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.
In my opinion, it is quite difficult to find a job for me and other young people of my age. Unfortunately the legislation states that we are not yet of age to get a paid job. However, if you are a hard-working energetic type, and you can dedicate your time to go out there and ask people for work, you might be lucky. Many of my friends were successful, but you need to have a certain personality to achieve results. As we are all yet unskilled workers we can do only the basic jobs, such as promotion and maybe client coordination. Before getting any part-time job you need to have a clear understanding of your abilities; you have to be careful and responsible with your job as people are going to see you as an honest and reliable person, which means you can't say you'll do it and then disappepear due to the change of plans. If you're trying to get a position that involves speaking to clients, you need to be friendly, patient and polite; the communcative approach is very important there. In fact, you need to show a certain level of intelligence as well, as usually you will be dealing with adult clientelle. There are plenty of websites and newspapers where you can look for job openings, but I think that the best way is to pick a company you would like to work for and ask them directly. That's what I did last summer and even though I had to wait for the answer I finally got the job assisting in the admin department. Such job won't get you a lot of money, but earning a small sum of your own is always a delight
