heaven.

Discuss the topic of punctuality for 3 minutes with a partner. What are the most common excuses? What are the worst ones?

Here are your tasks:

1. Do this dictation exercise.
2. Role play: Being Late to an Event
