English IUnit 4(para.1)In social activities it is always emphasized to be punctual,to have a strong conception of time.If you fail to keep your promise or do not come on time and thus keep your host waiting,that is very impolite.Its hard to imagine what will happen if there is such an activity as a banquet,interview,or meeting,yet all people concerned do not come on time.Punctuality and Keeping PromiseNew Practical English IUnit 4If you are asked to meet a foreign guest at the airport or at the railway station and you go so late that the guest has come before you arrive,how anxious and embarrassed he will be when he,as a stranger to the place,sees no person meeting him!The same is true with the activity of seeing off a foreign guest.If you arrive so late at the airport or railway station to find the guest has gone already,whats the use of your going there?New Practical English IUnit 4(para.2)So,as a host,whenever there is an activity,you should come to the place ahead of schedule so as to wait for the guests to come.Dont let the guests wait for you.Its very impolite.Those who are to help entertain the guests should also come earlier than the guests.But for a guest,at what time is it proper to come?New Practical English IUnit 4You should be punctual.That is,neither too early,nor too late.If it is too early,the host may not get the things ready.If it is too late,you may keep the host waiting.Anyone,guest or host,who is really late for a social activity,should apologize to those who have already been there.New Practical English IUnit 4(para.3)After making an appointment,generally,dont change it as that is impolite.If you do have to change,you should inform the person by telephone or with a written note as soon as possible,so that he or she can make a rearrangement.Sometimes,an appointment has been already made,but something unexpected happens and you find no time to inform the person concerned.In this case,you should make an apology to the person afterwards.New Practical English IUnit 4Para.1When is it particularly important to be punctual?Answer the following questionsaccording to paragraphs.Reading comprehension New Practical English IUnit
