British and Chinese culture share a love for fine tea. Today we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups when we think of Western tea culture.
Afternoon tea
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the English ate two main meals each day--- breakfast and supper. So people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna, the English lady, came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o’clock. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates were used. Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
Will you come for coffee?
Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words “Will you come for coffee?” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Usually several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee, and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not be offered wine at a “coffee” party.
Coffeehouse and the London Stock Exchange

“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” said by the US president John F. Kennedy in 1961.
Mark Zuckerberg, who first built up the social networking site Facebook, must agree with Kennedy. The 26-year-old American recently donated $100 million (670 million yuan) to the public schools in New Jersey, US.

Greetings such as “Have you checked your Facebook page today?” and “Do your ‘friends’ know what you ate for breakfast?” became a part of American life. Now Facebook is the most popular site in the world with 500 million users. If Facebook were a country, it would be the world’s third largest.
“I could have never imagined all of the ways people would use Facebook when we were getting started six years ago.” Zuckerberg wrote in a recent blog.
The Social Network, a movie based on Zuckerberg’s story, came out last month. It has become one of the popular films of the year.

arrive on time. Americans will probably be 15 minutes early. Englishmen will be 13 minutes late, and you should allow an hour for the Italians.
The British seemed to think people would understand what they do since the English language was widely used in the world. However, they found they were wrong. For example, the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters and have a drink during the meal. The Japanese prefer not to work while eating. Lunch is a time for them to relax and they don’t drink at lunchtime. The Germans like to talk business before dinner. The French like to eat first and then talk.

Every mother is great, so is my mother. My mother is a common worker. She is tall and of medium build. She has two big eyes. Her hair is black and curly. I think she is very beautiful.
My mother is hard-working. Whenever she is at home or at work, she is always busy. On weekends, she often cleans our house and she likes planting flowers, too. She often says, “Flowers can make the air fresh and keep the house beautiful.” She often gives flowers to her friends.
She is strict in my study. She says, “Study is the most important thing to a student. Study hard, then you can do more and better for others and yourself.” And she is also kind to me. When I have trouble, I’d like to ask her for help.
