Different people have different
ideas about time.People in the USA
think that it is important to know the time.In cities in America,there
are clocks in stations,factories and other buildings.Radio announcers(播音員) give you the correct time during the day.
Most Americans also have watches with them wherever they go.They want to do
certain things at certain time.They don’t like to be late.
But time is not so important to
everybody in the world.When you visit a country in South
America,you will find that people there don’t like to rush.
If you had an appointment(約會(huì))
with somebody,he could probably be late,because he may not want to arrive on
time.
In South
America,even the radio programs may not begin on time.The men on
the radio may not think it is important to tell the exact time.People in South America think that clocks or watches are just
machines.They think that you let a clock or a watch control(控制) your life if you do everything on time.
