【口语】Describe an important plant in your country
You should say:
What it is
Where you see it
What it looks like
Why it is important
思路分析
看到题目我们首先进行思维发散，把能想起来的喊出来名字的植物全部列举出来，很多同学的思维受限是因为看到题面上的important被吓到，认为只有竹子一类的才能在中国被称得上重要，但是我们如果仔细想想，其实很多植物都符合要求的，比如康乃馨-中国人注重孝道，康乃馨是对妈妈表达爱意的花；比如牡丹花，在中国洛阳是都城的时候，牡丹一直是中国的国花；再比如含羞草，在注重内敛的中国文化中，含羞草经常被比喻成娇羞的女孩子，实在不行了就说玫瑰花，中国的年轻人到了情人节也会用它来表示爱意。重要不代表需要是在中国独一无二的。
确定了选题之后我们就可以看题目具体的要求了，第一个要求介绍，大家第一句点明要讲的内容然后把所有的你所了解这植物的相关信息都可以答出�
第二点描述你如何知道，这个一般有几种情况，小时候在书上看到的，小学学过的，电视上看到的，公园里见到爸爸跟你说的等等注意需要把整个经历完整摊开来讲，越详细越好，考官不喜欢听笼统的答案，另外细节多了听起来也比较真实，注意描述经历时的时态。
第三点介绍为何重要，这个时候只要讲中国人在什么场合会用到这种植物，或者这种植物和中国文化之间的关系就可以啦。
第四点介绍个人感受+原因即可。
参考答案：
Well, when it comes to this topic, the first kind of plant that popped intomy mindis the sunflower, they are pretty common so you probably have seen themsomewhere. Also, Vincent van Gogh, the famous artist from Holland has a paintingof them, which is the magnum opus of his. In his painting, you can feel theenergy and passion that sunflowers bring to the people and this beautifulworld.
I saw sunflowers for the first time when I was little, maybe like 5 yearsold in my grandpa’s small garden, he is a big fan of gardening and has all kindsof flowers in his garden, but sunflowers caught my attention because of theirsize and bright colour. I remember at the end of the day when my parents and Iwere leaving, I cried so badly because I wanted to take the flowers back homewith me.
Sunflowers are very important in China because firstly, Chinese people liketheir spirit of always looking up to the sun, in our culture, we think they arelike people with dream, passion and belief, and we think highly of those people.Secondly, Chinese love to eat sunflower seeds while watching TV, it’s basicallylike you guys eat pizza while watching game of thrones.
Sunflowers are my favourite plants, I hope that in the future, I can havemy own small garden so that I can keep some by myself, it would be verybeautiful I bet.

可参考真题：C6T3P2：Motivating Employees under Adverse Conditions
考试原文：
Motivating Drives
Scientists have been researching the way to get employees motivated formany years. This research in a relational study which builds the fundamental andcomprehensive model for study. This is especially true when the business goal isto turn unmotivated teams into productive ones. But their researchers havelimitations. It is like studying the movements of car without taking out theengine.
Motivation is what drives people to succeed and plays a vital role inenhancing an organizational development. It is important to study the motivationof employees because it is related to the emotion and behavior of employees.Recent studies show there are four drives for motivation. They are the drive toacquire, the drive to bond, the drive to comprehend and the drive to defend.
The Drive to Acquire
The drive to acquire must be met to optimize the acquire aspect as well asthe achievement element. Thus the way that outstanding performance isrecognized, the type of perks that is provided to polish the career path. Butsometimes a written letter of appreciation generates more motivation than athousand dollar check, which can serve as the invisible power to boost businessengagement. Successful organizations and leaders not only need to focus on theoptimization of physical reward but also on moving other levers within theorganization that can drive motivation.
The Drive to Bond
The drive to bond is also key to driving motivation. There are many kindsof bonds between people, like friendship, family. In company, employees alsowant to be an essential part of company. They want to belong to the company.Employees will be motivated if they find personal belonging to the company. Inthe meantime, the most commitment will be achieved by the employee on conditionthat the force of motivation within the employee affects the direction,intensity and persistence of decision and behavior in company.
The Drive to Comprehend
The drive to comprehend motivates many employees to higher performance. Foryears, it has been known that setting stretch goals can greatly impactperformance. Organizations need to ensure that the various job roles provideemployees with simulation that challenges them or allow them to grow. Employeesdon’t want to do meaningless things or monotonous job. If the job didn’t providethem with personal meaning and fulfillment, they will leave the company.
The Drive to Defend
The drive to defend is often the hardest lever to pull. This drivemanifests itself as a quest to create and promote justice, fairness, and theability to express ourselves freely. The organizational lever for this basichuman motivator is resource allocation. This drive is also met through anemployee feeling connection to a company. If their companies are merged withanother, they will show worries.
Two studies have been done to find the relations between the four drivesand motivation.The article based on two studies was finally published in HarvardBusiness Review. Most authors’ arguments have laid emphasis on four-drive theoryand actual investigations. Using the results of the surveys which executed withemployees from Fortune 500 companies and other two global businesses (P companyand H company), the article mentions about how independent drives influenceemployees’ behavior and how organizational levers boost employee motivation.
The studies show that the drive to bond is most related to fulfillingcommitment, while the drive to comprehend is most related to how much effortemployees spend on works. The drive to acquire can be satisfied by a rewardingsystem which ties rewards to performances, and gives the best peopleopportunities for advancement. For drive to defend, a study on the merging of Pcompany and H company shows that employees in former company show an unusualcooperating attitude.
The key to successfully motivate employees is to meet all drives. Each ofthese drives is important if we are to understand employee motivation. Thesefour drives, while not necessarily the only human drives, are the ones that arecentral to unified understanding of modern human life.

范文：
The two maps illustrate what construction will be carried out in an England residential area for the purpose of reducing possibility of traffic accidents.
As shown in the first map, the frequent accidents usually take place in three spots: the first one is on the west of the City Road, just in front of the school. The second one is at the spot where Forrest Road intersects with the City Road. And the third one is at a small pathway, in conjunction with the east side of City Road.
At present, from the north to the south is the main road Forrest Road, it is in conjunction with the City Road which extends from the west to the east. The west side of the City Road leads to the school, and it is located in the north-west of the residential area. The Low Lane directs to the living district, which sits in the west to the Forrest Road. The lane is in conjunction with both the City Road and the Forrest road. The supermarket is situated to the east of the Forrest Road, residents can get groceries there by driving along the City Road.
In the future, it is noticeable that a roundabout will be built in the centre of the Forrest Road, which might reduce the speed of the vehicles. Another noticeable change is that the south side of the Low Lane will no longer be connected to the Forrest Road. For those residents living in this district wishing to go to the main road, the only way will be driving back to the City Road and passing the roundabout.
