Ladies and gentlemen，It’s my great honor to be here to make a speech. My topic is “Chinese tea culture”.

大家好，很荣幸站在这里为大家发表演讲。我演讲的主题是——“中国茶文化”。

Do you know the name of the three most famous drinks in the world? They are tea, coffee and cocoa. China is the homeland of tea which has become the national drink. In other words, tea is basically spread out from china. Referring to Chinese tea culture, it has several thousand years of history and can be traced back to the ancient times. Then it was flourished in the tang dynasty and the song dynasty.

你知道世界上三种最著名的饮料的名字吗？它们是茶、咖啡和可可。中国是茶的故乡，茶已成为中国的国饮。换句话说，茶叶基本上都是从中国传来的。中国茶文化有几千年的历史，可以追溯到古代。到了唐宋时期，它就开始兴盛起来了。

In China, the main kinds of tea are green tea, black tea, oolong tea, scented tea, white tea, yellow tea and dark tea. In the early days, the Chinese boiled their tea leaves with water and other ingredients such as salt and ginger; later they ground the dried leaves to a powder and whipped them up with hot water. Today, we make different tea in different ways. Over the centuries, China had good tea culture, comparable with the wine culture of the west.

在中国，茶叶的主要品种有绿茶、红茶、乌龙茶、花茶、白茶、黄茶和黑茶。早期，中国人用水和盐、姜等其他成分煮茶叶；后来，他们把干茶叶磨成粉末，用热水搅拌。现在，我们用不同的方法沏茶。几个世纪以来，中国一直有一种好的茶文化，可与西方的酒文化相媲美。

In conclusion, Chinese tea culture is important. That's all. Thank you for your listening.

总之，中国的茶文化是重要的。
