范文

Well actually I used to be late on many occasions, I was not a punctual person. So here I would like to share one of those experiences.

Remember when I was in junior high, the school was near where I lived. It was 20 minutes’ walk, but I was always late for school. We started class at 7:30 every morning. One day, I couldn’t find the shirt I wanted to wear, so I spent like the whole morning looking for it. It turned out that I was 30 minutes late. I was an idiot I know. My teacher was super angry and she asked me to stand in the corridor for one hour and let me in to have class, but I could not sit. So I stood for another two hours. I was exhausted and wanted to cry.

My clas*ates laughed at me, giving me nicknames like lazy head, Miss late, things like that. So I was mentally and physically hurt that time.

So I learned my lesson. And I set an alarm clock every day. I got everything ready in advance, making sure that I would be on time. Later, my teacher and clas*ates changed their view about me. But that experience of being late is really unforgettable.

重点表达

punctual adj. 守时的，准时的
in advance 提前
change the view about sth. 改变对…… 的观点
