Nur's English Mark

I have a cousin, her name is Nur. She had an English test yesterday. The questions were very difficult, but she thought she could answer all the question. Because she had studied hard before the English test, she believed she could. She gave the result. Hopefully, she got excellent mark. She got 10, so she felt very happy. But she was not arogant because of her good mark. She was lucky, for some her classmates didn't got good mark.

TEA

    All around the world, people drink tea. But tea doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries, people have very different ideas about drinking tea. In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of day, at home, or in a tea house. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.

    Tea is also salient in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea, called a tea ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes. Another tea drinking country is England. In England in the  afternoon is 'tea time'. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in teapot and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies an little sandwiches at tea time.

    In the US people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually have tea in teapots. In the summer, many Americans drink cold tea, called 'iced tea'. They sometimes drink iced tea wuth gain, like soda.
