Frank | I used to have long hair and look really thin. And I was kind of serious, too. But now I have short blond hair and I'm of medium build. I've become more outgoing and I like to smile a lot. The only problem is that I have to wear glasses because I watch too much TV. |
Cindy | Do you think I'm a smart and nice girl? But I used to be kind of fat because I exercised little and ate lots of junk food. Now I usually do more sports every day and I hardly eat junk food. I used to be active, but now I'm a little serious. Maybe that's because I always have too much stress from my school! |
Peter | You can't imagine how much I've changed these years. I used to play online games, but now I like exercising. And soccer is my favorite sport. I used to hate all my subjects, but now I'm one of the top students in my class. I used to eat so much junk food and get sick easily, but now I only like healthy food. |
Helen | I used to be too shy to speak in public. So I had few close friends. But now I love talking and many true friends are around me. I used to be afraid of the dark, but now I'm brave enough to stay at home alone for a week. If you'd like to change yourself, ask me! |

Once upon a time there was no tea at all in England. People there used to drink a light beer. No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer stood on the breakfast table.
When tea was first brought to England, an old couple got some as a special treat. But they do not know how it should be used. They cooked the leaves in hot water, and spread them on a piece of bacon (熏肉) which they were going to have for dinner. They ate the leaves, and threw the tea away! However, tea is becoming as popular as coffee and milk in England today.
Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows widely in China, Japan and some other countries. Tea farmers usually grow many tea plants on a large piece of land. When the leaves are ready to be picked, it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year. They pull off the leaves and dry them. In their spare time, they pick out the best leaves and get them ready for market. In China, whenever a visitor comes into house, he is served with a cup of tea.
