Example:
I think the essay A Nice Cup of Tea is about how to make tea

because of the title.

Yes, but I believe the author is talking about making tea the
British way. There are other countries that drink tea and I am sure

each has its own recipes.

• Make sure the essays you selected have cultural traditions that can be compared
with those of Mexico. Read the example.
Example:
Let’s see if we can find other essays about tea. What other

countries drink it?

Well, the Japanese perform tea ceremonies. If we look for an essay
that explains how the tea ceremony is enacted, I am sure it will talk
about etiquette and the proper way to serve tea. Etiquette is an
expression of the culture, as it varies between countries.

• Read the essays you selected.
