GREEN TEA


Green Tea

A There are over 2,000 different kinds of tea in the world. This huge number of teas can be divided into five categories: green tea, black tea, white tea, oolong tea and herbal tea. All these types of tea come from the same plant, camellia sinensis. Different teas are made by doing different things to the leaves of the camellia sinensis plant.

B A variety of tea that has recently grown in popularity worldwide is green tea. There are several reasons why green tea have become popular.It has less caffeine than black tea and has a nicer flavor. But the most likely reason green tea has increased in popularity is the fact that many people think that drinking green tea is good for your health.

C Green tea was first drunk in China more than 4,000 years ago and it still enjoys popularity there today. There are many different kinds of green tea in China. Each province, or area, of China produces different kinds of teas. The most famous Chinese tea, called Longjing tea, comes from Zhejiang Province. Fujian Province is also famous for growing tea. This areaof China has a very good climate for growing tea and there are many famous kinds of tea that come from there.

D China isn't the only country to have tea drinking traditions. Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and many other Asian countries produce and drink green tea and have done so for thousands of years. Japan has an especially rich green tea culture. Like China, there are different areas of Japan that are famous for different kinds of tea. Some people think the best Japanese green tea comes from the Yame region.

E People have felt for a long time that green tea has positive effects on our health. Recently, many studies have been done to try to prove these claims. These studies have shown that green tea can reduce heart disease, some kinds of cancer and improve brain functioning. But these studies have only been done on animals. There have also been many studies on green tea's effects of humans. Scientists have studied green tea's effect on weight loss, cancer, heart disease, Parkinson's disease and glaucoma. The results of these studies have shown that green tea might help in treating or preventing these diseases. More research needs to be done to prove completely that green tea can or can't help in treating these diseases.

F Whether you believe that it can cure all your ills or not, green tea is very popular now and will most likely continue to be popular in the future.

ICE CREAM


Ice Cream
ICE CREAM
A Ice cream is one of the most popular desserts in the world. Over four billion gallons (15.1 billion liters) are consumed each year, worldwide. Although many people enjoy this frozen dessert, not too many people know its history.

B Eating frozen sweets started about two thousand years ago. In ancient Italy, Persia and China, ice (or sometimes snow) was mixed with fruit or fruit juice. In ancient Rome, the Emperor Nero had snow brought down from the mountains and mixed with fruit.

C Arabs were the first people to add milk to frozen desserts. Instead of fruit juice, they added sugar as a sweetener. But sugar wasn’t the only thing added. They also added dried fruits and nuts. As early as 1,000 years ago ice cream could be found in Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo.

D Much later, in the sixteenth century, the rulers of ancient India used horsemen to bring ice down from the mountains to make sorbets. Also during this time a famous Italian duchess, Catherine de Medici brought ice cream to France. A hundred years later, in the seventeenth century, ice cream could be found in England.

E After this time, ice cream and ice cream recipes were mentioned in books. One of the earliest ice cream recipes appeared in a cookbook from 1718. The Oxford English Dictionary claims that the first mention of the phrase “ice cream” was in a magazine that was published in the year 1744.

F About one hundred years later, in the 1870’s, a German engineer invented something that would later help make ice cream available worldwide. This invention was the freezer. Later still, in 1926, an improvedmethod of freezing was invented. This is when ice cream started to spread all over the world because it could be more easily made and transported.

G These days there are many companies that sell ice cream and the number of different flavors available is well over 1,000. Frozen desserts have been around for a long time and will most likely be enjoyed well into the future.
