A dialogue between a teacher and a student who comes late
Student: Sir, may I come in?
Teacher: Yes, stand here. What's the reason for your constant lateness?
S: It's the bus, sir. It always makes me late.
T: What time do you leave home?
S: I always leave home at 7:45 a.m.
T: How far is your home from here?
S: It's about three kilometers away.
T: That explains it. You leave home too late.
S: Sir, I have breakfast at 7:30 a.m.
T: What time do you wake up?
S: I wake up around 7:00 a.m.
T: Do you pray regularly?
S: Not consistently.
T: My dear, that's not a good habit. You should change your routine. Wake up early, say your prayers, and go for a morning walk.
S: But there's no park near our home.
T: No worries. You can walk along the street in the morning. Have breakfast on time and then leave for school.
S: You're right, sir. Starting tomorrow, I'll never be late.
T: Good. Also, remember that regularity and punctuality are key to success.
S: Thank you very much for your valuable advice. Can I take my seat now, sir?
T: Oh yes, of course.
