Want to explore new cultures, meet new
people and do something worthwhile at the same
time? You can do all
the
three
with
Global
Development Association(GDA).
Whatever
stage
of
life
you’re
at,
wherever
you
go
and
whatever project you do
in GDA, you’ll create positive changes in a poor
and remote
community(
社区
).
We work with volunteers of all ages and
backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged
17-24. Now we need
volunteer managers
aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the
safe and effective running of our programmes.
We have such roles as project managers,
mountain leaders, and communication
officers.
Depending on which
role you choose, you could help to increase a
community’s access to safe drinking water,
or help to protect valuable local
cultures. You might also design an adventure
challenge to train young volunteers.
Not only will you help our young
volunteers to develop personally, you’ll also
learn new skills and increase
your
cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet
new people who’ll become your lifelong
friends.
This summer we have
both 4-week and 7-week programmes:

our help is needed.
All our projects
aim to promote the development of poor and remote
communities.
There is no other chance like a GDA
programme. Join us as a volunteer manager to
develop your own skills
while bringing
benefits to the communities.

Passage 2
Ecobee3
Smarter WiFi Thermostat
Smart thermostats have become the face
of smart home technology for most, but depending
on what your home
is like, it’s
possible to say the ecobee3 is
superior.
Most of the smart
thermostats carry the same benefits, including the
ecobee3. They can
learn your
preferences and schedules, and then adjust the
temperature accordingly. They’re
better-looking and more enjoyable to
use than the basic pieces of plastic that occupy
most
households. Their very presence
will probably make you more conscious about saving
energy.
And once you’re able to heat up
or cool down your house from your phone, without
having
to get out of bed, you won’t
want to go back.
If you live
in a larger household, the ecobee3 can be much
more convenient — provided you pick up a couple
more remote sensors. Yes, it gets
pretty expensive at that point, but having those
gives you effective control over the
temperature
in
different
rooms
around
your
house.
In
comparison,
other
thermostats’
measurements
are
largely
limited to the area in which they’re
installed(
安装
).
If you live in a smaller place, that’s
no big deal; the ecobee3 still has distinct
advantages. It is touch-enabled and
more
spacious(
宽敞的
), making it
less annoying when you want to enter a WiFi
password, see weather information,
and
so on. Still, all the smart thermostats are pretty
great. Which one is best just depends on whether
you need a
whole-home solution or a
more straightforward one. For now, if it’s the
former, go with the ecobee3.
Ecobee3 Smarter WiFi Thermostat with
Remote Sensor, available at all shopping
websites.
4. What is the
function of the ecobee3?
