Mr and Mrs VEGETAFRUIT

Look at the portrait of

Mr Vegetafruit and Mrs Vegetafruit , his wife .

They live in the country and not surprisingly ,

their faces are made up of both fruit and vegetables !

What you have to do is to identify the various

fruit and vegetables .

Help , please !

Words are given just under the exercises ,

but of course not in the right order ! !

Either you find the right term without any difficulty

and that is O.K for you .

Or remember that you can infer ( = deduce )

the words thanks to a few rather simple techniques :

First , mind the agreements ( + singular versus plural , for example if you read are , the subject is plural )

Secondly , try to see if the word is not approximately written in the same way as in French , it is the case for at least 5 words ( + reconnaissance par transparence : carrots n'est pas très éloigné de carottes )

Thirdly , try to eliminate those which do not fit in the context ( for instance , in the first exercise , the following sentence a hat made of orange is not likely to be correct ... )

Lastly , anticipate the logical ending of a phrase or sentence ( ... an ear of ... must not be too difficult to find out ! ) .

Good Work !

1. Younger students may like to colour the two portraits .

2. With older students , you can use the paintings by the Italian painter, Giuseppe Arcimboldo ,

( 1527 - 1593 ) to make the exercise more complex .
