Hi,
I like the site and also your explanations. It's easy to understand.
Could you please tell me the meaning of the sentence. I see no relation between "not drink tea with sugar" and "remove the spoon". I can't get it.

Tks and b'rgds,
Linh

Hi Linh,

Many thanks for your positive feedback. As for your question, when you put sugar into your tea you normally use a spoon. Once you have put the sugar into your cup you also use the spoon to stir your tea. Now, before you drink your tea you should remove the spoon from your cup because otherwise you run the risk of hurting yourself when you put the cup to your mouth.
