3a Read the following opinions of a Colombian and a Swiss student. Where I’m from, we’re pretty relaxed about time. If you tell a friend you’re going to their house for dinner, it’s okay if you arrive a bit late. Spending time with family and friends is very important to us.

We usually plan to do something interesting, or go somewhere together.
