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 Pemberton, 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 added soda water to the syrup, and it became the beverage that is our modern Coca-Cola. The first part of the name (coca) comes form 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 tastes delicious. The formula for Coca-Cola is a secret that is carefully guarded.

My Love-Hate Relationship whit Camping
There are two reasons I love and hate camping. The first reason I love camping is that Living outdoors for a few days refreshes my mind and renews my spirit. After I have spent a few says in nature, I feel free and happy again. The second reason is campingbrings mt family closer together, because everyone helps plan the trip, set up the camping and prepare the meals. On the other hand, sometimes I hate camping. First of all, 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 hurt and muscles ache. This second reason I hate camping is that we always forget something important. For example, we forgot to bring our tent. This happened 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 a bug, I am frozenwith fear. Why do I continue to go camping when I have such a love-hate relationship with it?
