4.(a) Write a précis of the following passage:
"Thank God for tea! What would the world do without rea?' So said
an English humorist, and the same remark might be made by the
inhabitant of any nation in the world today.
Cocoa, coffee, and tea are the three most popular drinks in
the modern world; and of these, tea is by far the most universal
In many parts of Europe and Asia it is the constant refreshment of
the intellectual and physical labourer; and many social functions are
incomplete without it.
So far as is known, the Chinese were the first to use tea. There
are references to tea in Chinese poems of the fifth and sixth centuries.
From China it spread West through Asia and then gradually crossed
to Europe. Tea was first brought to Europe by the Dutch traders of
the sixteenth century, but it was not introduced to Britain, now the
largest consumer in the world, until 1645. At that time, it was an
aristocratic drink, and a very costly luxury.
Right up to the present day, the tea plant has remained a native
of South-East Asia. Tea, as everybody knows, consists of the prepared
leaves of a kind of bushy plant grown in these regions. These bushes
require a moderate temperature for a healthy growth. Extreme cold
impedes the growth of the plants but does not destroy them; extreme
heat is dangerous. They require plenty of moisture and so flourish
best where there is abundant rain. But water must not collect at their
roots. They therefore grow best in the hilly tracts of monsoon lands
like India and China. (250 words)​
