My friend Sally and I decided to write down our resolutions together. We planned to set our alarm clocks an hour early so that we could finish the things on the list (清单).

The next morning, when I went into the kitchen at 5:45, my dad was so surprised to see me. He said, “Wow, who are you, and where is my sleep-loving daughter?”

“Sally and I need more time to keep our New Year’s resolutions,” I said, “So, from now on, I’m going to wake up early. And, look, I already did resolution No.1!” I showed my new hairstyle (发型) to my dad happily.

When having lunch at school, Sally and I sat together and ate the food on the list. Eric saw us and asked, “What are you eating? Does it taste good?” Sally took the list out and said, “Resolution No. 2 says our lunch has to be healthy, not necessarily delicious.”

One day passed, we did all the things on the list, tired but happy. Sally said, “If we want to do everything on the list better, we’ll have to wake up even earlier.” Then we agreed to set our alarm clocks half an hour earlier.

However, by Friday, we felt it was hard to keep them. That afternoon, Sally and I made a new resolution list. It was shorter and simpler.

So if you want to make resolutions, remember; keep it simple!

Tea, coffee and cocoa are three major drinks all over the world. Tea is drunk by the largest number of people in the world. Tea, as well as silk and porcelain, began to be known by the world over a thousand years ago and has been an important Chinese export since then.

Tea has a history of over 4,000 years and China is the home of tea. In ancient China, tea was used as a kind of medicine, while nowadays people drink tea daily.

Longjing, Pu’er, Wulong and Tieguanyin are all famous tea. Thanks to the climate and soil in Fujian, Zhejiang and Yunnan, tea is produced mainly in these provinces.

The word for tea in different languages came from Chinese, like ‘cha’i’ in Russian. And the Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese.

Now, tea culture is a part of Chinese culture, which includes tea planting, tea leaf picking, tea making, tea drinking and so on. Tea is also popular in some sayings, like “A friendship between gentlemen is like a cup of tea.” In dances, songs, poems and novels, tea is often mentioned, too.
