Passage 1

All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries people have different ideas about drinking tea.

In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at home or in the tea house. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.

Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony. It is very old and full of meaning. Everying must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special room for if in Japanese homes.

Another tea-drink country is England. In England, the late afternoon is "tea-time". Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a tea-pot and drink it with cream and sugar. They also eat cakes, cookies, and little sandwiches at times.

Passage 2

Many Chinese students who have already learnt English more than ten years are still unable to speak English properly and fluently when they encounter a foreigner.

They have been able to master the basic language structure and many other things rammatically, but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid other people might laugh at their mistakes or they think those to whom they are speaking might not understand them.

It is not uncommon that many students, who are bad speakers of English, write beautiful and fluent English. This proves perfectly that they do have the ability to organize their ideas in English. The problem is that they do not have enough practice and confidence. Maybe they are afaid of speaking English openly.

The best way out, as a result, would be a bit more confidence and practice. No one would laugh at you even though you make some mistakes for they understand English is a foreign language to you. Don't care too much about the small mistakes you may make in your conversation because you can correct them easily if you practice enough. But you do have to take great care to make people understand what you are trying to say. If you keep practicing English all the time, you will surely find that talking with a native speaker is not at all difficult.
