懂你英語-筆記分享L3-U1

前言：報了「英語流利說」旗下的「懂你英語」在線口語課程，從3級開始，一些課程開始有些難度了，所以我做了筆記。這裡我自己記筆記留存的地方，真正用得到的同學可以拿去做參考。但是建議自己主動聽，當條至少聽3次，複習時還是搞不懂的，可以參考筆記，否則對自己學習無益。

我自己也是這麼學習和複習過來的，還真的蠻有用的。有些第一次聽6~7次也不能複述的，第二次甚至第三次複習的時候又會好一些。不經歷點困難怎麼記憶深刻呢？正因為多次無法複述，才會記得深刻，吃得更透。整個過程好像小孩子智力未全就開始學一些技術難度有點大的科學課了，要理解的新詞很多，新知識也很多。但反反覆復被提及、嘗試錄音，被動接受變成主動「應用」，就慢慢理解了。再加上時間的堆砌……總是有一些東西留下來的。留下多少，就看個人的付出了。

最後，有啥錯的漏的麻煩留言，我及時改。

In fact, theres a 12 hour time difference between Boston and Shanghai.

When its midnight in Shanghai, its noon in Boston.

(noon is 12:00 p.m.)

(our planate is a sphere)

(rotates from west to east)

# To know which direction is east or west, watch the Sun.

+## The time of day depends on your location on the planate.

For travellers this means it can be very difficult to sleep after a long flight.

The clock may say 8 p.m., but for your body its noon.

This is called jet-leg.

Some countries such as the US have several time zones.

## Crossing several time zones causes jet-leg.

You will cross several time zones.

+## It depends on how far east or west you travel.
