When people refer to the Chinese tea culture today they won’t miss an important person in the Chinese history—Lu Yu, who was respected as a “Sage of Tea（茶圣）” for his contribution to the Chinese tea culture. He is best known for his book The Classic of Tea, the first work on growing, making and drinking tea.

Lu was born in 733 A.D.in Tianmen, Hubei. As a child, he studied under the guidance of Zou Fuzi. Lu Yu often made tea for his teacher. He also took care of fellow students’ health using his rich knowledge on tea and herbs（草药）that he learned.

Lu Yu often went to the countryside to gather tea leaves and herbs. On one of those trips, Lu Yu came across a spring, whose water was quite clear and clean. When Lu Yu made tea with this spring water, he found the tea tasted better than usual. From then on, Lu Yu realized the importance of water quality in making tea.

This period was important for Lu Yu as a man of literature and a period for him to practice and sharpen what he learned from his teacher. Cui Guofu, with his rich experience and skills in literary work, became a coach that provided the necessary help with Lu Yu’s writing and literary skills.

There is an old saying that all of us are born with two bags hung on our necks. A small bag in front of our chest is filled up with other people’s faults（缺点）,while the big one at the back is full of our own shortcomings（短处）.

This makes it easy to find other people’s faults, but hard to see our own faults behind us.

There was a boy named Tommy. He had four friends: Simon, Jack, Johnny and Harry. Tommy always opened the front bag to cheek what was in it. He saw other people’s faults very quickly. When Simon was impatient with him, he said to Simon. It’s so easy for you to get angry. It is hard to be friends with you.”

Later that day, Tommy told his mother about Jack’s dishonesty（不诚实）.“Jack took my things without asking. He also forgot to return them.” Tommy himself did not like sharing his things with anyone. When Johnny was too tired to play with him, he said, “You are such a rude（粗鲁的）person.” He thought Harry was too proud of his rich parents. But Tommy was just proud of himself because he could not see any of his own shortcomings! He could not understand why he did not get on well with others. If only Tommy would tur the bags around, he would discover his own impatience, dishonesty, bad manners and vanity（虚荣）. They were no better than that of Simon, Jack, Johnny or Harry.

五、书面表达

The study trip is a kind of school education which is held outside and popular with students. Our school has also held many study trips. Here are my experiences.

Firstly, we went to pick tea in person and made things by hand to experience life. Secondly, we got close to nature and learned more knowledge by watching real plants and animals. Then, after we visited museums as well as places of interest. we understood Chinese history and culture more deeply. Finally, we saw some meaningful movies and felt the great changes of our country.

In my opinion, the study trip is very helpful for us and we will be able to have more chances to take part in these kinds of activities.
