China is not only famous for its cute pandas, but also for the animals' favourite food—bamboo. China grows the most bamboo in the world. That's why it got the name “Kingdom of Bamboo”. The history of Chinese people planting and using bamboo can go back about 7,000 years ago.
Chinese people have used bamboo in many ways. For example, the plant was once an important building material in China. 1. Even today, we can find some of such buildings around us. In the past, people also made bamboo into rafts (竹筏) to get across rivers and lakes or go fishing. 2. In the past, before Chinese people had paper to use, they used bamboo as “paper” to write on. What's more, Chinese people have used this plant to make food, play music and so on.
3. Chinese people believe that bamboo is a symbol of good character. It grows straight and tall. It can stand bad weather. And its green colour is a good example of elegance (雅致). 4. Su Shi, a famous poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote in his poem, “I would rather (宁愿) eat no meat than live without bamboo.” Do you love bamboo?

5. Do you think bamboo is useful in your life? Why? (回答不多于 15 词)
