About Me
- TGriffin
- I have been a language teacher (ESL/ELL, French) for 30 years. I have taught in public and private schools, immersion programs, refugee programs, adult/continuing education, elementary, middle, and high school as well as university. Currently I teach ELL at a high school somewhere in New England.
According to the most primitive human biological clock and habits, the day represents the light, the day is all things grow, the work of the time to play. We like to be around the light, warm and comfortable, can see the beautiful scenery, most of the time the animal came out. The night is dark and quiet time, cold and lonely, we don't love this time physically, this is not the natural light, we can not see too many things and also dangerous, dangerous animal will come out. So we usually hide and rest. Although these are the habits of the ancient, now we have artificial light, but we can not let the light as the sun all over the earth, and the sky is still dark. Because of the habit, we can't get used to it at night, and we usually feel very sleepy.
ReplyDeleteThe sun light is definitely important to us. The first clock human invented is based on the sun light. Then human can check the time easily. Also in the nature, the majority of the animals work during the day time, and sleep or hide during the night. They do hibernation too, why do they do that? I think in the winter there don't have enough sun light so the crops con't grow.
ReplyDeleteSo we can see how light's importance. It does not affect the animals but also the plants.
When I was a child, I always went to beach and enjoyed the sunlight. Everything can not live without the sunlight. The plants need light to make photosynthesis. Human-being need light to work. However, most of the people do not regard the sunlight as important. They waste the sunlight time to play computer inside. They should go outside to enjoy the sunlight. If I have time, I always try my best to practice outside. After school, I often play basketball with my friends outside. The darker time is also very important in our life. During the darker time, we can sleep or enjoy the movie. But, sometimes it gives me some problem. I always miss my home and friends in the dark. It makes me very upset.
ReplyDeleteSunlight is the most important to us! If we don't have sunlight , most of plants can't be survival. Everybody know planes for photosynthesis. So if we lose plants, we don't have fresh air. Then human cant be survival too! How terrible. It is not only for human, it is also for animal. Even though we have air but no food, we can't be survival too. Artificial light can't use forever. It's waste electricity. I like sunlight. It can let me feel warm. Is can give me some power to study.
ReplyDeleteThe darkness is bother me. Because I don't like dark, I can't see when I stand in the dark, when person can't see, they will think something is happening. That's also why light is so important to us. We can see under the light, the sunlight also warm up us, warm up the animals and plants. We can't alive without light, either sunlight or just light
ReplyDeleteDarkness doesn't really matter to me, only wen I sleep. I actually enjoy walking on the streets were there in not much light and not many people, it is really relaxing. Wen I 12 years old, one of my dreams was to go to school wen it was night, it was a experience that I always wanted to feel. But of course, light is important, really important. With out light basically everything will be dead on earth and other planets. Light is like our god. With out day we all die. We would not be able to grow crops, plants would not grow either. I we need those long days. And I need those short days too.
ReplyDeleteDarkness is my favorite part of the day. I don't really like the sunlight. I always feel nervous if the sunlight is too heavy to me. It is more easier to finish the work at night. And for the most of the people, dark also mean rest time and quiet. I like to be quiet and lonely. It will make me more intellect. So this is also the reason for me like winter more than summer.
ReplyDeleteI think sunlight is very important for us. Not only for human, but also for animals and plants. We can not survive without sunlight. If we do not have sunlight, the Earth will not accept heat from sun then the Earth will be cold and bo one can survive in the Earth. Also I think darker time is also important for everyone. We need to sleep without light. And animals need to take a brake either. Both of sunlight and darker time are very important to the Earth.
ReplyDeleteLight is important to us because we need it to life, the pants need it to photosynthesis and to be warm, to see and other essential facts that the human being needs to live. The fact of having less light a day makes me be sad and bored because it seams that is night and I cannot do anything because I don't have light outside. Also makes me be sad because it seems like 9 or 10 but it’s only 4 or 5 in the afternoon and I need to get out in the street and play or do something before going to bed because if I don't do it my head usually feels like it’s going to explote.
ReplyDeleteI don't like light.I think darkness maybe more suitable for me.Because the world only at night to sleep ,so only at the evening the world is so quiet.I can do something in the evening.Such as listening to the music,and do my homework.I need a quiet environment to learn and do my homework.
ReplyDeleteSun is very important for us. We need sun to keep life. If we stay in a place where is always dark, you may get some sick. Dark doesn't bother me, and even I like dark. I always listen music in the evening. The dark can make you feeling better when you listen music. It was very relax. We need sun, but if always is light, we will get sick too. So, I think sun and dark are same important.
