To start with, everyone is obsessed with time. Sometimes we have too much of it, sometimes not enough. Sometimes we are short of time, sometimes - it’s on our side. We spend a great deal of it arranging our things and plans.
The fact is the use of the word ‘time’ in conjunction with other words to form expressions is very diverse. Let`s learn some examples. ‘Airtime’ describes the time at which a radio or TV program is scheduled to be broadcasted, whereas ‘closing time’ refers to when a shop or other business closes for the day. By the way, one can either do short or full time work with regards to how many hours a day or week one works. We also use time to measure one’s punctuality, commitment and interest to a job or task on whether the person in question arrives in or on time to do something. If it should be the case that he or she is late, then this might be justified or apologized for by the person, explaining this as being a unique or ‘one-time’ event which will never happen again. So as you can see, ‘time’ is extremely flexible and every person values it in his own way.
