Yesterday, I went to the cinema to watch a movie called “Once Upon a Time†which was adapted from a famous novel. A few months ago, the TV show has achieved a huge success. Because I read novels and watched TV show, I had high hopes for this movie. After watching, I thought the TV show is more interesting than the movie version. The story of the movie version was so messy and the actors’ acting skill was so bad. This movie’s theme is fantasy, so film producer put a lot of money on special effects which are so westernized. But the story was happened in ancient China, I couldn’t enjoy in this movie. If let me comment this movie with a word, that is good-looking actors.

How to make green tea, Charlotte style. 
Making tea is something that I do every day.
At first I prepare a glass and put the tea in it and then take the glass to the water machine which can fill up the glass.

How to make English breakfast tea. 
There are many steps to making black tea, and there are a number of different kinds of black tea, so the process varies.

Before you can get started, you must prepare a cup, preferably made of china, a teaspoon, some sugar, preferably white, some milk, either cold or room temperature, and a teabag.

First, heat the cup using hot water, until it is warm, but not too hot to touch. While you’re heating the cup, add clean, mineral water to the kettle, and boil it. Put the teabag, and some sugar into the cup, and once the water has finished boiling, add the water to the cup, leaving space at the top for milk. Stir the sugar into the tea for up to 30 seconds, before adding a small amount of milk. Continue stirring until the milk is mixed in well. Wait 3 minutes until it is cool enough to drink.
