How to make red bubble tea











Class! Today I am going to teach you how to make a glass of red bubble tea. But I am sorry that I can't find my own-made video to show you how to make it. So how about watching a movie about how to make Blue Mountain, a cocktail? You can imitate its steps and make your own red bubble tea. .......Okay......... let's go........
My teaching plan for making red bubble tea is as follows:
Step 1
Have students watch the movie from VideoJug http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-a-blue-mountain

Step 2
Have students write down the correct steps to making Blue Mountain.
Step 3
If you can't follow what the movie says, please refer to the textversion from VideoJug.
Here comes theTextversion:
Step 1
You will need
45 ml anejo rum
15 ml vodka
15 ml Tia Maria
30 ml orange juice
1 tsp lemon juice
ice cubes
1 lemon slice
1 50/25ml measuring cup
1 cocktail shaker
1 strainer (or sieve)
1 chopping board
1 sharp knife
1 juice squeezer
1 old fashioned glass
Step 2
Prepare the cocktail
First, half fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
Add the anejo rum, vodka and Tia Maria.
Cut an orange in half and squeeze both halves. Add to the shaker.
Cut a lemon in half, give it a good squeeze directly into the shaker.
Put the lid on the shaker, give it a firm tap to secure and shake well.
Tap the shaker to loosen the lid and fit the strainer on top.
Step 3
Present your cocktail
Fill the glass almost to the top with ice and strain the cocktail into the glass.
Cut a slice of lemon, make a cut in the juicy part and put it on the side of the glass to decorate.
Serve immediately.

What is love?






Love is wonderful.








Hi,class. Do you know where love is?
One day, a student asked a teacher,"Where is love?" The teacher smiled and said,"Love is in the knowledge which I teach you. It makes you full and wonderful."
Then, the teacher asked the student,"What is love?" The student smiled and said,"Love is to do something for others. Don't always think about what others can do for me , but think about what I can do for others." The teacher said that you are great.
Now you all know where love is and what love is. Next, we are going to learn the importance of love.
Love makes the world warmer and runs more smoothly. Without love, there is always darkness, poverty, and illness. If there wasn't love among people, they would waste time hating, arguing, fighting, and even killing each other, which are meaningless.
I think that true love is giving without asking anything in return and then people can share it with each other.
There is a song"Imagine" written by John Lennom and I remember its lyrics well. It goes like this:
Imagine there is no possessions,
I wonder if you you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people,
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one
.

The song explains love excellently. If there is love, there are no wars and religious conflicts. By means of love, the world will live as one.
Don't be reluctant to give others your love. Tell people how you love them and often appreciate the good jobs the do. Tolerate the mistakes made unintentionally as much as you can.
Love is the most important thing in the world because everyone needs it. So, love yourself and others. If you do, you will be loved by them.
