經典背誦 Recitation
Customer: I am a newspaper columnist and I love coffee. So I spend most of my daytime in a coffeehouse where I can enjoy good coffee and also do my writing. Well, my favorite coffee is Irish coffee but I do drink other coffee, too. When I'm alone at home, I just drink the instant coffee which is really convenient. For me, coffee means more than a simple drink.

Starbucks

Starbucks Corporation was founded in 1985. The origins of Starbucks reach back to 1971, when the Starbucks Coffee Company was founded by three students in Seattle. The Company is committed to offering the highest quality coffee, meanwhile, Starbucks is not only a coffeehouse, but offers a unique experience. Maybe that's why Starbucks Corporation had great success in the USA and the number of stores increased rapidly. Nowadays they have even more stores in the United States than McDonald's.

星巴克

星巴克公司成立于1985年，而它的起源要追溯到1971年，當時有三個學生在西雅圖成立了一個星巴克咖啡公司。公司主要致力于提供最高品質的咖啡，與此同時，星巴克不只是一個普通的咖啡廳，而是承諾要奉獻一種特有的體驗。可能這就是為什么星巴克可以在美國取得巨大的成功，而且分店數目迅速擴增的原因。現在它在美國的分店數目已經超過了麥當勞。

Instant Coffee

Instant coffee is drunk all over the world, largely because its simplicity of use compared to other forms of coffee making. No time is required for infusing the instant coffee- it is ready as soon as the hot water is added. Moreover, instant coffee is also convenient for preparing iced coffee, which is popular in hot seasons. Ironically, instant coffee is the only form of coffee available in certain coffee exporting countries.

速溶咖啡

全世界的人都在喝速溶咖啡，主要因為跟其他咖啡制作相比，沖速溶咖啡非常簡單。沖一杯速溶咖啡根本就不需要花時間——只要加熱水就可以喝了。而且用速溶咖啡制作冰咖啡也很方便，這在天熱的季節里非常流行。具有諷刺意味的是，速溶咖啡竟然是一些咖啡出口國家里唯一能夠找到的咖啡產品。
