We often talk about time. “What time is it?” “I don’t have much time.” “Is it time to go yet?” “Hurry up! Don’t
waste time.” The list could go on and on. But what is time? No one can say exactly what it is. It is one of the
greatest mysteries of our lives.
Though we don’t know exactly what time is, our ability to measure it is very important. We measure time by the
second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, and century. Time enables us to organize our lives and put things in
some order. Breakfast comes before lunch. The reading class is after the writing class. Children can’t play until
school is over. Time makes our way of life possible.
People in different countries look at time differently. In some countries, it is very important to be on time and
organize everything by exact time. In other countries people are more relaxed about time. It doesn’t matter if someone
is late. But no matter how we look at time, we live in it, we live with it, and we live by it.
