May 21, 2020 marks the first International Tea Day (ITD). It (name) by the UN on Nov 21, 2019. ITD is more than about (celebrate) the delicious drink. It also (try) to improve the working conditions of the farmers and workers. It makes the public know the (important) of tea all over the world.
Tea is the world's second (popular) drink (after water). Drinking tea can bring many (health) benefits (益处). Now tea is loved by millions from China to England, from India to Afghanistan—each culture with its own tradition.
Tea was discovered in 2727 BC in China. When the ruler Shen Nong (boil) water over an open fire, some (leaf) from a tea plant fell into the water. Shen Nong then fell in love with the drink that followed, and that is how tea became a common drink in Chinese culture. Dinking tea is a centuries-old tradition in the UK. There's tea for breakfast, tea during break time, tea when visiting a (friend) house, tea to wake up, tea (relax)… you get the idea. For Indians, tea is also a huge part of daily life.
Help yourself to some tea when you are free. Maybe, you will fall in love with it, too.
