Passage 1 Colorful tea culture

江苏 史徐美子

I was involved in the activity of appreciating tea culture，which is connected with our brilliant Chinese cultures.The teacher,whose smile is sunny,told us the origin and types of tea and how tea became popular.She also told us how the ancient people drank it.I was really fascinated by the knowledge.The teacher performed elegantly and fluently,but I did in a clumsy manner while practicing.Thus,the tea I made tasted bitter,just like the balsam pear （苦瓜）.Fortunately,the lovely teacher was patient and saved me from the embarrassing situation.

This was really a fantastic and unforgettable experience,which enabled me to enjoy the charm of tea culture and fulfill my mental pursuit.
