Every one should observe time and never idle4 little away. In America almost every American wears a watch and in nearly every room in the American home there’s a clock. “Be on time!” “Don’t waste time!” “Time is money.” “Time waits for no one.” All of these sayings reflect the American obsession5 with properness and efficiency6. Students will discipline their teachers when they arrive late. Anyway, we should form the good habit of being punctual. If we can save time we can make more contributions.
