Today I am going to share the homework correction quoted from my JLPT course!
The student’s sentence is not correct. Can you find the mistake?

 

[Student’s sentence]

お客さんにお茶を作ってください。

*おきゃくさんにおちゃをつくってください。

[My correction]

お客さんにお茶を作ってください。
→お客さんにお茶をいれてください。
Please make tea for the customer.

 

お茶を作る involves starting from scratch, growing and preparing tea leaves, and brewing them to make tea, while お茶をいれる is a simpler and quicker way to make tea by just putting a tea bag or tea leaves in hot water.

 

e.g.
お茶をいれましたよ。どうぞ。
I’ve made some tea for you. Please enjoy.

これは京都(きょうと)で作(つく)られたお茶です。
This tea is produced/made in Kyoto.

コーヒーでもいれましょうか。
Would you like me to make you some coffee?

コロンビアではいろいろな種類(しゅるい)のコーヒーが作られています。
Various types of coffee are produced in Colombia.

 

I hope my explanation helps you.😊
