The change in temperature makes the tree grow very quickly. This makes the skin thin and soft enough to eat.
The new banana is called the \cheap. One banana costs 6 dollars. Farmers don't grow many, so the price is high. They will grow more, so the price will fall. Japan imports about 99% of its bananas.

What are these important things? Exams. They spend much time on all kinds of exams at school. So many of them almost become tired. Books stop them from going for sports. Because of the pressure from teachers, students work harder and spend most of their time on books. Parents won’t stop nagging(唠叨) about the importance of good high schools.
