如果線上會議九點開始,你會幾點上線呢?八點五十?還是九點整準時按下去進場?本週的《英語咖啡館》John 老師和 Angel 老師要來聊聊不同文化對「時間」的理解,原來「準時」這件事,每個地方的定義都不太一樣喔!

Angel 老師也在這集分享了航空業飛行前報到的真實觀察,大家明明約了同一個時間集合,有人提早半小時就坐好,有人卻是最後一刻才走進來,你猜猜最後到的是哪裡的同事?答案可能跟你想的不一樣喔!

If an online meeting starts at 9:00, what time do you log in? 8:50? Or do you click in right at 9:00 on the dot? This week on English Cafe, John and Angel discuss how different cultures understand “time.” It turns out that being “on time” is defined quite differently in different places!

In this episode, Angel also shares real observations from pre-flight check-ins in the aviation industry. When everyone agrees to gather at the same time, some people are seated half an hour early, while others walk in at the very last moment. Can you guess which region’s colleagues arrived last? The answer might surprise you!
