The story of Coca-Cola

A popular beverage that is sold all over the world is Coca-Cola. A doctor who lived in Atlanta, Georgia, invented it in 1886. Dr. John Pembertoin, who was also a pharmacist, first sold Coca-Cola as a nerve tonic, stimulant, and headache medicine. The name of the dark brown syrup that made people feel better was " Pemberton's French Wine Coca." Later someone addded soda water to the syrup and it became the beverage that is our modern Coca-Cola. The first part of the name (coca) comes from cocaine, which was one of the original ingredients. The second part of the name (cola) comes from kola nut, which is still an ingredient. The original formula has changed over the years. Of course Coca-Cola no longer contains cocaine, which is an illegal drug, but it still taste delicious. The formula for Coca-Cola is a secret that is carefully guarded.

My Love-Hate Relationship with Camping

There are two reasons I love and hate camping. First of all, living outdoors for a few days refreshes my mind and renews my spirit. After I have spent a few days in nature, I feel free and happy again. Second camping brings my family closer together because everyone helps plan the trip, set up the campsite and prepare the meals. On the other hand, sometimes I hate camping. The first reason is I don't sleep well. I hate to sleep on the ground because the ground is hard. When I get up in the morning, I can hardly move. My back hurts and my muscles ache. The second reason I hate camping is that we always forget something important. We forgot to bring out tent last year, so we had to sleep in the open. I didn't sleep at all because I am afraid of snakes and bugs. If I see a snake or bug, I am frozen with fear. Why do I continue to go camping when I have such a love-hate relationships with it?
