Describe a time when you were late
1. Are you ever late for anything?/ Are you a punctual person?
I am always punctual and value time. I am never late for anything unless unavoidable circumstances arise.
2. What excuses do you use when you are late?
I do not typically arrive late for meetings or appointments. If I foresee a delay due to unavoidable circumstances, I proactively inform the person I am meeting without making excuses.
3. Why are people often late for appointments or meeting?
People are often late for appointments or meetings due to issues with time management. Underestimating the time required for tasks and a lenient attitude towards punctuality contribute to this problem.
4. Do you think people are born with time management skills or they can be taught?
Time management is a skill acquired over time. It is learned from parents and influenced by cultural factors. For instance, being raised by punctual parents or in a culture that values timeliness fosters good time management.
5. How would you teach your children time management?
Teaching children time management involves helping them create and follow a timetable. Additionally, stories or movies that convey the importance of time can be effective. Parents, as role models, play a crucial role in setting a good example.
6. Do old people and young people manage time in a similar way?
Old and young people differ in their approach to time management. Older individuals, with more life experience, generally understand its importance better. The younger generation may be more impulsive and reliant on technology, while the older generation may use traditional methods like timetables or task lists.
