II. Sample Essay: Describing My Beloved Fruit Tree
 

1. Describing My Favorite Fruit Tree, the Orange Tree

'Adorned in yellow with pockets of white,
White pockets holding golden segments inside,
Eating segments without needing to fry,
Eating the white pockets, discarding yellow, our guide.'

Did you know which fruit the verses above are talking about? That's right, they're about ripe, juicy oranges.

Anyone who has set foot in my hometown - the land of Cao Phong, will surely never forget the endless hills covered in orange trees. Looking at those hills, I imagine a lush green velvet carpet in some fairy tale. And indeed, the orange groves in my hometown undergo a strange transformation with each season.

At the beginning of spring, the hills are all vibrant green. The orange trees, about seven or eight meters tall, quietly display their young leaves. The trunks of the orange trees are only as thick as an adult's calf but sturdy enough to support countless large and small branches. The branches, chubby and slender, always reach for the sky to embrace the sunlight. The intertwined branches support layers of lush green leaves. The small orange leaves are the size of a child's palm, elongated at both ends. At the end of spring, the leaves change color. Some are dark green, some are bright green. At this time, the warm sun begins to awaken the orange buds. Countless young buds burst open into tiny, creamy white flowers. Thus, the green velvet carpet disappears, replaced by a smooth white snow carpet.

As autumn arrives, the orange trees begin to bear fruit. The oranges start off small like berries but thanks to the summer sun and rain, they grow larger. The oranges grow in clusters, as big as an adult's fist, vibrant green and perfectly round. The fruiting season brings back the lush greenery to the hills of oranges. The orange trees, deeply rooted in the soil, stand closely together like a united front against the summer storms and rains.

In autumn, the oranges turn golden like the sun's rays. With that golden hue, my hometown shines brighter and more beautiful than ever. Countless shiny golden oranges adorn the green foliage. Some clusters of oranges, still green, seem to be sleeping. At the beginning of winter, the cold winds blow in. The oranges ripen to a brighter, richer, more enticing shade of yellow. The peel of the golden oranges shines bright. Each segment contains about seven or eight juicy orange wedges. The pale yellow segments, curved like crescent moons in the sky, contain many plump, golden-orange segments. Perhaps it's because of the color of these segments that the tree is named an orange. Not only are they attractive in color, but the taste of oranges is also incredibly delightful. Just peel the skin, and the refreshing aroma spreads everywhere. As the orange touches your tongue, the sweet, gentle taste is irresistible. Anyone passing through the Northwest gateway during this season will surely choose some fresh, delicious oranges as gifts.

The Northwest region is always cold. But my hometown is always filled with the joyous laughter of farmers because another bountiful orange season has arrived. Enjoying the ripe, sweet oranges, I eagerly await the quick return of spring, when the clouds will lift the veil for the orange blossom carpet to stretch out under the sun, and a new orange season will begin...

2. Describing My Favorite Fruit Tree, the Sapodilla Tree

The sapodilla tree has long been familiar to everyone, especially those in Hanoi.

Sapodilla trees thrive in sandy soil, and there are plenty of them in Hanoi. They are highly adaptable and grow rapidly. The trunk is sturdy, reaching up to thirty meters tall, resembling a giant. The small branches have edges and are covered in grayish fur. The leaves grow alternately, resembling bird feathers, extending out like dancing arms. The leaves are oval-shaped, with rounded or pointed tips, long and smooth, with prominent veins on the underside. In spring and summer, the sapodilla blossoms abundantly.

The sapodilla flowers form clusters, small and pale green. After a while, the young sapodilla fruits emerge, growing larger and taking on a slightly flattened, rounded shape. When unripe, the fruits are very firm; when ripe, they turn dark yellow and contain seeds inside. People love sapodilla fruits, especially in summer when they're used to make sour soup or preserved as snacks. Eating sapodilla brings a refreshing feeling, relieving the scorching heat of summer. Sometimes, my sister and I stroll along a path lined with sapodilla trees, feeling cool and comfortable, dispelling the oppressive heat of summer.

The coconut tree, a member of the palm family, stands tall like a giant. It can reach heights of up to thirty meters, its trunk stretching towards the endless blue sky. With segmented trunks resembling giant bamboo, its arms outstretched beyond embrace. Its large leaves, deeply divided into numerous branches, with prominent veins and stems, leaving scars upon shedding. Despite its towering height, the coconut tree blooms with inconspicuous flowers, yielding tiny, adorable fruits that grow into robust coconuts, encased in tough, smooth, green shells. Within lies succulent coconut flesh and refreshing coconut water, a delicacy, especially in its tender stages. Its multifaceted utility—roof thatching, culinary delight, and more—endears the coconut tree to all.

The coconut tree incessantly flowers, giving birth to charming little offspring. Over time, the coconuts grow to sizes reminiscent of cooking pots, encased in hard, smooth, green husks. Inside lies fibrous coconut meat and pristine white coconut husk, most delectable when young. Savoring the cool, sweet coconut water and indulging in the soft coconut meat is truly exquisite. With its myriad uses—roof thatching, sustenance, and more—the coconut tree is a cherished presence in human life.

