| Dear reporter, I work for a big international(国际的) company. I love my job because I can travel to a lot of different countries. My problem is that it usually takes me about three days to get used to(习惯于) the local time(当地时间). During those days, I have some meetings, but I’m always very tired and it’s difficult to think clearly. When I just get used to the local time, I have to fly back home. Can you give me any advice?
