What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

📖 Reading Passage – My Favourite Fruit 
My favourite fruit is the mango. People call it the king of fruits in our country. Mangoes are sweet and juicy. We enjoy eating them in the hot summer months. Mango trees are tall and have long green leaves. When mangoes are not ripe, they are green and hard. We call them raw mangoes. My mother uses raw mangoes to make yummy pickles and cool drinks. When mangoes become ripe, their colour changes. Some turn yellow, some turn orange, and some turn red. Ripe mangoes are soft and smell very nice. They taste delicious! There are many kinds of mangoes. Some are big, and some are small. We can eat mangoes in different ways. Some people cut them into slices. Others like to make mango juice or mango milkshake. Mangoes are good for health. They have vitamins that keep our body fit and help our eyes to see better.