ReplyDeleteI think that the light is so important for us, it's so useful and obviously we need it for almost everything. It's true that we have all sorts of artificial lights and we use them a lot but it's no the same, as they said there's some people that suffer a kind of depression due to lack of daylight and I think that it's really weird, they can't change it so they have to live with it. But I mean apart from that if I miss hours of sunlight I can't do the same things that I used to do when there was sunlight, like sports, it's not the same but anyways it's like this and we can't change it, we have to live with it. So basically it doesn't bother me but if I have the chance to choose between those two I'd choose have longer days with sunlight.
ReplyDeleteSunlight is giving us light, it's also is a hope for us. Sunlight give us warm, and make people happy. Everyday when the sunrise, that means there is a new day start. Forgot what make you sad yesterday a perfect day is coming. The light LED or other kind of light is the pirate from the sun, if you ask me you want a pirate or original, of course I may choose original.
ReplyDeleteSunlight is the thing that kept everything alives. It makes the tree grows stronger and produces oxygen for living things. Yes it is true that we have a bunch of way creating light yet the sun provides the best light. Light from the sun is pernament. We can absorb the solar energy for many reasons in our lives. It gives us light every momment even nighttime: the moon can't make light itself, it reflexes the light from the sun to Earth. People miss the long hours daylight, some suffer from lack of daylight. It is because seeing daylight has become their routine, their regular observation. That is why when the daylight is getting less, people tent to miss it bacause they have seen it everyday, every morning, so when the daylight is gone further, they want it back. Sometimes darker time does affect me because I like light. But darkness isn't bad. If you feel it, you can see the majestic of darkness
ReplyDeleteI think sunlight is very important to us and our daily life,more than this,trees need sunlight,flowers and animals need sunlight,I believe every living creature needs sunlight!With the sunlight we can know when is morning,when is evening,it tells us we should to go to work or study,and also tell us we should have a rest.
ReplyDeleteBut now we use artificial light to replace the sun,we seldom walk outside,so we don't think sunlight is so important for us.I miss long hours of sunlight.I think sometimes you can go for a walk,look at the sun,bask in the sunshine,enjoy your life and be relax when you have time.
Don't always under the pressure,proper rest and decompression to unwind the sunlight.I think darker time of year just a little bit bother me,but it doesn't matter to me.we can use artificial Lightroom solve the problem,haha.
I think sunlight is giving us light, it's also is a hope for us and then the sulight is warm and make people happy i don't know why but a lot of people feeling is better after seeing the sunlight beceause that means there is a new day and new chance. If I seeing outside and its dark my feel is bad and tired. The LED or kind of light is not same is the sunlight. But I do not mind that outside its dark I don't no why.
ReplyDeleteI think the sun gives us energy and tells us time so it's important. I am not particularly fond of the sun. Because the night will not bring harm to only fear, and the sun is exactly the opposite. The darkest time of year will not bring me harm because I do not go out ah.

Last but not least
ReplyDeleteIn my earlier life, I had been taught that we can't survival without sun or even the sunlight. In fact, sunlight is really important to our life, so is darkness. Sunlight keep the plants survive because the plants need sunlight for photosynthesis. Technically, human won't be able to survive long without plants because we need the oxygen that the plants made, we need the food or fruits that the plants made to give us energy to do whatever we need to do. Plus some scientists made the machines that can transfer sunlight into solar energy which can make our life better because it gives us the electricity that we need everyday in the modern world.But just like what I mentioned before, darkness is also important for us. For example, we need darkness to give us the message of when we should go to bed. And I think the shorter daylight wouldn't effect me so much since I like to stay at home which mean day or night isn't a big deal for me.
I think the darker time of year bothers me because sunlight is important for us. We can't live without sunlight. Like a long time ago, our ancestors didn't have lights. They could only use the sunlight to do anything they wanted to do. Everything would be dark when the night came. Although we have lights now, we still need sunlight to work. Sunlight is a thing that can make you feel better and give you power to do things better. I am a person like do things with sunlight. I don't like practicing and having classes without sunlight. So sunlight is important for the world. That's why we always work in the daytime and sleep at night.
ReplyDeleteWell, according to the introduction, I think the natural light to bring many benefits for human evolution, before humans learned to make fire, they can only act during the day, it is because the sun made during the day, let the human have half the time to learn and survival of natural light to bring us warm, according to the wavelength of the sun he is confirmed to be the most suitable for human survival of the light, even if there is artificial light we can imitate the wavelengths of the sun, the sun bring light to the earth's vegetation, so that they can in this environment to the survival of humans make oxygen, so it's very important to natural light.

ReplyDeleteHumans, animals and plants on Earth need the sun because it provides most of the energy required to survive in this solar system. Earth would be a very cold and lifeless planet if it did not get its light and heat from the sun. Similarly, the Earth's stays in orbit because of the gravitational pull of the sun. People do not live without light. I do not have any fear about light or dark. I am a survivor . If there is no light , it is nothing to me.

