Describe an important plant in your country (such as fruits, flowers or vegetables)

　　【真题解析】

　　Plant的话题出现在part 2当中是一道彻底的新题。但根据()内提示，这个plant可以说fruits, flowers, vegetables 等等任何植物，其实flowers 的话题在part 1中是曾经出现过的，所以准备过flower的同学完全可以把part 1准备的内容拿到part 2来继续用。

　　其实这道题并不难，如果你说的是一种fruit，除了基本的外形特点描述，以及为什么喜欢这种水果，还可以说一点水果中丰富的维生素及营养，多吃它有什么好处，并与健康饮食相结合来说。如果想说flower，可以说说这种花有什么特殊的象征意义，一般人种这种花或者送这种花的目的是什么，什么样的场合适宜送这种花，或者说这个花对你有什么特殊意思，看到这种花想到了什么人什么事。如果想描述一个vegetable，可以和cooking做结合，这种蔬菜有什么营养成分，适合做什么菜，人吃了又什么好处，能力强的同学还可以简单描述下做这道菜的过程。

　　简单来说就是一道物品题，适用于物品题的解题技巧，看到这个plant想起那些人，地，事来了。

　　【Sample Answer】

　　Well, speaking of an important plant in my country, I suppose I'd like to talk about a significant flower called Jasmine. It is a kind of small and white flower which gives off a rich and pleasant perfume. You know, without any showy sharp or color like pony and rose, the Jasmine blossom is small and plain. Despite of that, the fragrance is curiously heavy and persistent, and that is probably the reason why so many people would like to grow this flower in their gardens. What's more, it represents the everlasting and faithful love. So, young people also prefer sending jasmines to their boyfriends or girlfriends to express their love.

　　I am pretty fond of Jasmine not only because its fresh perfume, but also it is the city flower of my hometown Yangzhou, which is well-known for its typical Southern Chinese river-side scenery featured by small bridges, murmuring streams and elegant dwellings. The impression of the whole city is just like jasmine, small but exquisite. What's more, in summer, the whole city is filled with fragrance of jasmine. So, this kind of gorgeous landscape and the fresh perfume will always linger in your mind if you have ever travelled to this city.

　　In addition, Jasmine is not only the symbol of the single city or district at present, it also symbolize China, the whole nation. In 2008, Beijing Olympic Games, on behalf of Chinese traditional culture, the folk song named Jasmine was broadcast in the opening ceremony. As the media of cultural communication, I guess most international friends will be reminded of the fabulous opening ceremony and Chinese civilization as soon as they hear the song.
