Homework Ⅳ
The English language has many proverbs and sayings about time.
1. Time is money.
I think so. We can't never get the time again
and money is essential for surviving.
But I think, actually, we should not compare time to money
because they are completely different from each other.
2.A stitch in time saves nine.
I think this proverb is for me. I can't do right away what I have to do.
Then, I panic each time. I hope I would leave my work early.
3.There's no time like the present.
This meaning is "the time is now" or now is your chance.
I like this. It is very nice!
4. Fashionable late.
I take no thought of fashionable late.

In the latter case, we talk about different things and go to different places because it is not the same that is life circle.

Yes, I do. Because I judge the character by how you look at first impression. For example, if I see someone who wear a cute skirt, I judge the person who is cute, lovely and pretty. And if I see someone who has a boyish appearance, I think the person who is cool. So I am not aware of judging people according to what they wear.
