Oranges are one of the most eaten fruits around the world. They are round citrus fruits with finely-textured skins that are, of course, orange in colour just like their pulpy flesh. Juicy and sweet and known for their concentration of vitamin C, oranges make the perfect snack and add a special flavour to many recipes. Orange juice is an integral part of breakfast. - POPULAR FRUITKINDS OF ORANGESEXPANSION OF ORANGESFRUIT FOR ALLHOW TO CHOOSE ORANGESHOW TO PREPARE ORANGESHEALTHY FRUITORANGE MARMALADE

Oranges are classified into two general categories – sweet and bitter – with the former being the type most commonly consumed. Popular varieties of the sweet orange include Valencia, Novel and Jaffa oranges, as well as the blood orange, a hybrid species that is smaller in size, more aromatic in flavour and has red hues running through its flesh. Bitter oranges are often
used to make jam or marmalade. - POPULAR FRUITKINDS OF ORANGESEXPANSION OF ORANGESFRUIT FOR ALLHOW TO CHOOSE ORANGESHOW TO PREPARE ORANGESHEALTHY FRUITORANGE MARMALADE

Sweet oranges were introduced to Europe in around the 15th century by the Moors and the Portuguese as well as by the Italian traders and explorers.

California in the 18th century. - POPULAR FRUITKINDS OF ORANGESEXPANSION OF ORANGESFRUIT FOR ALLHOW TO CHOOSE ORANGESHOW TO PREPARE ORANGESHEALTHY FRUITORANGE MARMALADE

Before the 20th century, oranges were very expensive and therefore they were not regularly consumed, but rather eaten on special holiday such as Christmas. After more efficient means of transportation and food processors had been invented to develop methods for using by-products, the price of oranges dropped, and they could be bought by people even with limited means as they are today. - POPULAR FRUITKINDS OF ORANGESEXPANSION OF ORANGESFRUIT FOR ALLHOW TO CHOOSE ORANGESHOW TO PREPARE ORANGESHEALTHY FRUITORANGE MARMALADE

Oranges do not necessarily have to have a bright orange colour to be good. In fact, the uniform colour may be due to injection of an artificial dye. Being partially green or having brown spots, oranges may be just as ripe and tasty as those that are solid orange in colour. Buy oranges that have smoothly textured skin and are firm and heavy for their size. - POPULAR FRUITKINDS OF ORANGESEXPANSION OF ORANGESFRUIT FOR ALLHOW TO CHOOSE ORANGESHOW TO PREPARE ORANGESHEALTHY FRUITORANGE MARMALADE

Thin-skinned oranges can be easily peeled with your fingers. For the thicker-skinned varieties make four cuts from top to bottom and peel away these sections of skin, or starting at the top, peel the orange in a spiral fashion. Before cutting the orange in half, wash the skin so that any dirt or bacteria from the surface will not be transferred to the fruit. - POPULAR FRUITKINDS OF ORANGESEXPANSION OF ORANGESFRUIT FOR ALLHOW TO CHOOSE ORANGESHOW TO PREPARE ORANGESHEALTHY FRUITORANGE MARMALADE

I'm a 24-year-old business student from Malaysia and I've been going to English classes at night school for the past 5 years. Up to now I've thought that I'm a good student. Last month I went to Britain. Nobody could understand me and I couldn't understand them. What went wrong? My English teacher is very good and I always get the highest mark for my grammar test. - EXAMINATION RESULTSSTUDYING WITH OR WITHOUT A TEACHERMAKING IT EASIER TO UNDERSTANDENGLISH PEOPLE'S MISTAKESPROBLEMS WITH TEACHING METHODSCOMMUNICATION PROBLEMS

I'm writing to ask your opinion on my problem. My English teacher never corrects my mistakes when I'm speaking. Isn't that her job? How am I going to learn to speak better? Also she's always telling me that I should forget all the rules of grammar that I learnt when I was younger. - EXAMINATION RESULTSSTUDYING WITH OR WITHOUT A TEACHERMAKING IT EASIER TO UNDERSTANDENGLISH PEOPLE'S MISTAKESPROBLEMS WITH TEACHING METHODSCOMMUNICATION PROBLEMS

I am looking after two small English children. I love my job but the way that English people speak is a little surprising. For example, I often hear them say things like 'more friendlier', and I thought it should be 'more friendly'. Many of them say 'we was' instead of 'we were'. Can you explain this? Would it be impolite of me to correct them? - EXAMINATION RESULTSSTUDYING WITH OR WITHOUT A TEACHERMAKING IT EASIER TO UNDERSTANDENGLISH PEOPLE'S MISTAKESPROBLEMS WITH TEACHING METHODSCOMMUNICATION PROBLEMS

I have been studying English for three years. I'm quite good at reading and writing but listening is very difficult for me. My teacher suggested that I listen to the BBC World Service every day in order to understand English better. The problem is that it's hard for me to understand every word. Do you have any ideas about how to make listening to the radio less difficult? I like to listen to news very much. - EXAMINATION RESULTSSTUDYING WITH OR WITHOUT A TEACHERMAKING IT EASIER TO UNDERSTANDENGLISH PEOPLE'S MISTAKESPROBLEMS WITH TEACHING METHODSCOMMUNICATION PROBLEMS

I have studied English for five years at school but for the past six months I have been using the Internet and books to learn. There are lots of materials to choose but I'm not sure what is best for me and how I should use them. I really would like to take some international examination but don't know how to study without help. Should I take a course in my local school – which is a little expensive for me now – or is it possible to prepare for the exam on my own? - EXAMINATION RESULTSSTUDYING WITH OR WITHOUT A TEACHERMAKING IT EASIER TO UNDERSTANDENGLISH PEOPLE'S MISTAKESPROBLEMS WITH TEACHING METHODSCOMMUNICATION PROBLEMS
