　　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。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。守时的人与不守时的人在做事方式上有哪些不同呢?均带来怎样的后果呢?下面我们就来聊聊英语六级备考作文：守时。

　　参考范文：

　　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.

　　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.

　　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
