Time zones.

In this lesson, we will learn:

1)  to tell the time

2) to look at different weathers in different countries

---

Different countries have different time zones. As I am writing this, it is 6 o'clock in Malaysia, but it is now 7 o'clock in Japan. 

Have you seen these clocks?
 If it's 7:30 am in Paris, it's 5.40 pm in Japan!

To know the time in other countries, we have to look at the time zones.

Different colour indicates different time zone.

If we are in the same time zone, our time will be the same. For example, Malaysia and Singapore are in the same time zone. So, right now the time in Singapore is 6 o'clock, too. Look at the video below about time zones:

Now, let's listen to this news. Then, try to figure out the time in other countries by clicking on the map below.

Now, click on the map below and guess the time in other countries. What is the time in Kuala Lumpur? The news has the clue.
