I always had a nice cup of tea every morning in my country in Indonesia.It gave me a great feeling in the morning.So when I arrived in the early morning for the first time at Sydney airport，the first thing that I looked for was a coffee shop.Finally，I found a nice coffee shop with many

people queuing(排队) to order.I jumped into the queue.I thought that I had better English than before because I had recently learnt English at IALF.Then a very friendly girl asked me if she could help me.I said that I would like to have a cup of tea.The she asked me what kind of tea I would like to order black or white tea？I thought she was making a morning joke with me.Then I

said “red tea，please.”With a very unfriendly face she asked me again，“Black or white tea，please？” I didn't say anything as I didn't know what actually black or white tea was.I only knew that having tea is normally with or without sugar.Then she said，“Next please.”She then asked

the next customer behind me.I realized then that I didn't understand Australian customs.One day I had a cup of tea at the University tea room and I saw a lady drinking tea with milk in it.Then I

asked her，“Can I say that you are having a white tea？”She smiled and said，“Y es，you can.”

Finally I understood that black tea is no milk added and white tea is with milk.How big is the difference of having tea between Indonesian and Australian people!
