SODA
What kinds of American sodas are found in your country? What
is your favorite flavor of soda?
Which word is a noun? Carbonated or Carbonation? What do you
think the big word "carbonation" has to do with soda?
The U.S.A is famous around the world for sodas---bubbly (carbonated)
water with sweeteners and flavors added. Sodas are sold in
cans and plastic and glass bottles. Soda, or pop as it is
sometimes called in different parts of the USA, is not expensive
to make at home.
First,
you take a bottle of carbonated water or seltzer water. Then
you add a flavor and sweetener of your choice. One popular
flavor is vanilla which makes a "cream soda". A thick mixture
of sweetener and flavoring called a "syrup" can be added to
seltzer to make your own soda. Stir the syrup and seltzer
well and remember to cap the bottle after you are done. This
keeps the bubbles (carbonation) in the soda.
