My favorite fruit


I like eating fruits, and I like fresh fruits. My favorite fruits are a melon, a banana and a pineapple, especially. First, I like a melon, because a melon's taste and smell are very good. It is expensive, but I like the best. Next, I like a banana. I often have eaten it since I was child. Finally, I like a pineapple. It is very delicious. But, I don't eat them much since I started living by myself. Furthermore, I like a banana juice and a pineapple juice. I often drink. I sometimes make a fruit juice. And, I like a melon jelly and a pineapple jelly. Fruits contain a lot of vitamin C, so I want to eat a melon, a banana, a pineapple and other fruits every day.
