Task 1

.Read the article about the history of coffee drinking and circle the correct answer, a, b or c.

Time for coffee

The story of coffee drinking is one of the greatest and most fascinating in history. Millions of

coffee drinkers worldwide cannot imagine life without a cup of aromatic coffee in the morning.

Coffee is a natural stimulant which makes us feel more awake, alert and ready to concentrate.

The qualities of mocca, as coffee was once known, were first discovered in Ethiopia more than

one thousand years ago. However, it was not Africans but Turks and Arabs who actively

encouraged coffee drinking. The habit of coffee drinking quickly spread throughout the Arab

world, where coffee won a reputation as the wine of Islam.

Coffee was first grown in Yemen. It was popular with Turks who served the drink to visiting

Italian merchants. In 1615 traders from Venice brought coffee to Europe, where it was originally

sold as a medicine. By the end of the sixteenth century coffee was drunk in major European

cities from Paris to London.

Now, around the world there are different methods of preparing coffee, for example, in Turkey

coffee is traditionally boiled three times while Italians are the inventors of espresso and

cappuccino.

We

drink

coffee

because

of

its

aroma,

taste

and

stimulating

effect.

However,

extensive

consumption of coffee may be harmful to our health; for instance, it may increase one's blood

pressure or make one's heart beat irregularly.

Fortunately, new brands of coffee have been appearing on the market recently. As they do not

contain substances harmful to health, many people will not have to give up their coffee-drinking

habits.
