Dear Tom,
Hi! You said you’re curious about Chinese inventions. Let me tell you about tea—one of the greatest inventions in China!
Tea was invented by accident about 5,000 years ago. A Chinese ruler named Shen Nong first discovered it as a drink when tea leaves fell into his boiling water. Later, Lu Yu, “the sage of tea”, wrote a book called Cha Jing to introduce tea culture. Today, tea is drunk all over the world. It’s not only a popular drink but also a symbol of Chinese culture. I often drink tea with my family—it helps us relax.
Do you like tea? Have you tried any Chinese tea? Write back soon!
Yours,
Li Hua

亲爱的汤姆:
嗨!你说你对中国发明很好奇,让我给你讲讲茶——中国最伟大的发明之一!
茶是约5000年前偶然发明的。一位名叫神农的中国统治者,当茶叶掉进他煮沸的水里时,首次发现茶可以作为饮品。后来,“茶圣”陆羽写了一本名为《茶经》的书介绍茶文化。如今,茶在全世界都很受欢迎,它不仅是一种流行饮品,更是中国文化的象征。我经常和家人一起喝茶——它能帮助我们放松。
你喜欢茶吗?你喝过中国茶吗?尽快回信呀!
你的,
李华
