3A Unit 9
What
‟
s in a name?
Picture this! Someone offers you a cup of something, and says,
„
try this
‟
You
‟
re never seen this liquid before, and you don
‟
t recognize it.
Do you drink it straight away? I don
‟
t think so! Do you taste it
immediately? Probably not.
Before you put the cup of your lips, you probably ask,
‘
What is
it?
’
or,
‘
What does it taste like?
’
Now,
imagine
a
reply
like
this:
‘
Actually,
it
‟
s
a
solution
of
organic chemicals and inorganic salts.
’
Would you taste the drink now
?
Of course not!
‘
I always avoid
chemicals in food and drink,
’
you
‟
d say.
‘
I never touch anything
unnatural!
’
Quite right! We
‟
d all say the same thing.
Names
are
very
powerful.
But
just
think!
We
eat
and
drink
‘
chemicals
’
all
the
time.
Even
pure
water
is
a
chemical.
It
‟
s
made of hydrogen and oxygen.
Let
‟
s
go
back
to
the
liquid
in
your
cup.
Taste
is!
It
‟
s
good
for
you!
‘
Mmm, it tastes good! Mmm! Please can I have another cup?
What is it?
’
Well, funnily enough, by another name, it
‟
s just
‘
a cup of tea
’
.
