今天是5月5日 星期四 晴
今天很开心。
今天上课的时候，苏告诉我，她在她的硕士（shuo4shi4, master）学习中用上了中文。苏是学心理学(xin1li3xue2)的，作为一名心理志愿者(zhi4yuan4zhe3, volunteer)去社区(she4qu1, community)服务(fu2wu4, to serve)是很重要学习内容。然后，她的服务对象(dui4xiang4, target)是一位76岁的老爷爷，而这位老爷爷是说中文的。
时间真的过的很快，不知不觉(bu4zhi1bu1jue2,unconsciouly)苏和我学习中文已经快一年了，从最开始的星期一星期二到现在能够流利的交流(jiao1liu2,to have social contact)，她真的太棒了。
苏说：老师，你知道吗？我刚到那位老爷爷家的时候，非常紧张。因为不知道自己能不能说！接着一切都很顺利，那个时候，我真的很感谢你啊！
听到这里我真的很开心，很感动(gan3dong4, move)。虽然我只是在电脑的这一边教中文，但是我可以通过让学生提高中文，然后帮助到别人。尽管（jin4guan3,even though）这个人我不认识，哪怕(na3 pa4, even)他在离我非常遥远(yao2yuan3, dictant)的地方。

International Tea Day is observed every year on May 21st and it aims to raise awareness of the long history and deep cultural and economic significance of Tea around the world. The idea is to promote and to somehow Implement activities in favour of promoting everything related to tea.

 International Tea Day has been celebrated for quite some time. It started off on December 15th in countries like India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, Indonesia and others across Africa such as Malaysia and Tanzania. The idea is to draw global attention to tea and to the global tea trade.

It has also been  linked to wanting more support to keep the cost of tea down. In 2015, the Indian Government proposed expanding the observance of International Tea today  by having some kind of intergovernmental group to discuss tea. They created something which led to big efforts to support the world's tea economy and in 2015, they had a big meeting in Milan to discuss the idea of an international Tea Day.  It then went to the United Nations. And that's how We managed to get International Tea Day on the 21st of May. Here's some very interesting facts about tea here in the UK:

The average British person drinks 876 cups of tea every single year. So, that's well over two cups a day if my calculations are right.

 And, apparently, for centuries, it was used only as a medicine. 

Tea was first introduced to Britain almost 400 years ago and was described, described as a Chinese drink because it first came from China.

A cup of tea has become native to British culture. It's the number one choice for British people and herbal teas are also very popular these days.
