Answer:

1.- 3 sentences. The dash after the words "– slowly, evenly," breaks up the sections of the poem.

2. The commands: "Drink your tea", "Live the actual moment."

3. "Live the actual moment," refers to actual as "real", meaning that you must live the real moment, and not live in fantasies. "Live IN the actual moment," refers to "actual" as "current", meaning that you must live this exact moment.

A commonly used phrase used on inspirational posters is "Live IN the actual moment," since it is very popular to encourage people to enjoy every single day.

4. "Only this moment is life" can be a summary of the poem.

5. To forget about worries and live.

Explanation:

1. The poem has 3 sentences since the first lines convey a single idea together, then we have the last two sentences that are divided by a period. The dash before "slowly, evenly," divide the first parts of the poem, since its an extra idea.

2. "Drink" and "live" are considered commands.

3. The ideas between both phrases: "Live the actual moment," and "Live IN the actual moment," are similar. However, the preposition "in" changes the meaning of the verb.

4. "Only this moment is life" is the summary of the poem since it contains the main idea.

5. It describes the choice of living and forget everything else.
