"A cup of tea" is perfectly normal and acceptable. Adding the word "nice" merely embellishes the sentence and gives it an air of cordiality but isn't strictly necessary at all. In fact, as an American, I would find an invitation to come over to your house for a "nice" cup of tea to sound a bit old fashioned or stodgy.
0 votedJuly 24, 20130- 对我是IT男 我是一名来自硅谷的IT男。如今美国的IT行业越来越繁荣而且社会也越来越能接受像我一样的"书呆子"。但很多人永远轻看我们。他嫌IT男太内向,没有沟通能力,等等。其实我刚毕业之前我真没打算我会做技术的。当时我在一家投资银行做实习。每个周会上至少100小时的班。更没意思的是我在办公室里经常也没有什么活儿能干。忙的时候非常忙。不忙的时候只能在那里坐。闷死我了。虽然我获得了正式职位邀请但我早就决定拒绝了。我不怕刻苦但我特别怕没有意义的。与其把我自己的精力投入到这些那么空虚的事业不如成立我自己的公司而为社会用技术来创造一点点的价值。所以我就是一个IT男。我也是一个创业者。我偶尔却有点内向。有时候我却不想说话。我不怕你的歧视 :) 我不知中国人会对IT男有什么印象。我估计跟美国差不多对不对?July 18, 2013210
Awful Monday 黑色周一
我是个懒鬼,超过一个世纪没有写英语(有点夸张),以后我都会在这里记录下我的点点滴滴,希望大家能帮我进步。
星期一交通通常都比较拥堵,今天也一样,可是我今天乘坐的公交车却没有平常那么拥挤,因为它不是站站停。我站在靠门口的地方,在我周围的是两个妇女和一个年轻男人在我右边,我感觉有人在碰我臀部,我刚开始以为是我背后的妇女不小心碰到,可以有点奇怪,我移动了我的位置还是碰到,我觉得我移开以后,我们之间有很大的空隙,所以我决定回头看看到底是怎么回事?我右边男人的手放在我的臀部附近,我当是很生气,我很大声的问:你在干什么(我当时在听音乐,我的声音可能很大)?他一副不以为然的样子说:没有什么啊?我更加生气,一边骂他:贱人,一边给了他一拳(其实我很怕他也打我,我觉得我不是他的对手)。他还叫我注意你的语言,然后周边的妇女叫的算了,不要紧。可能对于他们来说不要紧,可是这已经不是第一次了,每次发生这样的事情我都不敢吭声,因为我胆怯。但是现在我觉得正式我的胆怯助涨了他们的嚣张,如果他们在第一次骚扰别人的时候,我们就严厉的反击,我相信,他们肯定不会/也不敢做第二次,在中国,发生这样的事情,女孩子会觉得不好意思,也不敢告诉别人,他们觉得没有面子,而且人们通常都会指责女性,你们觉得公平吗?谁给了他们这样的权利去骚扰女性还有正当理由,如果有下次(希望不要有),我会毫不犹豫的掰断他的指头。这样的事情经常发生在你们的国家吗?如果是你,你会怎么做,请告诉我!!一个朋友告诉我应该去学习功夫:)
English Version
My Awful Monday
I am a lazy ass who have not written my an English notebook entry for more than one centuryin over a century (1) (exaggerated,a figure of speech). From now on (2), I will definitely use Italki to record every piece of my life. Hopefully, I can make a lot of improvement improve faster with your help and my effort.
Today’s traffic jam is usually serious as serious as on Mondays and today was the same. I was on an uncrowded commute bus to work though since it doesn't stop by every station. I was standing near the bus door with one woman on my left, another behind me, and a man on my right. I sensed there was something teaching touching my butt which I initially thought it was a purse from the woman behind me, So I moved forward to save create some space between us . B, but it seemed to not make sense surprisngly, I still sensed that way I still felt something. So, I finally turned back and checked out what it was going on. I was really pissed when I found out there was a hand touching me from the guy on my right,. I shouted out angrily, “what the hell are you doing?”(I was listening to music ,so my voice was probablely probably really high loud). He cheekly replied, "nothin, I did nothing!" I punched threw him a fist as I abused him called him a fucking douchebag.(Actually, I was pretty nervous because I was sure I could not beat him in a fight).---------
1) Most people would say "in eons" or "in ages" if they wanted to emphasize how long it's been. "in centuries" is fine too but usually not in "over a century"
2) Saw this in the Chinese version and added it. Don't try to 逃避 :)
Sorry to hear about your story! What a douchebag. Hopefully this correction cheers you up.

Thorough consideration and hesitation are quite different. Thorough consideration helps you to make a more effective plan while hesitation causes you to miss a good chance opportunity. Once you hesitate about a decision or hesitate to make the next movement move, time will pass fair judgement and you are destined to be a loser. Be a cautious but not a hesitant person,. Only then can you hug the victory flowers.

Waiting
A kind of mood
Anxious or leisurely
Happy or sad
Waiting
a selection
You choose the torture of time
You choose the solitary expectation
You choose the unbeknown unknown come-off resolution
You choose the thick solitude
Waiting,
A trial
Time being the measurement
Which tests your energy
And challenges your confidence and heart
Waiting
Spares time for compromise
Leaves space for meditation for each other
Dawn appears in waiting
Injures Injuries gradually alleviate
During your waiting
Hearts
Become brittle or much stronger
In waiting,
To daze comes to be a habit
Fantasy walks towards you before you know it
Waiting,
For the wise,
Is a sweet burden
Sow the seeds of your dream
Expecting a garden full of flowers in bloom in waiting
Waiting
For the lazy
Is absolutely a torture
And momentary safety before time adjudges the come-off decides the outcome
Waiting
A landscape,
Charming or gloomy
It has got the color and flavor of its own.0 votedMarch 14, 20130
