In 2019，the United Nations announced（宣布） May 21 to be International Tea Day，in order to remind people of tea's value（价值）.
The cultural value of tea is in old traditions and everyday habits.In China，people use top﹣grade tea when treating important guests.British people are known for their afternoon tea，while in Russia，the beautiful teapot has become a symbol of Russian culture.

To attract（吸引） more people's attention，tea companies are trying to give the old drink a new look.They use good﹣looking designs（设计） to make their tea more attractive.It seems that a cup of tea connects tradition with fashion.
Tea is also of value in keeping people healthy.Tea leaves can help lower the risk of cancer and heart disease（癌症和心脏病）.What's more，tea keeps our mind clear.But doctors advise that we should not drink too much tea，or we might not fall asleep at night.
