The diagram shows two processes for manufacturing black tea.

1.      The traditional way is used for making loose tea and the modern process is ideal for teabags.	1
2.      In both processes, natural enzymes are produced from the leaves.	5
3.      The next step is oxidation, where the enzymes from the leaves mix with the air.	6
4.      When collecting tea, the tea picker picks only the two top leaves and the bud of each plant to ensure a high quality tea.	2
5.      By this stage, little moisture remains in the tea – just three per cent.	8
6.      After that, the leaves are ready for rolling or cutting. Factories use traditional methods of rolling and crushing or faster modern methods of cutting, tearing and curling to make teabags.	4
7.      This changes the colour of the leaves from green to copper and creates a nice flavour and aroma. Finally, the leaves are fired and dried.	7
8.      Then, the tea leaves go through withering where leaves are spread out and air is passed through them to remove up to 60 per cent of their moisture.	3

Manufacturing Tea

The diagram below shows two processes for manufacturing black tea.  The traditional way is used for making loose tea and the modern process is ideal for teabags.  When collecting tea, the tea picker picks only the two top leaves and the bud of each plant to ensure a high quality tea.  Then, the tea leaves go through withering where leaves are spread out and air is passed through them to remove up to 60 per cent of their moisture.  After that, the leaves are ready for rolling or cutting. Factories use traditional methods of rolling and crushing or faster modern methods of cutting, tearing and curling to make teabags.  In both processes, natural enzymes are produced from the leaves.  The next step is oxidation, where the enzymes from the leaves mix with the air.  This changes the colour of the leaves from green to copper and creates a nice flavour and aroma. Finally, the leaves are fired and dried.  By this stage, little moisture remains in the tea – just three per cent.

Question no.14 To what extent do you agree or disagree with the author?  Explain your answer in not more than 100 words. Answer I am not a big fan of fireworks.

For millennia, fireworks have been used in celebrations around the world. The problem is many people don’t use it properly. That is not the sparkles’ fault that cause the children injured.
