我们先来看下具体题目内容：

　　Describe a plant or vegetable in your country (new)

　　You should say:

　　What it is

　　Where it grows

　　How you know it

　　And explain why it is important in your country.

　　这道题目是一道典型的物品类题目，可以按照5W1H（what 什么植物； where 在哪里生长的；How 我怎么知道这个植物；why 为什么它很重要； How 我对这个植物的感受） 来描述。

　　今天，我们就以荷花为例，给大家解析这个题目：

　　开门见山：

　　The important plant I’d like to share with you is Chinese lotus which is a kind of plant with white and pink flowers that grow on the surface of the lakes .

　　重要性：

　　Finally I would like to explain why it’s important in our country. Well firstly It has special meanings in our culture representing honesty, integrity and purity. For example, in ancient China, Lots of poets use Chinese lotus as a metaphor of person who dares to speak one’s mind to pursue his dream.

　　And another point I would add is that locus leaves are the key ingredients of various cuisines/dishes, among which the most famous I’d say is roast chicken wrapped with lotus leaves. And it’s absolutely scrumptious because of the tantalizing/tempting fragrance/ aroma of the leaves.

　　As well as that, lotus seed has medical values and the leave of it is a key herb in traditional Chinese medicine.
