台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that alters the way a person's brain functions. Their effects are usually temporary, but they can include headaches and problems with your memory, balance, and coordination. They often occur from a blow to the head, but they can also happen from a strike anywhere else due to the head and upper body being violently shaken from the force.
