Afternoon tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. In England, you usually drink tea with milk.

Looking at the tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports began only one century ago, but some trees give information about the weather even further back.It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate(气候) with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also known that little sunlight or rainfall would affect(影响) the growth of a tree. You can tell the change from a favorable (宜人的) to an unfavorable climate by reading the pattern(样式) of rings in a tree trunk. To find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree trunk. You can see from the other rings that if the rings are close together, the climate was bad for the tree. So if not, it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather appeared.Studying a tree is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In a place of Mexico, you can find only sand----no trees and no people. However, many centuries ago, a large population lived there. They left suddenly.
