Can you suggest how people can make sure they don’t arrive late?（答案较长，可选择答一个点即可）

There are many ways to improve punctuality. One effective method isto plan ahead. For example, whenattending important events likeweddings, job interviews, ormeetings, people had better estimatehow long it would take to get to the destinationand how much time they would need to get ready before leaving. It's alsoa good idea to add an extra 15-20 minutes for any unexpected events, like traffic jams.

Besides, choosing a suitable means of transportation helps. Whenpeople set off, they should check traffic information beforedeciding whether to drive a car, grab a taxi, take the subway or ride a bicycle. In rush hour, for example, they had better use the subway asit is less affected by bumper-to-bumper trafficand generallyarrives at stopson time. However, during off-peak hours, driving a car or taking a taxi is more recommended. Withoutstopping at each station, it’s much faster than public transport.

What would happen to people who arrive late for work?

Well, various consequencescan occur ifemployees arrive late for work, ranging frommild to severe. In my country, one common punishment for tardinessis a deduction in salary. Companies usuallyset specific guidelines regarding how many times andhow long lateness is acceptable. Employees who exceed these limitsmay have their pay reduced asa disciplinary measure. I thinkthis practice is effective in promoting punctualitybecauseit reinforcesthe importance of being on time andfosters a sense of disciplinewithin the workplace. Lateness can not onlydisrupt productivitybut alsohurt team dynamics.
