     A. The olive tree is an evergreen tree. It grows in the Mediterranean, Asia and

Africa. The tree is not very high, not more than 8–10 metres. The olive trees

are great survivors. They can resist droughts and diseases and live up to a

great age. Many olive trees in the Mediterranean are said to be hundreds of

years old. The older the olive tree, the broader its trunk becomes.

     B. Olives are very rich in minerals and vitamins A, E, K and B. Even in

Ancient Rome women applied olive oil to their skin and hair to make them

look fresh and healthy. Nowadays olive oil is a popular ingredient in skin

care products too. A lot of famous cosmetic brands use it as a base ingredient

for creams, lotions and shampoos.

    C. In general, the olive tree is associated with long life, wealth, glory and peace.

In ancient Greece, the branches of the olive tree were used to crown

the champions of the Olympic Games. It was considered to be a great award

– the olive leaves meant victory and triumph. This tradition was revived

during the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, in 2004

     D. Olives are one of the world's most widely enjoyed foods. Besides providing

energy, they have a lot of anti-oxidants, minerals, and vitamins, primarily

vitamin E. Olives also play a vital role fighting against cancer, heart

diseases, nerve diseases, diabetes and many others illnesses. Recent studies

have proved that regular consumption of olive oil can help to avoid stomach

and blood pressure problems.

     E. Besides eating them right out of the jar, there are lots of ways to add olives

to your everyday meal plan. You can add them to pasta, meat and fish

dishes. They are also great in stews, salads and all types of snacks. Their

sweet, sour, salty, bitter and spicy flavors are complex. And this makes

olives a favourite ingredient for any chef.

     F. You can understand whether the olives are ripe or not from their colour.

Green olives are not ripe yet. When they get ripe, they become black. Both

green and black olives are great food. Green olives are usually picked, in

September and October. Black olives are picked in November and

December. Traditionally, picking olives is done by hand.

     G. When an experienced cook eats an olive, he can say a lot about the tree it

came from. The taste of the olive can give information about the region and

climate, where the tree is grown and about the time of the harvest. For

example, the popular Kalamata olives come from southern Greece. They

have a rich fruity flavour.

                                                                                                                              14 points
