S:Mom, where are you
M:Here. Why are you in such a hurry
S:I'm very excited and can't wait to tell you what I have learned today in Geography class.
M:What, darling
S:Tea!
M:Oh, tell me something about it.
S:My teacher said China is the earliest country to cultivate and drink tea among one hundred countries and regions around the world.
M:Really And who discovered it
S:It's said that it was discovered by the legendary ruler Shennong.
M:You mean the one, who sampled various kinds of herbs to help his people differentiate poisonous from medical plants.
S:Yes. One day, he collapsed under a tree after tasting some poisonous leaves. Fortunately, water droplets that happened to tickle down from the tree into his mouth revived him.
M:I guess that was a tea plant.
S:Brilliant! From then on, people came to know about tea, and began using it as a medicine because of its detoxifying and other healthful effects.
M:Yes. I think so. Tea is very refreshing, thirst-quenching, fragrant and delicious. And it gradually became an everyday drink.
S:Besides, our teacher also told us various of tea, such as green tea, black tea, oolong tea, scented tea......
M:Which tea do you recommend
S:Hum......look at the size of you. Mom, to be true, slim tea is good for you.
兒子:老媽,您在哪裡?
媽媽:在這裡。你為什麼這麼匆忙?
兒子:我好興奮且迫不及待告訴您今天在地理課學的。
媽媽:親愛的,是什麼?
兒子:茶!
媽媽:喔,來跟我說說吧!
兒子:我們老師說,在世界上一百個國家和地區中,中國是最早有種茶和喝茶文化
的國家。
媽媽:真的嗎?是誰發現的呢?
兒子:據說是神農氏。
媽媽:你說是那一個嚐百草,讓人民知道百草用途的人。
兒子:是。有一天,他因為嚐了有毒的葉子而倒臥在樹下,幸運的是樹上的水滴落
在他嘴裡,救了他。
媽媽:我猜那就是茶樹。
兒子:真棒!從那時開始,人們開始認識了茶,而且因為茶有去毒和其他健康的效
果,開始使用它來當藥物。
媽媽:沒錯。茶會令人精神振奮,解渴有香氣,而且味美,所以逐漸變成日常飲
品。
兒子:而且,老師還介紹了不同茶品,例如:綠茶、紅茶、烏龍茶、香片……
媽媽:你覺得哪一種茶適合我?
兒子:嗯……,老媽,看您的身材,我覺得應該是減肥茶。
