I live in China, and I have always been confused about why the time difference between Beijing and New York is sometimes 12 hours, and sometimes 13 hours. Now, I realized the reason. That's very interesting, Thank you

Dialogue: Did you set your clock forward for daylight savings time? What, why do we have to do that? Well, at the start of the spring, we usually have more daylight in the mornings and less in the afternoon. This is basically due to our position on the planet and the rotation of the earth. In any case, to take better advantage of the daylight available, we compensate by moving our clocks forward 1 hour. I see, that's convenient. I never understood things like this, such as GMT. I never know what time zone we are in or when to change my clock. That just stands for Greenwich Mean Time. Here in California, we're in Pacific Standard Time, that is 8 time zones west of Greenwich. Remember when we were in Beijing? Well, then we were in China Standard Time, and that's eight time zones east of Greenwich. That's why it was so weird traveling from Beijing to LA because of the huge time difference. Even though we left Beijing at noon and flew for more than 8 hours, we still arrived in LA the same day at noon. It's like we went back in time. Language Takeaway: Rotation of the Earth: The earth rotates, meaning it spins around an axis. This affects how we perceive day and night, leading to adjustments like daylight savings time. To Compensate: This verb means to make up for something, in this case, adjusting time to benefit from daylight. Compensation can refer to time or money, where one makes up for a deficit or loss. Time Zones: The earth's rotation creates different time zones. Each time zone is generally an hour different from the next, though some have half-hour differences. Countries like the USA have multiple time zones due to their size, while China uses one for simplicity. Time Difference: This refers to the number of hours between different time zones. For instance, there's a significant time difference between Beijing and New York, which can change with daylight savings time. Fluency Builder: To Take Advantage Of: This phrase means to use something efficiently or to make the most out of it. Examples include carpooling to save on costs or using computers to speed up work. Stands For: Used when explaining acronyms or abbreviations. For example, GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time, USA for United States of America, or names like "Kathy" standing for "Catherine." Go Back in Time: A phrase implying travel to the past. It's used metaphorically in the dialogue to describe how one can seem to "go back in time" due to time zone differences when flying across the world.
