It can be said that tea is the most popular drink in the world, apart from just plain water. Even the word for “tea” in many languages around the world comes from different changes of the Chinese word “茶”.

Chinese tea can be classified into 5 kinds. Green tea is perhaps the most natural, with no fermentation (发酵) of the leaves. Longjing, Maofeng and Biluochun are the most famous varieties. Black tea, known in China as red tea, is fermented before being baked. This is the kind of tea most commonly drunk in the West. Wulong tea is a variety half way between green and black teas, being made after partial fermentation. It is a specialty (特产) from southeast China, particularly Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan. Compressed tea are teas that have been, of course, compressed and hardened into a certain shape. These are often called brick tea. We will learn a bit about this when we visit Inner Mongolia. Finally, we have flower tea. This kind of tea is made by adding flowers or other fragrances in with the tea. Jasmine (茉莉花) tea is perhaps the most famous.

Tea has been one of the daily necessities in China for thousands of years, and has spread to be enjoyed by people around the world.

When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore she should be addressed(写姓名地址) as Mrs. Sohn. President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.

In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.

Mexican naming customs are different as well, When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de (of). This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.

Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name, Remember that in many Asian cultures , the order of first and last names is reversed(颠倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use . If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.
