Where I'm from, we're pretty relaxed about time.We don't like to rush around, so we don't mind if people are a little late sometimes.If you tell a friend you're going to their house for dinner,it's OK if you arrive a bit late. We like to enjoy our time slowly. We value the time we spend with our family and friends in our everyday lives.We often just dropby our friends'homes if we have time. We don't usually have to make pians to meet our friends. When we see each other,it's polite for boys to shake hands and for girls to kiss each otheron the side of the face. We often just walk around the town center, seeing as many of our friends as we can!

在我们那个地方，我们的时间观念比较随意。我们不喜欢匆匆忙忙的，所以有时如果人们晚一会儿，我们也不介意。如果你告诉一位朋友你要去他们家吃饭，如果你晚到一会儿也没关系。我们喜欢慢慢享受我们的时间。我们珍惜在我们的日常生活中与家人、朋友一起共度的时光。如果有时间，我们经常顺便到朋友的家里拜访。我们通常不必刻意安排与朋友见面。当我们见到对方时，男孩们握手，女孩们互相亲吻脸的一侧都是有礼貌的。我们经常只是在城镇中心走走，就能尽可能多地

见到我们的朋友！

Marc LeBlanc 马克·勒布朗

Lausanne,Switzerland 瑞士

In Switzerland,it's very important to be on time. We're the capital of clocks and watches, after all! If someone invites you to meet him or her at noon, then you're expected to be there at noon. If you're even 15 minutes late,your friend may get mad. So I make an effort to be on time when I meet my friends. I always leave the house early to avoid heavy traffic because I think it's impolite to keep others waiting. Also, we never visit a friend's house without calling first. We almost always make plans to see friends. We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together.

在瑞士，守时是非常重要的。毕竟我们是钟表之都！如果有人邀请你在中午见面，那么你应该在中午到那里。即使你只迟到了15分钟，你的朋友也可能会很生气。所以当我与朋友见面时，我努力做到守时。我总是早早离开家以避免交通拥挤，因为我认为让别人等待是不礼貌的。而且，我们也从不事先未打电话就登门拜访朋友。拜访朋友几乎总是要事先计划好。我们通常计划着一起去做有趣的事或一起去某个地方。
