雅思口語；高頻話題Fruits這麼說準沒錯兒

最近熱火的中國版《深夜食堂》掀起網絡熱議，一經播出，豆瓣分數持續走低，天朝網友紛紛吐槽導演對中國深夜美食可能是不是有什麼誤會?

很多人並沒有從中感受到深夜食堂應帶來的味蕾上的刺激與享受，但其實，除美食不可辜負外，水果也是我們生活中必不可少的一項。如果生日男盆友給你來這麼一束，我想，沒有幾個女孩能控幾住記幾吧~

說了半天，小編帶大家侃侃最近考試中常出現的高頻話題"Fruits"。很多同學反映說這個話題在生活中非常熟悉，但是一到考場上，頭腦中蹦出來的詞無外乎是"apple", "pear","peach"或者"delicious"...那麼到底如何玩轉這個話題，說出的東西讓考官“耳”前爲之一亮呢?

Pomegranate 石榴——外皮兒是微紅色的，厚，不可食用;可食用的是裏面的籽兒，而且籽兒長得也比較特殊，是那種像水包起來的果肉 (The reddish skin is thick and inedible, but there are hundreds of edible (可食用的) seeds inside; Each seed has a surrounding water-laden pulp)

Why do we eat MORE fruits?

從小，爸爸媽媽沒少說：多吃蔬菜水果--有益健康。水果們酸酸甜甜的口感(sweet and sour)不僅能滿足你的味蕾 (satisfy your taste buds)，也藏着身體最需要的各種能量。

榴蓮--durian

If you've ever smelled a durian even once, you probably remember it.

Regarded by many people in Southeast Asia as the notorious "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, strong odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk.

The fruit's flesh is sometimes eaten raw, or is cooked and used to flavour a number of dishes and candies.

Some people regard the durian as having a pleasantly sweet fragrance; others find the aroma overpowering with an unpleasant odour.It smells like shit and tastes like farts...and gym socks. The smells evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust.

For whatever reason, people continue to be drawn to durian.

To durian lovers, the taste is mildly sweet, almondy and very creamy, not unlike a rich cheesecake. It has a whiff of alcohol about it, which explains why eating it gives you this hot feeling inside--like you've downed a shot of vodka.

You either hate it, or you love it. Intensely.
