Move over, mochaccino — Chinese tea culture is coming! If a group of senior high school students from Hangzhou get their way, the world will quite soon be drinking Chinese tea instead of coffee.
The students created a project to make Chinese tea and tea culture more popular at home and abroad.
They gave speeches on the history and traditions of Chinese tea and organised a lot of exciting activities.
In some of the activities people could taste different kinds of tea and even try picking tea leaves. The students also used the Internet to make teenagers more interested in tea culture.
The project was so successful that the students won second prize in a big international competition. Best of all, they learnt to work as a team and use their creativity.

Yesterday, I tried out for the team.
Yesterday, I tried out for my school’s cheerleading team.
I’ve always wanted to be a high school cheerleader. Yesterday, I tried out for my school’s cheerleading team. It was really hard. First, we had to dance up and down around the basketball court for 20 minutes. The teacher showed us how to move, and then we tried very hard.
Second, we practised singing a short fight song about the school basketball team. Finally, some of the stronger girls had to lift their partners. The other girls jumped very high and cheered so loudly.
I think I did quite well in the try-out, but many of the other girls were even better. I’m not so sure whether I’ll make the cheerleading team this year or not.
