We can use expressions such as “Let me think about it.” “Wait a moment, please.” to fill the silence while we think.

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms have been a part of Chinese culture for around 2,000 years. These terms tell 24 stages of season changes throughout a year, such as the Waking of Insects, Grain Rain and Greater Heat. Solar Terms are important for farming.
But now, studies show that the timings of these Solar Terms are changing because of global warming.
