Did you know that tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk about5, 000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler Shen Nong first discovered tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling water over an open fire. Some from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious. And so, one of the world's favorite drinks invented.
A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, “the saint of tea”, mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.
It isthat tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th. In England, tea didn't appear until around 1660, but than 100 years later, it had become the drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to speed the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture, the Chinese are doubt the ones who best understand the nature of tea.

Today, after 10 days of medical treatment, for the first time, I went out alone to meet a motherly lady who I had met during my stay in a program. She had been unwell recently and I lived alone. Her sons live in foreign countries.
After I called her and told about my plan to visit her, she started becoming excited and happily planning food at once. Nowadays, she has a lady cook coming by to help her but she does part of the work herself with her bandaged leg.
I reached her home alone after being guided a couple of times by her before. I carried little things (snacks, books etc.) for her. She had been waiting for some time when I arrived. We talked about different things from health to her life and mine, from past to future, from food to travel etc. During the discussion, her care for me became clear when she made warm suggestions or supported me.
During the last few months, she had struggled with health and housework. She had got over those difficulties and here she was telling me how all of us must face some problems. She had seen a few people facing worse problems in the hospital and mentioned about their cases and was grateful for her present condition which was manageable.
She wanted to gift me something—she kept thinking of a dress, watch, footwear etc. whatever was new and great in her home. I kept refusing but finally took the footwear out of politeness.
She loved the snacks I had brought and wanted to eat them with her tea. I was quite happy to see the child like interest.
While I was spending time with my motherly friend, the following thought kept coming back to me-probably this is why I have lived through the 10 days in this city. The time I spent with her seemed so much needed. I felt the deep peace it could bring to me and that brought such a big joy!

Last month I went to a summer camp in Australia. It was my first time to the country, so everything exciting to me. I met a lot of children in the summer camp.
On the day, we went to John Paul College. It's a beautiful school. The teachers were friendly to . In class, we learned a lot about Australian animals, its food and the aborigines(土著居民)of Australia. The aborigines used boomerangs(回飞镖)to catch animals . The teacher let us throwing boomerangs in the playground. It was difficult for me. I threw a boomerang in the right way, but it never came back. I didn't know why.
The next morning, we visited the Sydney Opera House. I took many photos there. After that, we went to the Paradise Country and saw many Australian animals. We koalas and kangaroos (袋鼠) there. We also watched a 4D movie and learned how to a movie at the Movie World. These were interesting.
We visited some other interesting places over the next few days. All in all, there was a lot to see in Australia. It was an trip.
