China is home to tea and has a long history of tea culture. As time goes by, the tea culture has developed greatly.
In the Tang Dynasty, people not only drank tea, but also ate the tea leaves. That was why tasting tea was called “tea-eating”. In the Song Dynasty, the way people drank tea became romantic and was full of art. In the Ming Dynasty, tasting tea returned to its true nature of “drinking tea”. People put dry tea leaves in the cup and then poured boiled water into it before drinking. And in the Qing Dynasty, the tea culture finally came into common families. Drinking tea became part of their daily life. At the same time, there were more tea houses.
Nowadays, making tea around a stove (围炉煮茶) has become popular among young people. This is a special way of drinking tea.

Away from their busy work and life, they feel calm and peaceful in mind.
In fact people began to make tea around a stove in ancient times. Traditionally, about the art of making tea, the most important part is the types of tea, water quality, the control of fire, the choices of tea tools, and the skills of brewing (沏茶).

There’s a story about the California Gold Rush (淘金热) that tells of two brothers who sold all they had and went to look for gold. They discovered a vein (矿脉) of gold, bought it and got down to the serious business of getting the gold out of the mine (矿). All they hoped was to make lots of money and change their lives.
All went well at first, but then a strange thing happened. The vein of gold disappeared! They tried hard but they couldn’t find any gold.
Finally, they gave up sadly. They sold their tools and rights to dig the mine for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home. Later a man named Tim who bought the gold mine ordered an engineer to examine (查) the mine carefully. The engineer advised him to continue digging in the same place where the two brothers had left off. To his surprise, the new owner found gold at three feet deeper of the same place. With a little more patience, the two brothers would have been millionaires themselves.

Middle School Life in My Eyes
In my eyes, middle school life is full of challenges. Challenges helped me grow and discover my potential.
Last year, I joined an English speech contest. At first, I was too nervous to speak fluently. My teacher encouraged me to practice daily. I recorded my speech, fixed mistakes, and practiced in front of classmates. Finally, I won third place!
From this, I learned that challenges are opportunities. Even if things seem hard, effort and courage can turn them into success. Middle school taught me to embrace challenges bravely.
