Time Is Tangible

 Now, many people like to wear luxury replica watch, but they want to use it to decorate themselves first rather than check time. So even they can’t afford a piece of real rolex, they will buy a rolex replica instead. In fact, time is tangible. One can gain time, spend time, waste time, save tame, or even kill time. Common questions in American English reveal this concrete quality as though time were a possession. "Do you have any time?", "Can you get some time for this?", and “How much free time do you have?" The treatment of time as a possession influences the way that time is carefully divided.

Generally, Americans are taught to do one thing at a time and may be uncomfortable when an activity is interrupted. The idea that "there is a time and place for everything" extends to American social life. Visitors who drop by without prior notice may interrupt their host's personal time. Thus, calling friends on the telephone before visiting them is generally preferred to visitors' dropping by.
