At first, only people {#blank#}1{#/blank#}England spoke English. Later, people from England {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (voyage)to other parts of the world and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}that, English began to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (speak) in many other countrieas. Today, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}people speak English as their{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, second or foreign language than ever before. Native English speakers can understand each other {#blank#}7{#/blank#}they don't speak {#blank#}8{#/blank#}same kind of English. All languages change when {#blank#}9{#/blank#} communicate with one another. So there are British English, American English, Australian English and so on. They all have their own identity. Maybe one day Chinese English{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (become) one of the world Englishes.

    If you study abroad, it's necessary to mix with the locals. This allows you{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(test) your language skills and find out more about the local culture. Having lived abroad for three years, I'm able to put forward a list of tips to help you make friends in a foreign country.

    Firstly, say yes to everything within reason. Obviously, if you don't feel {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ease, you can choose not to do anything. However, don't put off trying something new. The group of students from your class who invite you out for a coffee might end up {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) your friends for life!

    Secondly, develop a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (entire) new hobby. Join a dance class, a walking club or learn to cook the local food—the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(possibility) are endless!

    Thirdly, get out of the house! Hours {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(spend) on the computer chatting with your family back at home surely make you even homesick. Just get out and explore the exciting place you live in.

    Lastly, be {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(confidence) when you are surrounded by people speaking {#blank#}8{#/blank#} unfamiliar language. Even if you may find {#blank#}9{#/blank#} difficult to involve yourself in conversations, you should try to make your voice heard. Once you open your mouth and begin to speak, it's likely {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you will find everyone wants to know more about you.

    Longjing tea,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}has topped the list of the ten most famous teas in China with its color, taste and shape, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(name) after its production region一Longjing Village of West Lake. The good environment and water resources have contributed much to the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(grow) of the tea, confirming the saying that “Longjing tea is flie{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(good) among all of the teas in the world”.

    Thanks{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the tea has earned a high reputation. The story went that Emperor Qianlong visited the mountain during his Hangzhou travels, and he saw some ladies picking the tea at {#blank#}6{#/blank#} foot of the mountain. He was so interested in their movements that he decided to have a go himself.

    While{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (pick) the tea, he received the news of his mother's illness, so he carelessly put the leaves in his right sleeve and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (leave) Hangzhou for Beijing. He visited his mother{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (immediate) upon his arrival in Beijing, and his mother smelt the fragrance of the tea leaves from his sleeves and wanted to have a taste. After drinking a cup of tea, she found herself completely {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (refresh), and she even praised it as a cure for all ills. From then on, it was listed as the tribute tea.
