很多孩子在出国之后，最怀念的就是家乡的食物，经常边吃着异乡的黑暗料理边涕泪横流。所以如果雅思口语里真的要让我们聊聊家乡的vegetables, 貌似也不是那么难的，闭上眼睛，回忆一下家乡好吃的菜肴吧!
I’d like to talk about Chinese green beans, which are only planted in China.
I knew that because I’ve been to Australia once, and one day I went to the market to buy some green beans, but they were totally different from what we had in China. They were long and thin with a hard pod, which could only be fried. But ours are thick with big beans inside, and they taste great when stewed with pork and potatoes. But the guy who worked in the market told me, they were the only green beans available in Australia, and they had never heard of the kind of beans I described. I couldn’t believe it, ‘cause they were so common in China, and I thought they were supposed to be sold all around the world. I went back home and checked online, that’s when I realized this kind of vegetable only grows in China.
And there’s an interesting story I’d like to share with you. One of my friends was so into Chinese green beans that he even tried to bring the seeds back to Australia, thinking that he could plant them in his backyard. But when he was going through customs, the officer confiscated the seeds ‘cause it’s not allowed.
Anyway, I’m sure I would miss them a lot after I go abroad.
甭管真假，反正能骗过考官就行，更何况，考官也不会追究到底澳大利亚有没有卖我们的中国豆角…… 只要不犯一些常识性错误，就大胆的说吧!
