About Course

Have you ever wondered why we suddenly change our clocks twice a year? This practice, known as Daylight Saving Time (DST), is much more than just gaining or losing an hour of sleep—it’s a global tradition with a fascinating history.

In today’s lesson, we will explore this ‘time travel’ phenomenon through:

  • A deep dive into the origins and the modern debate surrounding DST.
  • Mastering time-related phrases like ‘against the clock’ or ‘to bide your time’.
  • Interactive exercises and a debate on whether we should abolish this tradition or keep it.

By the end of the session, you’ll have the vocabulary and the arguments to discuss the value of time like a pro. Let’s dive in!
