Is there anything Standard about Standard Time?

2 answers:

6 0

Answer: Standard time is the synchronization of clocks within a geographical region to a single time standard, rather than a local mean time standard. Generally, standard time agrees with the local mean time at some meridian that passes through the region, often near the center of the region. Historically, standard time was established during the 19th century to aid weather forecasting and train travel. Applied globally in the 20th century, the geographical regions became time zones. The standard time in each time zone has come to be defined as an offset from Universal Time. A further offset is applied for part of the year in regions with daylight saving time.

The adoption of standard time, because of the inseparable correspondence between time and longitude, solidified the concept of halving the globe into an eastern and western hemisphere, with one prime meridian replacing the various prime meridians that had previously been used.

Making a transition to High School

Although I knew it would be a change from elementary school, high school

was a total surprise to me. In particular, I was most shocked by three differences that asserted that high school would be an entirely different experience.

One difference that I noticed right away is that the subjects I am taking are definitely more complex and advanced. For example, in Elementary school I took science and math and now I have biology and algebra classes instead. High school also offers more subjects than elementary. I find that with all the new subjects learning has become more interesting.

Another surprise is the amount of homework. I find that I have twice as much homework in high school compared to elementary school. In elementary school I spent about an hour every week night doing homework but now I spend about two hours a day, sometimes even on weekends. However, longer library periods help me get some of my homework done during school hours. Although the homework takes longer and is harder than before, it gives me a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.

When I discovered I was having trouble concentrating in library periods, I realized how much more crowded high school is compared to Elementary school. The library is jam packed with students, many of whom I don’t even know. With so many students, high school has a more competitive atmosphere. An example of this is seen in the overwhelming number of students trying out for the same spots on the sports teams. Nevertheless, the added rivalry has a beneficial hand, It Keeps me clever.

While the distinctions between elementary and high school are significant, At first, I was unsettled, but now I find that they all have a strong plus side. I’m beginning to embrace the idea that high school is a whole new experience. The changes such as the different subjects, more homework and a bigger crowd become less surprising everyday.

I hope it helps.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Exposition.

Explanation:

A story's exposition is the background details of the character(s), setting, or other elements of the story. In other words, we can say that a story's exposition tells us the details of the story before the current scene, like details about the past or anything that can give us information about the story.

A flashback is about past events, memories, while the setting only revolves around the scene, the time, or place of the story. A character is the "who" of the story.

Thus, the element of a story that tells us the "who, what, when, and where" is the exposition.
