Caption (2) This is my second entry about the picture's caption. Initally, one of my friends mentioned the Chinese tea several days ago, and then we discussed our tea-drinking experiences. It reminded me of the incomplete set of tea things that I have from my father. As you see, it's one of the decorations on my dining table. I haven't learned tea ceremory, yet I more or less have had the basic knowlege influenced by my father. Nowadays, in Taiwan we often buy drinks at beverage stores or convenience stores. Only when we camp, we have a chance to brew up and get together for some chitchat. I presume even if we have a chance to sit down and have a leisurable drink, everyone here would be a phubber and doesn't talk to others a lot. I somewhat miss the period when many of my father's friends visited and chatted around a big wood table for brewing up and communicate directly. In the corner of the tray, there is a "day lily," a sympol of mother's flower in Chinese culture, that my son gave me as a present this month. Moreover, those writing brushes are used on Chinese calligraghy. It's a pity that there are seldom formal calligraph classes in an elementary school. The final thing is my work with torn paper instructed by a friend as a teacher. In addition of this article, I would like to refer a viedo for my friends about Taiwan's beverage store and among other things if you're interested in realizing Taiwan's local culture. I think this video is funny and informative. Just leave a message, my friends.

Thanks to the suggestions out of my friend's courtesy,  I decide to correct the essay once more. After this, I'll focus on other aspects of learning in English. So maybe it was my last essay during the period of time.

 

Caption (2) Tea and Friends

This is my second entry about the picture's caption. I would mention some things in the picture I offer on the writing page, such as tea utensils, a day lily, Calligraghy brushes, and a piece of my art work.

 

Initally, my friend and I chatted about the Chinese tea and discussed our own tea-drinking habits. It reminded me of the tea set which my father gave me as a gift. As you see below, it's one of the decorations on my dining table. I never learned tea ceremory, but I more or less have been influenced by my father.

Nowadays, in Taiwan we often buy drinks at beverage stores or convenience stores. I presume even if we have a chance to sit down and have a drink casually, everyone here would be a phubber and doesn't talk to others a lot. As for us, we are able to brew up and drink the Chinese tea only when we camp.  I somewhat miss the period in which many of my father's friends around a big wood table  drank the Chinese tea while chatting.

In the corner of the tea tray, there is a "day lily," a sympol of mother's flower, that my son gave me as a Mother's Day present. Moreover, those hanging brushes are used to write Chinese calligraghy. It's a pity that there are barely formal calligraphy lessons in elementary school. The last thing I would like to mention is a piece of work that was made of  torn paper. A teaching friend taugh us how to use colorful paper that was torn into varied shapes to form a picture.

 

Additionally, I would like to refer a viedo link to friends about the beverage stores in Taiwan. I think this video is funny. If you're interested in knowing  the local culture, just leave me a message.
