Bubble tea may not be healthy – level 1

Bubble tea may not be healthy

03-11-2025 07:00

Bubble tea is a drink from Taiwan. It has tea, milk, sugar, and small balls. The balls are called tapioca pearls.

People love bubble tea because it is sweet and looks nice. Many young people drink it and post photos online. But doctors say that it is not very healthy. It has too much sugar. Sugar can make you fat or sick. Some people feel pain in the stomach. The small balls can block the throat and make it hard to breathe. This is dangerous for kids.

Bubble tea is good sometimes, but not every day. It is better to drink water when you are thirsty.

Difficult words: tapioca (a small soft ball from a plant), healthy (good for the body), throat (the inside of your neck).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
