Speaking and Writing (Page 97)

1. Read the following passage about tea.

India and tea are so intertwined together that life without the brew is unimaginable. Tea entered our life only in the mid-nineteenth century when the British started plantations in Assam and Darjeeling! In the beginning, though, Indians shunned the drink as they thought it was a poison that led to umpteen diseases.

Ironically, tea colonised Britain where it became a part of their social diary and also led to the establishment of numerous tea houses. Today, scientific research across the world has attempted to establish the beneficial qualities of tea—a fact, the Japanese and the Chinese knew anyway from ancient times, attributing it to numerous medicinal properties.
