Mr and Mrs White and their children are going to London for a holiday today. And they have to be at the airport (机场) at eleven forty. “It’ll take us thirty minutes to get there in the taxi,” Mr White says. “So we have to be ready by eleven o’clock. Nobody should be late.”
At ten to eleven Mrs White is still sitting quietly in the garden. But Mr White and the children are still running around doing things. They are all in a hurry. At eleven o’clock the taxi gets to their home. Mrs White says to Mr White and the children, “Well, I know that this is going to happen, so before I went to bed last night, I moved all our clocks and watches ahead (提前) twenty minutes. So now we can go to the airport quietly without worrying about being late.”
