Hello, and welcome to Six Minute English.
I'm Alice.
And I'm Neil.
Er...
Alice, what's this?
It's a cup of tea, Neil.
Would you like some?
Oh, I can't drink that.
You didn't let the tea brew for long enough.
Oh.
And you forgot to add sugar.
Well, make it yourself next time.
And when you brew a cup of tea, by the way,
you add boiling water to tea leaves or a tea bag and allow the flavour to develop.
I'm sorry, Alice.
I didn't mean to be rude about your tea.
But I do like it very strong and sweet.
Tea is the subject of today's show.
