2017年12月英语四级作文范文：守时与不守时

　　Directions:

　　Write a composition entitled On Punctuality. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chiness.

　　1.守时的人的做事方式;

　　2.不守时的人的做事方式;

　　3.不守时会导致的后果。

　　On Punctuality

　　Punctuality means observing regular or appointed time . A man who gets up at six o'clock every moming is punctual. A man who promises to call on a friend at five o'clock in the aftemoon and actually does so at that hour is also punctual.

　　守时的意思是遵守规定的或约定的时间。一个人每天早晨都六点钟起床是守时的。一个人承诺了要在下午五点钟给朋友打电话，实际上他在那个时间也这么做了，那么他也是守时的。

　　The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, to return calls, or to keep appointments promptly.

　　另一方面，不守时的人，从来不会在合适的时间做他应该去做的事。他总是埋怨没时间准时地回信、回电话或遵守约定。

　　Undoubtedly, unpunctuality is harmful. Getting up five minutes later than usual may upset the plan of the day. Calling on a friend five minutes later than the appointed time may cause unexpected trouble to both sides. Failure to be punctual is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to a dinner but arrives later than expected, he keeps all the other guests and the host waiting for him alone. This is great impoliteness. Moreover, habitual unpunctuality leads to indolence and even failure in life. (170 words)

　　毫无疑问，不守时是有坏处的。比平时晚五分钟起床通常会扰乱一天的计划。给朋友打电话比约定时间晚了五分钟可能会给双方带来意外的麻烦。不能做到守时是对他人不尊重的标志。如果一个人受邀去吃饭，却比预期的时间晚到了，他让主人和其他所有的客人都在等他一个人。这是非常不礼貌的。此外，习惯性地不守时会导致生活中的懒散甚至失败。
