Being on time around the world, waiting your turn and deadlines, sentence 10
Being on time shows respect for other people's time, and lateness is mostly fixed by habits: pack your bag the night before, leave a bit earlier, and arrive a few minutes early, like Ella's mum, who sits in the car at 9:50 for a 10:00 meeting.
Who acts: habits, mum · What happens: be, show, fix, pack, leave, arrive · To what, where: respect, lateness, bag, car
