Unit 10: An hour around the world 
 
Part 1: Time zones 
A time zone is an area of the world where they use the same time. Different time zones exist because the earth is 
constantly turning. You travel across time zones as you move east to west, or west to east, around the globe. 
Some countries like Portugal or Egypt have only one time zone, but larger countries like Russia or Canada, can have 
many times zones.
The USA has six. When it is 9.00 a.m. in Los Angeles on the West Coast, it is already 12.00 p.m. in Miami on the 
East Coast.
But countries thousands of kilometres apart north to south can still be in the same time zone.
When it’s 9.00 a.m. and it’s snowing in Finland up north, it’s also 9.00 a.m. more than 10,000 kilometres down south 
in South Africa. And it definitely isn’t snowing. It’s the middle of summer. The sun is shining, and people are 
enjoying a day out at the beach. 
Part 2: One hour around the world – part one 
It’s a busy world. And at any point in time people, around the globe are doing a million different things. 
New York 
It’s 6.00 a.m. in New York. Jack is making breakfast. This morning he is cooking eggs. Jack works as a tour guide in 
Manhattan. He gets the subway into the city early in the morning.
