Compare your ideas. Do you agree?
II)         Reading :
1)   Read the article : Weird fruit and veg
Greengrocer Charlie Hicks looks at some of the unusual fruit and vegetables you can buy in supermarkets today.
Purple carrots
Did you know that people in the past didn't eat carrots because they didn't taste good? They used them for medicine, and they were white, purple, red, yellow or black. People only grew the first orange carrots about 500 years ago. Now  supermarkets sell carrots with purple or yellow skins, but they’re still orange inside. I don't see the point. Close your eyes and it’s a carrot.
Strawmatoes
lt’s a silly name but I like strawmatoes. lt’s not a strawberry mixed with a tomato because you can't do that. It's just a different type of tomato. They’re nice and sweet so you can put them in desserts.
Low_carb potatoes
These are special potatoes that are very low in carbohydrates, so they’re good for you if you're on a diet. Again, what’s the point? I’d rather have normal potatoes. If you don't want to eat carbohydrates, have some lettuce.
Square watermelons
I don't like these. l think they’re silly. The Japanese first made square watermelons in about 2001, because round watermelons are difficult to keep in fridges. You can buy them in a few supermarkets these days. No fruit or vegetable is naturally square. I eat a lot of watermelon and l prefer a nice, round one.
Red bananas
l eat a lot of these too. l like them because they’re very sweet. Go and buy some, but eat them quickly because they’re only good for a few days.
