Fruit vocabulary

This is my all time favourite fruit - the feijoa!  

They're so delicious I could eat about twenty in one go.  Feijoas come from South America - Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Colombia.  They are widely grown in New Zealand, and also can be found in Australia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, southern Russia and South Africa.

Another favourite of mine is the nectarine - 

 Yum!!  These can be yellow or white inside.  

And this fruit - 

is called kiwifruit, not kiwi.

This is a kiwi!

Or this is a Kiwi -

Tip of the Day:  Expressing Age

From Kenneth Beare, your Guide to English as 2nd Language Expressing Age We use the verb "to be" to express age in English. There are two possibilities: He is eight. OR He is eight years old. Example Sentences Tom is twenty-two. My brother is thirty-six years old. Cathy's extra tips -  Wrong Sentences Don't say - Tom is 22 years. Don't use 'have' -  She have 32.

We say "get" all the time... very useful!
