Time



 
In Morris’ class this afternoon, we talked about ‘’What time is it?’’ this topic. So you can image Morris can make a funny show for his class, also I gave him a lot of support. Mentioning many relative questions and themes about time; firstly, I referred the sentence ‘’Do you have the time?’’ Have you heard it before? Its meaning is the same as our topic. However, he said this sentence is like ‘’Do you have time?’’ They are all the same; it’s his answer. I am a little confused that before I heard someone explained which the sentence with ‘’the’’ is to ask ‘’What time is it? ,’’ but another one means ‘’Are you free?’’ or ‘’Are you available?’’ About this issue, my conclusion is that he is a man, no matter what he thinks that! Then I said a special noun ‘’daylight saving time,’’ so coincidently that it’s connected with his country, Australia. Aussie government ruled each summer their people should adjust time one hour earlier; that’s to say, in the practical situation they can have early lunch at 11 o’clock. Because they can enjoy more sunshine in a day, he explained. I am curious how was it if happening in Taiwan? Some people change their watches earlier to make use of time, usually in the end it doesn’t look like very useful, though. How do you think? You would like to let your time in advance?
