Describe
a
kind
of
flower
you
like.
You
should
say:
what
flower
it
is;
how
you
first
learned
about
this
flower;
where
it
grows;
and
explain
why you like this
kind of flower.
I’m not so sure about
the English name of the flower that I going to
talk
about.
It’s
pretty
small,
about
the
same
size
of
our
fingertips,
and
it
resembles the miniature
version of sunflowers. I learned about this kind
of flower when I was a kid. It’s all
over the place in summer days. Once, I
picked some and brought them home, and
my parents told me what they
were.
I
like
this
kind
of
flower
because
unlike
most
fragile
and
vulnerable
flowers
that
need
to
be
protected
and
taken
care
of
by
people,
it’s
actually pretty tough. The places where
they grow on are usually dry, and
not
suitable for any other kinds of flowers. But this
kind of flower is able
to grow well in
such harsh conditions. They are like little
soldiers keeping
their heads up, and
embracing the warm sunshine. Even so, they are
just
as beautiful and fragrant as other
kinds of flowers. That’s what I like the
most about them. What’s better, it also
has great medical value. People
in my
hometown like to collect these flowers and dry
them up, then use
them to make tea. And
the tea is believed to be able to help people stay
away from diseases. I like the tea made
by the flower a lot. It has good
smell
and taste. Once I caught a cold, I coughed a lot
and suffered from
running
nose.
My
parents
made
me
the
tea,
I
drank
it
for
a
couple
of
days
in
a
row,
and
surprisingly,
I
recovered
soon
without
taking
any
medicine or going to see
the doctor.
Describe something you do
to keep healthy.
You should
say: what you do; when and where you do it;whether
you
enjoy doing it; and explain how it
benefits your health.
-----------
I’d like to talk about jogging.
Basically I jog everyday as
long as the weather is fine. I prefer to do it one
or two hours after dinner coz it’s not
that healthy to do exercises right
after meals. And I often choose to jog
in the park, coz I think busy streets
crowded with people are not convenient
for me to jog.
As is often
the case, I take much pleasure in doing it,
especially when I
feel
kind
of
bored
after
work,
jogging
is
like
a
perfect
pastime
for
me.
Besides,
it
is
beneficial
to
my
health. To begin
with,
it
can
tone
up
my
muscles.
Before I started jogging, I often felt pain in my
neck, waist as I
have to stay in front
of computers all day long. but now, all the pains
are
gone for good.
What is more, jogging is also helpful
for my mental health. Whenever I’m
in
blue, jogging will always have the magic power to
cheer me up. And I
can
also
sort
through
my
problems
and
my
emotions
through
jogging,
which has made me
more focused and balanced.
Describe the most polite person you
know.
You should say: who the person
is; how you knew the person; what the
person does to show politeness;and
explain what you think about this
person.
Speaking of the most
polite person I know, the first one that comes
into
my mind is my neighbor Jack, who
is an engineer in a small company.
In
terms of appearance, Jack is of medium build and a
little chubby. His
eyes are not big but
his smile makes him look friendly and kind.
Actually, I have known Jack for only
several months. However, I think he
is
definitely
the
most
polite
person
I
know
coz
he
can
always
make
people around him feel comfortable and
respected.
For
instance,
every
time
Jack
and
I
meet
in
the
corridor,
he
will
wave
hello to me with a big smile, and then
we will greet each other happily.
Sometimes
he
even
invites
me
to
play
computer
games
or
watch
the
NBA games with him.
Besides, he has always been very
helpful to me. Last week, I gotta carry a
big heavy case upstairs, as I live on
the eighth floor with no elevator in
the
building,
I
felt
a
little
overwhelmed.
Fortunately,
Jack
happened
to
pass by and he offered me a hand right
away.
Moreover, Jack is well-mannered
in court. Whenever we play basketball
on the court downstairs, he always
treats our teammates and opponents
with
respect.
He is really fun to be around.
In
a
word,
I
think
Jack
has
shown
me
how
important
it
is
to
possess
politeness in our daily life.
Describe a tourist attraction you’ve
been to.
You
should
say:
where
the
place
is;
when
do
people
normally
visit
there; what features the attraction
has; and explain how you feel about
this place.
Well,
speaking
of
a
tourist
attraction
I've
been
to,
I
would
like
to
talk
about
Hainan island, a world-renowned tourist resort in
the South part
of China. I went there
last month with my families.
I
have
to
say,
it
is
a
vision
of
beauty.
I’m
deeply
fascinated
by
its
breathtaking scenery. The sea is so
clean that people can see the passing
fish as far as fifty meters away at
times. Just lying on the beach, feeling
the
soft
white
sand
on
my
bare
feet,
taking
in
nothing
but
the
continuous rhythm of
waves, the sea salt in the air is enough to soothe
my senses.
Apart
from
that,
I
can
also
dive
in
the
oceans,
I
don't
have
to
be
a
professional diver to enjoy Hainan
island. The experience of seeing the
world
undersea
is
really
eye-opening.
What
is
more,
It
is
widely
acknowledged
that
Hainan
island
is
one
of
the
best
places
for
honeymoon trips. Therefore, maybe, one
day I will go there again with
my
future husband.
