1. Spell the word ''Japan'' correctly.

That's interesting. When does the tea ceremony happen? Is it a family event or even friends can do it? Also, how does the ceremony end?

Sado is held throughout the year by people who are fans of sado. The ceremony ends with the practice of blowing tea and hosting guests. Sado has many rules, from holding a tea bowl to walking and sitting. Participants must remove rings or accessories so as not to hurt the bowls. Instead, people show off kimono.

1. Use the pronoun to avoid repeating ''sado''.
2. Use ''In addition'' as ''instead'' is used to introduce an alternative.
3. Use ''their'' to indicate belonging to some people.
4. Use a plural noun in keeping with the plural determiner, ''their''.

That's fascinating! The rules and rituals sound very intricate. Do people have to go through a lot of training to learn how to properly host a tea ceremony?

There are few. You follow the instructions of the person facilitating the ceremony. Yet, there are some etiquette rules regarding taking off accessories. Hold the tea bowl with both hands; wear socks in the room. Barefoot is considered to break the etiquette. The tea ceremony is similar to Zen and prioritizes Japanese spirituality as if that's listening to the sound of one hand clapping. It's hard for most modern people to understand it. What's important is enjoying time with friends and confectionary while sipping tea.
