Tea is the Most Popular Drink in Britain Everyone knows that tea is the most popular drink in Britain. It's even more popular than coffee, which is favoured throughout Europe and America. The Dutch brought the first tea to Europe in 1610. But it was not until 1658 that the first advertisement for tea appeared in a London newspaper. At that time a pound of the cheapest tea cost about one-third of a skilled worker's weekly wages. Tea was guarded by the lady of the house and kept in special containers, often with a lock and carefully doled out by the teaspoon. By 1750 tea had become the principal drink of all the classes in Britain. Later, tea-drinking developed into a fashionable social ritual. Tea parties were popular at home and soon the ritual of "afternoon tea" was firmly established. Nowadays, throughout the homes, tea shops and hotels of Britain, the custom of tea-time continues. Tea in Britain is brewed in a teapot. Then the one spoonful of tea per person and one for the pot is added. Most people in Britain prefer a rich, strong cup of tea with milk, and sugar is sometimes added to taste.
I. Harry (woke) early on Saturday morning and (lay) for a while thinking about the coming match. He (has been) nervous since Monday, mainly at the thought of what Wood (would say) if the team (lost). He had never (wanted) to beat Slytherin so badly. He (got) up, (dressed), and (went) down to breakfast early, where he (found) the rest of the team. They (were sitting) at the long, empty table. Nobody (was talking). II. A week later, Harry, Snape and Ron (were walking) across the Entrance Hall when they (saw) a small knot of people who (had gathered) around the notice-board and (were reading) a piece of parchment that had just (been pinned up). "They (are starting) a Duelling Club!", (said) Ron. "First meeting tonight! I do not (mind) duelling lessons, they (might) come in handy one of these days. Shall we (go)?" Harry and Snape (were) all for it, so at eight o'clock that evening they (hurried) back to the Great Hall. "I wonder who (will teach) us? I hope it (will be) Frederick," said Snape.
