late for Work Do you feel guilty if you are late for work?

One in ten workers said that they arrive late to work at least once a week and about 24% said they arrive late at least once a month. 1 Wang Ping: I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long. Tom: That's OK. What made you so late? Wang Ping: I was tied up with some urgent business. Tom: I see. Wang Ping: You've visited some places of interest in Beijing during the last few days, haven't you? Tom: Yes, we've visited many places such as the Imperial Palace, the Temple of Heaven and the Great Wall. Well, during my visit to Xi'an, I suddenly got an idea that we should build a synthetic fiber works there. It will be a joint venture. Wang Ping: That's a great idea. We'll surely try our best to cooperate with you. We have many favorable conditions to run a joint wenture there. You can get full support from the local government there. Tom: That sounds really attracting. And what about the details? Wang Ping: If it is convenient for you, we can go and visit the local government for those details. Tom: All right. Let's make it 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

I'm going to do that tomorrow. Ma Lin: Perhaps we can change your working hours a bit if you wish. Jane: No, thanks. I can manage. Ma Lin: All right. If there's anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to let me know. Jane: That's very kind of you. Ma Lin. Notes I'm sorry Sorry. Please forgive my carelessness. Please excuse me. I have to run.

I'm really / awfully / terribly sorry. I cannot tell you how sorry I am. Please forgive me. I don't mean that. That's okey. Don't worry about that. Just forget it. It's nothing. It doesn't matter at all. Never mind. It was wrong of me. I hope you will excuse me. I apologize for that. ...but I'm afraid I'll have to put off the meeting. I'm really sorry to be late again. I'm awfully sorry. I didn't realize.
