Activity 25 (continues)
Activity 26

• Encourage students to discuss
how each topic is represented
in Mexico (i.e. Mexicans do not
drink that much tea. However,
herbal tea is quite commonly
drunk to cure illnesses. You
can find lots of different plants
at the market that are used as
medicine and taken in the form
of tea.).
• Tell them to answer the
questions from Activity 24 from
the Mexican perspective. The
purpose of this is to add another
culture to the analysis.

Activity 27
• Go through the example
with students.
• Ask them to link a couple of
sentences together and to use
the expressions from the chart.
• Provide several examples
if necessary.
• You can adjust the activity by
providing two sentences and
telling students to link them
with one of the expressions
from the chart.
• Allow some time for students to write several sentences comparing the cultural traditions from the essays
they selected.
• Provide help if necessary.
a. Japanese tea requires powdered tea leaves, but in the United Kingdom and in Russia they use
whole leaves.
b. The Japanese and the British drink the tea immediately. Instead, the Russians drink it throughout the day.
c. The three cultures not only drink tea, but they also have something to eat with the hot beverage.
