Ví dụ
“I’m thinking of dropping out of my hiking club. It’s not that I don’t like getting out and exploring some of the great trails in the area. But one month there might be an outing every week, then the next there’s only one. I’d prefer a schedule of hikes that’s not so on again, off again.”
“The last community committee never got much done. Perhaps it was because of all the on again, off again meetings they had. But now, the new leaders get together regularly. As a result, they’ve been able to clean up the area, improve public safety, and accomplish a lot that’s made our community a nicer place to live.”
