Hello, teachers.
Are the following sentences correct?
I think "during that time" may sound strage.

If you wastefully keep the light on for one hour a day, the total time in a year amounts to 365 hours. It means you waste great amount of energy during that time.


Thank you in advance!

The expressions "during that time" and "during that period" and correct.

He lived in the States for one year and during that time he improved his English.
