You love eating fruits, don’t you? So do I. I often eat fruit salad which I make myself, to meet my body’s
vitamin needs.
It’s very easy to make fruit salad. We only need fruits which we like, such as a red apple and grapes
which are sweet enough, a pear, banana, and dragon fruit. We also need original yogurt. We can add
grated cheese to make our fruit salad more delicious and juicy. We need a sharp knife to cut the fruits,
cutting board, and grater.
Let me tell you how to make it. First, prepare the fruits and tools that we need. Second, wash the
apple, pear, and grapes. Remember, clean the tools before using them. After that, cut the apple, pear,
dragon fruit, and banana diced, and the grapes halved. Put all of the fruits into a bowl and add yogurt
sufficiently. Add enough grated cheese if you like. Enjoy the fruit salad directly, or you can keep the
salad in a fridge for a while.

I love apple salad. Let me tell you how to make it. I hope you try to make it at home.
Let’s prepare the ingredients. We need one to twenty oz can of pineapple chunks, two

quarts of redskinned apples, chopped, two cups of green seedless grapes, cut in half, one and a
half cups of pecans, toasted, one cup of celery and a half cup of fresh parsley, chopped. We
also need a half stick of butter, a quarter cup of sugar, one tablespoon of lemon juice, two
tablespoons of cornstarch and one cup of mayonnaise for dressing. This is the way to make it.
First, clean and drain the pineapple, reserve the juice and set the chunks aside. Then, prepare
the dressing. In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, butter, sugar, and lemon juice
and bring to boil over medium heat. Next, in a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and enough
water to make a smooth mixture; add to the boiling juice. Reduce heat and cook until the
mixture is thick and smooth. Chill. After that, whisk in the mayonnaise. Well, this can be done
in advance. Now, place the pineapple chunks and the rest of the salad ingredients in a large
bowl. Toss well, and then mix in the chilled dressing. Enjoy the dish.

EXERCISE

Activity 3

Read the text and answer the questions that follow.
I often eat snacks while studying or simply reading a newspaper or magazine. Occasionally, I

make snacks on my own, such as crispy oyster mushrooms, fried friench fries, fried bananas, or
fried tempeh. Mom always provides the materials in a refrigerator, so I can cook myself.

This time I’d like to share how to make crispy oyster mushrooms. I like making the snacks
since the ingredients and steps are simple. You can try yourself at home.

First, prepare the ingredients, i.e. one hundred grams of oyster mushrooms, two hundreds
and fifty grams of rice flour, salt, coriander, cooking oil, and a clove of garlic. We also need
boiled water to make batter and paper towels to drain the snacks.

Now, wash the oyster mushrooms, tear them into bite-sized pieces, and drain. Then, wash
the garlic and grind it well with a little salt and coriander. After that, pour the rice flour into a
bowl, add enough boiled water and the ground spices. Mix well, but not too watery. Next, dip
the oyster mushrooms into the batter and coat them well.

After that, heat the cooking oil on a frying pan. Deep fry the coated mushrooms until golden
brown and drain on the paper towels. Follow this step for all coated mushrooms. Serve the
crispy mushrooms on a plate and enjoy. I usually eat these crispy mushrooms with chili sauce.

QUESTIONS

1. When does the writer usually enjoy crispy oyster mushrooms?
2. Why does the writer like cooking crispy oyster mushrooms?
3. What do you think the rice flour is for?
4. What does the writer need paper towels for?
5. What will probably happen if the mushrooms are raw, not coated

with rice flour?

chopper.

The Structure of Manual :
