不加动词和没加动词有什么不一样？不可以加动词，可以加是，还可以加形容词（adjective）,但是，没只有加动词和形容词两个，不可以加是，不能说没是。
我们今天只看不加动词和没加动词。不加动词是说现在和将来now and future，没加动词是说以前、过去，是past.
我们看两个句子：
1. 今年我没去旅游。
2.今年我不去旅游。
现在是十二月，今年已经过去了，我可能说“今年我没去旅游。”
现在是一月，今年才刚刚开始，我可能说“我没有钱，今年我不去旅游。”
再看两个句子：
3.我太太今天没来学校。
4.我太太今天不来学校。
你的同事看见你，问你，你太太在办公室吗？我要给她一个东西。这时候你说“我太太今天没来学校。”她没来，所以她不在学校，也不在办公室。
你的同事看见你，问你，你太太几点来学校？你说“我太太今天不来学校。”你太太今天没有课，她不来，她现在不来，十二点不来，下午也不来。
好，现在你是不是明白不加动词和没加动词有什么不一样了，我们来做一些练习试试吧。

What's the difference between "不” and “没”？

It might sound like the worst start to your day — you get into the shower, and it's ice cold. But while you might not enjoy it, a cold shower could actually be good for your health.

Spending time in cold water is not a new idea — the Ancient Greeks used cold water as a form of therapy as early as 3,500 BC. And things like cold water swims and ice baths have become quite popular around the world.

Experts believe there are a few reasons cold showers could be good for us.

Corey Simon, a doctor at Duke School of Medicine in the US, told CNN that having one or two cold showers a week helps him be more mentally present.

He believes the reason for this is that he has to mentally prepare himself for something stressful: the cold water. But once he's in it, he feels like he's in control of that stressor.

In fact, a 2022 study found that participants who showered for a minute in 10- to 14-degree water every day for two weeks had lower stress levels than a control group.

Cold showers could also be good for our immune system. In a study done in the Netherlands in 2016, people who spent 30 to 90 seconds in a cold shower took 29% fewer sick days from work.

Cold water has also been found to improve circulation, and can reduce muscle pain after a workout. Research suggests that taking a cold shower often could increase your metabolism too.

But experts say it's important to speak to your doctor before taking cold showers often, because it could be dangerous — especially for those with certain conditions, like heart or circulatory problems.

People in Britain have a unique sense of humour. For lots of foreigners, it's difficult to understand and confusing. But British people are fiercely proud of their sense of humour, and the UK has produced some of the world's best comedies. In this episode, we take a look at what makes Brits laugh, and tell a few jokes along the way.