Nothing is more important to us on earth than the sun. The sun is our supply of daylight. The sunlight is important to us, most of us smiling when the sun rises. We need sunlight to manufacture vitamin D, and this is necessary for the absorption of calcium that is important for strong bones and overall health. The sunlight is not only important to people, it also very important to earth. Because it warms the seas, generates weather patterns, and gives energy to the growing green plants that provide the food and oxygen for life on Earth. The sun is the prime source of the energy that we get from food that we eat. I think humans couldn't survive without sunlight. Actually, I don't really like winter, because the sun set is at 4-5, so the daytime is very short. I don't like to go outside at dark, so the darker time of year bother me... Anyway, the diurnal change is natural law, we can't control it. So just enjoy the sunlight and you can get healthy
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, sunlight makes trees provide oxygen to human.This is the most important benefit we receive from sunlight.I don't think I will like darkness.If we have darkness all the time.when the earth like that , animals and plants will die , so do people.I love go out and breathe fresh air.Sunlight gives me the chance to do this.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion sunlight is the most important thing, it keeps us warm, gives us vitamins for our body, gives life to the nature and without the sunlight the earth would be cold, and either humans, animals or plants would be able to live. Without that light plants and trees wouldn't be able to give us oxygen. A lot of people suffer depressions because in winter, they start working very early and they don't finish working until very late at night so they don't see the sunlight much. The lack of sun of course affects me, I love the sun, because that means that it's summer or summer is gonna come soon.
ReplyDeleteGenerally, sunlight is important to us because it makes plants to produce the oxygen and it make us feel warm. We cannot live in a place where is cold and lacks of oxygen.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I prefer daytime because I feel it's longger than the nights. Also I don't feel lonely or sad when I stand in the sunshine because the sunlight will encourage me and make me feel confident to face the problems.
Sunlight is important for people, animals, and plants. It gives energy to us. Same to animals. Plants can't live without the sunlight. If we didn't have sunlight we would become mentally deranged. In my opinion I prefer darkness than sunlight. I don't mind sunlight but I don't like sunbathe. Usually I spend every day on tennis court, especially in summer. So usually it is hot and I hate run in hot weather. But sunlight in winter or spring is okay for me.
ReplyDeleteI think sunlight is very important, for any organism, the light energy can be converted into heat, sunlight can make the normal photosynthesis of plants, the supply of oxygen required for other organisms, the sun is also important for the growth and development of children, once the lack of sunlight to form the body of vitamin D, Then the child's development will have serious problems. I like sunlight,it very comfortable.
ReplyDeleteSunlight is so important to us because ultraviolet rays in the sunlight can kill acarid and ozone radiation. And UV also can promoting hematopoietic function and body's metabolism. Although I don't have kind of depression due to lack of daylight, nowadays a lot of people are not usually go outside to get sunlight. When I stay in dark room for a long time I will be uncomfortable. In a dark environment, I can't see anything so I will become impatient.
ReplyDeleteI think sun is important because even today's technology is high quality and developed well. Also, sun is important because it makes our food, it provides fresh air, and light. Darker time of year doesn't matter because I usually prefer night than morning because night make me Feel better but I really don't like morning
ReplyDeleteThe sunlight is a good way to save and to create energy. Nowadays there are many developed technologies that can create energy from the sun. There are some traffic lights that are charged with the sunlight. In summer days that are longer than winter, you can use sunlight underside artificial light. Sunlight can really help us with a lot of things, we should really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThe darker time of the year really bother me. It looks like the day ends before. I feel like it's more late than it is, and this makes me feel so lazy. I'm not energetic I just think that is time to bed and I'm not enthusiastic for doing anything.
I think the darker time of year doesn't bother me at all because I always spend my time in my room but not outside of the dorm, the dark night doesn't affect my activities like reading, playing, studying. On the other way, I think people should be used to adapt the changing of time because it happens every year, if you can't adapt, you will be very uncomfortable living on earth.
ReplyDeleteI think sum is very important for us. Plant need sun to do photosynthesis and light is also important for us. Also sun can provide heat and convert that into many kind of energy. For me sun is important too. If daylight becoming short that means the time I can stay outside become short. And also dark will make feel lazy. So it's really bother me.

The sunlight is important for us, because we are not able to do lots of activities under the darkness. Human are getting used to doing activities with sunlight. For me, the darkened does't bother me. The reason is that I can't sleep under the sunlight. By contrary, the darkness would help me to fall in sleep. I don't think darkness would bother me.
I like the light, dark people feel very depressed. Since ancient times, people have been searching for light, light to give people a sense of security. I do not like the dark, a child of fear of darkness, I look forward to bright. People like to use light to describe a person, such as the person feels very sunny. I like light, do not like the dark, dark people feel very uncomfortable, like a heart as heavy as a stone. Light also brought us inexhaustible energy.
