Describe a plant, vegetable or crop that you are familiar with. v. 1
Describe a plant, vegetable or crop that you are familiar with. You should say: what it is and where it grows why it is important what you like or dislike about it and explain why this is important for your country.   Model Answer 1: My country has predominantly been an agricultural country even though, in recent times, industrialization has made its way in many parts. So, it is fair to say that I am more than familiar with a few crops that are grown in my country, and paddy/rice is one of them. Talking about rice, this particular crop is pretty popular throughout the whole continent of Asia where the majority of its people eat rice as their main food. By the way, rice is regarded as the first cultivated crop of Asia. In fact, preserved rice grains were found in China around 3000 B. C.   Apart from Asian countries, rice is also grown to some extent in Africa, the Caribbean and Latin American countries, Australia and Europe. Rice cultivation is well-suited to countries and regions with low labour costs and high rainfall, as it is labour-intensive to cultivate and requires ample water. However, rice can be grown practically anywhere, even on a steep hill or mountain area with the use of water-controlling terrace systems. But, before anything, one needs proper seedling of suitable varieties of rice, which suit the environment, in order to cultivate rice. Once the seedlings are grown at a certain height, they are then planted on the soil after preparing it by ploughing and harrowing it properly. Anyway, I like everything about this particular crop because it has lots of usages. Needless to say, when rice is grown, their green look renders the landscape of my country so beautiful that one just would keep looking at it while the wind moves them gently. Besides, they look stunningly beautiful when the paddy sheaf become gold and ready for harvesting. Well, this crop is very important for my country because it meets the demand of the main food and carbohydrate for millions of the population of my country. Besides, still, the majority of the population of my country are dependent on this crop for their livelihood and economic needs. Finally, rice is an important crop in my country also because its straw is predominantly used as a feed for the livestock all over my country.   Sample Answer 2: Paddy is a common type of crop in our country that I am familiar with. Rice is the staple food in our country and our food demand is mainly supported by this crop. Paddy is grown in almost all part of our country. But the north part of the country is particularly the best place to produce the best quality of rice. The paddy plant is grown in a fertile land where plenty of water supplies is available. But it can't grow in water. The people of our country eat rice as our main food and because of this plant we get our food supply. This is the most important crop in our country and probably the most important one as well. If we can't grow plenty of paddy plant we won't have enough rice and as a consequence, we won't have enough food supply for our people. Every nation has its own main crop and their economy is much influenced by it and for our country, paddy has similar influences on our economy. I like this paddy plant as it looks beautiful in the green field. The golden paddy and the green plants look amazing when it dances with the rhythm of the wind. I also like it because it is the main food for us. We are heavily dependent on this plant for our daily food and economic growth. The importance of this plant and the crop it gives is really huge. If we did not have this plant in our country, we would have a real problem fulfilling our daily food needs. The crops we get from the plant are our main crop and supply us our daily needs of foods. For all these reasons I like this plant and the crop it provides.   Similar Cue Card Topics Your ability to talk about this Cue Card Topic would also enable you to talk about the following Cue Card Topics as well: Describe a plant grown in your country.

Model Answer 1:

My
country
has
predominantly
been an agricultural
country
even though
, in recent times, industrialization has made its way in
many
parts.
So
, it is
fair
to say that I am more than familiar with a few
crops
that
are grown
in my
country
, and paddy/rice is one of them.

Talking about
rice
, this particular
crop
is pretty popular throughout the whole continent of Asia where the majority of its
people
eat
rice
as their
main
food.

By the way,
rice
is regarded
as the
first
cultivated
crop
of Asia. In fact, preserved
rice
grains
were found
in China around 3000 B. C.
 
Apart from Asian
countries
,
rice
is
also
grown to
some
extent in Africa, the Caribbean and Latin American
countries
, Australia and Europe.
Rice
cultivation is
well
-suited to
countries
and regions with low
labour
costs and high rainfall, as it is
labour-intensive
to cultivate and requires ample water.
However
,
rice
can
be grown
practically
anywhere, even on a steep hill or mountain area with the
use
of water-controlling terrace systems.

But
,
before
anything, one
needs
proper seedling of suitable varieties of
rice
, which suit the environment, in order to cultivate
rice
. Once the seedlings
are grown
at a certain height, they are then planted on the soil after preparing it by
ploughing
and harrowing it
properly
.

Anyway
, I like everything about this particular

it has lots of usages.
Needless to say
, when
rice

, their green
look
renders the landscape of my
country
so
beautiful
that one
just
would
keep
looking at it while the wind
moves
them
gently
.
Besides
, they
look
stunningly
beautiful
when the paddy sheaf become gold and ready for harvesting.

Well
, this
crop
is
very
important
for my
country
because
it meets the demand of the
main
food
and carbohydrate for millions of the population of my
country
.
Besides
,
still
, the majority of the population of my
country
are dependent on this
crop
for their livelihood and economic
needs
.
Finally
,
rice
is an
important
crop
in my
country
also
because
its straw is
predominantly
used
as a feed for the livestock all over my
country
.
 
Sample Answer 2:

Paddy is a common type of
crop
in our
country
that I am familiar with.
Rice
is the staple
food
in our
country
and our
food
demand is
mainly
supported by this
crop
. Paddy
is grown
in almost all part of our
country
.
But
the north part of the
country
is
particularly
the best place to produce the best quality of
rice
. The paddy
plant
is grown
in a fertile land where
plenty
of water supplies is available.
But
it can't grow in water.

The
people
of our
country
eat
rice
as our
main
food
and
because of this
plant
we
get
our
food
supply
. This is the most
important
crop
in our
country
and
probably
the most
important
one as
well
. If we can't grow
plenty
of paddy
plant
we won't have
enough
rice
and as a consequence, we won't have
enough
food
supply
for our
people
. Every nation has its
own
main
crop
and their economy is much influenced by it and for our
country
, paddy has similar influences on our economy. I like this paddy
plant
as it
looks
beautiful
in the green field. The golden paddy and the green
plants
look
amazing when it dances with the rhythm of the wind. I
also
like it
because
it is the
main
food
for us. We are
heavily
dependent on this
plant
for our daily
food
and economic growth.

The importance of this
plant
and the
crop
it gives is
really
huge. If we did not have this
plant
in our
country
, we would have a real problem fulfilling our daily
food
needs
. The
crops
we
get
from the
plant
are our
main
crop
and
supply
us our daily
needs
of
foods
. For all these reasons I like this
plant
and the
crop
it provides.
