雅思口语话题题库part2语料：on time
How do you remind yourself to be on time?
Sometimes, I would set an alarm clock, but it doesn’t really work, ‘cause like I said, I always spend too long sitting in front of my mirror, touching up my makeup, so I often get out my place a few minutes later than I planned.
语言点解析：
touch something up = to improve something by changing or adding to it slightly例如：
She was busy touching up her make-up in the mirror.
place = (informal) a house or flat/ apartment; a person's home例如：
What about dinner at my place?
I'm fed up with living with my parents, so I'm looking for a place of my own.
I thought I'd better clean the place up.
Do you think it is important to be punctual?
Yeah, definitely. Being punctual is a way to show your respect for others. If you are late all the time, like I do, people around you will lose their patience or be upset about it, which is not good for your interpersonal relationship. I learned it the hard way.
语言点解析：
learn something the hard way = to find out how to behave by learning from your mistakes or from unpleasant experiences, rather than from being told
