Dear Mike, These days, I find that I have a growing interest in listening to music. Taylor Swift is my favorite singer. But I' m spending so much time listening to music that I'm having problems with my schoolwork. I have a lot of schoolwork to do these days. What can I do about this problem? Wu Yu |
Dear Wu Yu, It’s nice to hear that you’re spending much time listening to music. I also like to listen to music often, and I even play it myself. I think it's a fine hobby. But how much time do you need to spend listening to music? It’s hard to say. If listening to music is stopping you from finishing your work, then maybe you should listen a little less. Every hobby must be enjoyed in moderation (适度). There is such a thing as“too much of a good thing” . Here's an idea: why not listen to some other kinds of music when you study? It's OK that you can do both at the same time. The key is to choose music that isn’t too distracting (使人分心的)。There are many kinds of quiet music you can enjoy. If you choose it, I think it' s all right to listen to music when studying. Mike |

"Fall" and"Autumn"
What season is it in October? If you ask people from the UK, they will tell you it's "autumn". But if you go to the US, you will find that people use“autumn" or“fall".
According to Dictionary .com, both words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was the first to describe this season. During this season, crops (庄稼) would become ripe (成熟) and farmers would have a big harvest. So in Old English, this season was simply called "harvest" .
Then, in the 1600s, more people left their farms and moved to cities. With fewer people farming, the word "harvest" became less useful. English speakers needed a different name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees during the season, so people started calling it“the fall of the leaf", or“fall" for short.
But at the end of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word "autompne" and the Latin "autumnus" came to England. "Fall" as the word for this season disappeared slowly.
At the same time, people in the UK were making their first trips to North America. They brought both the words“fall" and“autumn" with them. That's why today's Americans have two names for one season.
