There are about 7,500 apple varieties in the world. While 2,500 of those varieties are being grown in the United States, the Gala, Fuji, and Honeycrisp varieties occupy American market. Instead of sticking to the familiar, here are other delicious apples to try this fall. These special fruits will be the apple of your eye.

Cosmic Crisp

A cross between Honeycrisp and Enterprise, the Cosmic Crisp takes the best qualities of both of these apples and combines them into a delicious and juicy apple. It’s perfect eaten plain, but when used in an apple pie, it maintains its firmness, making it a great apple for baking.

Swee Tango

The Swee Tango, as a cross between a Honeycrisp and a Zestar apple, takes on flavors of honey and a bit of orange. Usually in apple recipes, other materials are added to improve the apple flavor, but the Swee Tango stands strong on its own. So it’s the perfect apple for apple -centric dishes such as apple pie, and even baked apples.

Ginger Gold

With a golden -green color, the Ginger Gold apple is pretty mild in flavor with a bit of ginger as mentioned in its name. This variety is fully grown a bit earlier than most other apples with their season

beginning as early as August. So, if you’re eager for fall, then the Ginger Gold is the perfect apple to start baking your favorite fall treats.

RubyFrost

Grown classically as one of American varieties, the RubyFrost allows apple lovers the chance to enjoy

this sweet fruit through the winter months. Not only can the RubyFrost stand a bit of cold weather, they reach their finest flavor during the winter months, making it a great, late season apple. 1．What do Cosmic Crisp and Swee Tango have in common?

When Faith Wanjiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year, she immediately enrolled (注册) at the Confucius Institute in Kenyatta University. She wanted to learn Chinese, as she believed that it would help her have a good job.

She has just completed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non -native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.

However, this level isn’t enough for Wanjiku, who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level of Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isn’t alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.

Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently, middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective language test in the country’s national college entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.

In May, Zambia became the fourth country in Africa -after Kenya, Uganda and South Africa—to introduce Chinese language to its schools.

And many English -speaking countries have shown an interest in allowing their students to learn Chinese. The US government announced the launch of “1 Million Strong” in 2015, a plan that aims to bring the total number of learners of Chinese to l million by 2020.

Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language learning is the international community’s positive attitude toward Chinas future development, as well as the people’s longing to learn about Chinese civilization
