Coffee is one of the most popular in the world. Like tea, it is said to have healthy benefits. It can help wake us up and keep up going. Coffee drinking, however, is much
than tea drinking.
Legend (as written in the 17th century) tells a story which happened in the 9th . A person named Kaldi found that animals and people could become more active after eating coffee berries. Slowly, more and
people began to learn about the coffee bean. So more coffee plants were needed and grown. Today Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world. Its neighbor Colombia
the third largest producer. The second largest producer is Vietnam. The fourth and
largest producers are Indonesia and India. Coffee plants are grown in 70 countries around the
which produce 8 million tons of coffee each
.
Almost 25 million people make a living by coffee plants. Every year 500 billion cups of coffee are
around the world. That is about 80 cups a year per human being! Coffee is truly a worldwide drink.
Moblogging is done just for fun too. On some posted moblogs you can find photos of friends making funny faces, photos from people and photos of new babies. Other fun moblogs might be spotting famous people, pictures of food in restaurants, or new clothes.
However, moblogs can be dangerous, too. Not long ago in Korea, a woman’s dog made a mess on the train, but she to clean it up, became angry, and left. Her picture was taken and posted on the Internet,
the story of what she did. People all around the country were angry with her. Imagine how she felt!
Moblogging can be wonderful, but it is really impolite to post another person’s picture on the Internet without asking for permission. One idea from Japan may help: people can no longer take pictures with their cell phones, Japanese cell phones “click” like a real camera when you take a picture.
