Today's key word is Ear
Ear e-a-r 耳朵 聽力

Your ears are the two parts of your body, one on each side of your head, with which you hear sounds.

Here is an example:
An ear for foreign languages is advantageous.
能聽懂外語是一種優勢。

今天我們為什么要說耳朵呢？Because today is the International Ear Care Day!國際愛耳日International Ear Care Day is an annual event held on 3 March. It aims to raise awareness and promote ear and hearing care across the world.保護好耳朵 才能每天聽英語悠選。

所以今天給大家分享一下英國官方公布的聽力保護小知識：First of all, The risk of damage to your hearing is based on two factors: how loud and for how long.但是沒有專業的工具怎么知道 多大的噪音會損傷聽力呢？If loud music ever causes pain in your ears, leave the room or turn it down immediately. And a handy rule is that if you can't talk to someone two metres away without shouting大喊, the noise level could be damaging. And here are 5 tips to help protect your hearing：

1. 如果你不得不在一個噪音很大的環境中工作。If you can't leave the venue, take regular breaks. A 10-minute rest break will give your ears some time to recover（恢復）.

2. 用耳機聽音樂的時候，If the music is uncomfortable for you to listen to, or you can't hear external sounds, then it's too loud. It's also too loud if the person next to you can hear the music from your headphones.

3. 60 rule. Listen to your music at 60% of the maximum volume for no more than 60 minutes a day.

4. 使用頭戴式降噪耳機。These block out background noise and allow you to have the volume lower. 要特別小心入耳式的耳機哦

5. 給耳朵放個假。According to Action on Hearing Loss, you need at least 16 hours of rest for your ears to recover after spending around two hours in 100dB sound, for example in a club. 所以，適當的讓耳朵也休個假吧