ReplyDeleteLight is important to us. A certain amount of sunlight is required to produce vitamin D. A lack of vitamin D can lead to rickets. As the presence of light we were able to see the front. Animals living in the ground were degenerated. If you do not see the light, you are more likely to get depression. Humans acquire a lot of information through eyes. Light is essential.
ReplyDeleteI think sunlight is important to us, because the sunlight can give us a lot and a lot of effect
ReplyDeletesuch as the food energy、warmth、light、precipitation, A plant will capture the suns rays in a chloroplast through a chemical reaction，If it were not for the sun evaporating the water off of bodies of water, we would not have rain or snow，there would be droughts and most of the world would be a barren desert. I think darker time of year is bother me, because I don’t like winter, as winter approaches and the earth tilts away from the sun, the days become shorter, this means less sunlight is available for our use.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments on the darkest part of the year. Hang in there: only 11 more days until the winter solstice!
ReplyDeleteSunlight is important to us, we cant live with out sunlight, crops, vegetables, animals, they all need sunlight. With out sunlight people can't live on the earth. Light bulb can help a lot, we we are in the night we can work with the light and we can use them to light dark place, but people can't live only under light bulbs, that will cause illness. Also sunlight can give us warmth to make sure we don't got cold injury so people can't live without sunlight.
ReplyDeleteThat Sunlight is significant for everyone is undoubted fact , including vegetation, animals or aquatic creatures. By the way, We can absorb nutrition from sunlight and sunlight can efficiently reduce the growth of bacteria. If we were living a place without sunlight for long time, we will feel uncomfortable that we look the dark world everyday. That is, there are big trouble that the car accident will be increased and people will be scared. So we must live in a sunlight world.
ReplyDeleteSunlight is very important for us,animal,vegetables.we can live without light,but we can not live without food. I think live with sunlight is better than live in the dackness or underground.if we live undergoing a ions time I thinks we will have some change some bad things.
ReplyDeletefrom Maria:
ReplyDeleteAs the winter solstice comes December 21st, days will be shorter as they used to be. I love sunny days. It helps me to get in a good mood. When I have a bad day, sun always helps me to feel better. In my opinion sunlight cheers you up and gives you more energy. I´ve read that sun reduces heart disease, prevents diabetes and prevents cavities. These are all the reasons why I love sunlight. The darker time depresses. That´s why I hate like winter.
Humans can't live without the sunlight . The sunlight is the origin of all the lives in this earth. I think most of the people like daytime instead of nighttime. We are born to be liked the sun. We took millions of years to improve ourselves to become the strongest living creatures in the world. At that time , the night was very dangerous, all kinds of wild animals wake up, try to find food to eat. Humans can't as quick as the wild animals at nighttime, so they will be Killed by them. Before humans understood how to use the fire, nighttime was always dangerous. And that's why we ( and ancient people ) like sunlight so much.
ReplyDeleteDark is still dangerous now, but not because of the wildlife. When I was a kid, I was afraid of the dark. I didn't know why, but when I woke up in the evening , I even couldn't go and turn on the light. Of course, Now I won't do things like that anymore . We were born to like sun.

The light is important to people. This can be traced back to ancient years. That time people cannot product a lot things, and their major food resources are planting and hunting, but both need the sunlight, especially the planting. Crops need light to get power to grow. Nowadays people have artificial lights. But still, people celebrate the day that the sunlight comes back. Because even we have artificial lights, it cannot instead the sunlight, For me, I like to go outside and see the sunlight, that means happy and hope.
In my points of view, sunlight is the most extraordinarily important thing than any other things. Because all things on earth depend on the sun’s power for their alive. Human and animals need sun which produce calcium, lights and energies for healthy growth. Plants also need sun to keep they alive and growth too. People always make the energetic, optimistic and sunny to be the meaning of sun, which are very positive. The reason why some people even suffer from a kind of depression due to lack of daylight is because sun just like a belief that gives everything hope. For example, People always say if we get lost, you just need to follow the sun’s direction that will make you find the home. Sun is irreplaceable, although, human invents some artificial lights. Artificial lights only serve lights for space to be light, but no enough energy. Otherwise, the rising and the setting of sun is a regularity for people’s life. When the sun rises, people get up to work. When the sun sets, people get off work. But when the sky gets dark, people go to sleep. So the darker time doesn’t bother me because when I go to sleep, I don’t like sleep with sun, it make me uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteI think sunlight is very important to us because sunlight is important to everything in the earth. Everything in the earth need sunlight, sunlight boring us life and hopes. Sunlight is mean a lot to us, not just a simple lighte. It will make people or other life live better or worse. I think it have little bit bother me, because when we have short day, the dark will come earlier, that makes me just think is night already, I just want sleep, but in some way it's good for me, because the day is come earlier to, its easier wake up in the morning.