Standing beside the coconut tree, I suddenly feel dwarfed. Yet, I hold a deep affection for the coconut trees adorning my grandmother's abode.

4. A descriptive piece on my favorite fruit-bearing tree, the mango tree

Our home garden boasts an abundance of fruit-bearing trees—citrus, pomelo, custard apple—but none captivate me quite like the mango tree.

With its towering, brownish trunk and sprawling branches, the mango tree stands out prominently amidst the greenery. Its branches extend horizontally, akin to the arms of television strongmen. The small mango leaves with prominent veins add to its allure. During fruiting season, clusters of tiny blossoms blanket the garden in white, soon giving way to the emergence of mango fruits. These smooth, green orbs, round and plump, fit snugly in the palm, firm and ripe, several nestled together on branches, swaying gracefully in the breeze.

One day, after receiving the nurturing care and protection from the mother tree, the last mangoes finally ripen. Each fruit, golden and ripe, fills the air with a delightful fragrance that spreads throughout the garden. At that moment, my grandfather would use a stick with a net attached to guide me in picking the fruit. He raises the stick high, skillfully hooks the mango bunch into the net bag, and gives a firm tug. And there, a bunch of mangoes is harvested. Holding the ripe, fragrant mangoes in my hands, I feel immense joy. It's truly fulfilling for my family's diligent care.

Standing under the cool shade, gazing up at the heavily laden tree, I grow even fonder of the mango tree. I hope it remains evergreen, yielding fruit for the whole family to enjoy each year.

5. A descriptive piece on my favorite fruit-bearing tree, the banana tree

Rustle, rustle... Every time the wind blows in our banana garden, it whispers joyfully, a delightful sound to the ears.

The banana trees in our garden are several years old now. The mother banana tree and her offspring live together, cocooned in happiness. Most striking is the tall, mature mother banana tree. Its trunk grows tall, straight, and somewhat sturdy. When young, its skin is smooth and shiny, cool to the touch like a baby's skin. Banana trees have many leaves, large and small, layered upon each other. As they grow, the outer leaves dry up and are gradually replaced by new ones. The banana leaves are quite large and long, with prominent veins and thick stems, swaying gracefully in the wind, a sight to behold. As bananas only grow from the mother tree, there's a saying:

'Bananas boast of being virgins.
A banana alone, how can it have offspring?'

It's perhaps the miraculous gift bestowed upon the mother banana tree by nature. Before giving birth, the mother banana tree carries dangling red banana flowers. It leans over to support its beloved offspring. After careful nurturing, the beloved offspring of the mother banana tree grow into banana bunches. Each bunch contains many hands, with bananas arranged neatly in tiers. Seeing the ripe, plump, fragrant bananas is truly enticing.

I love our banana garden dearly. I'll assist my parents in nurturing them so the trees grow quickly.

6. A descriptive piece on my favorite fruit-bearing tree, the cherry tree (whip tree)

In our garden, there are many fruit trees, but I particularly adore the cherry tree by the pond.

This cherry tree is several years old. My dad planted it when I was just learning to walk and run, and now it has grown. The cherry tree isn't very tall. Its trunk is chubby, giving rise to numerous branches. It's sturdy and healthy. Its foliage is lush, resembling a spread-out plate of sticky rice from afar. The leaves are thick and dark green. This is also a habitat for creepy caterpillars with menacing spines.

During the cherry blossoming season, the cherry tree is adorned with clusters of beautiful white flowers. As time passes, the dangling green and ripe fruit clusters emerge amidst the lush green foliage. They grow larger, and the ripe red fruits on the tree begin to attract bees, butterflies, and birds.

Every tree species has its own allure. The cherry tree may not be extraordinary, but it's a simple, humble tree that many people cherish. Likewise, I have a deep affection for the cherry tree in our home.

7. A descriptive piece on my favorite fruit-bearing tree, the mango tree

In our home, we grow a deliciously sour tamarind tree. Every summer, my mother makes sour soup and adds some tamarind, which tastes absolutely amazing.

The tamarind tree planted by my father several years ago has grown into a sturdy young man, standing at over ten meters tall. Its trunk is hard, dark red, with a layer of soft, golden-colored wood. The tamarind leaves are pinnate, with each branch bearing dozens of small leaflets. When the tree bears fruit, the clusters of pods hanging on the tree are quite remarkable. The tamarind fruit is brown, with a relatively hard shell and a white, translucent flesh inside.

The tamarind fruit swells into segmented pods, resembling a pregnant belly. When green, it's used for sour soup, and when ripe, it can be made into preserves, or tamarind jam, which is incredibly delicious. Perhaps that's why the tamarind tree is so attractive to birds. Occasionally, they flock here, chirping loudly across the sky. I love eating tamarind, with its tangy, refreshing flavor. Every time I pick tamarind, I silently thank it for bringing me joy.

I adore the tamarind tree, not only for its shade and fruit but also as a dear companion from my childhood.

8. A descriptive piece on my favorite fruit-bearing tree, the guava tree

The aroma of ripe guava fills the air with sweetness on a summer afternoon. That's the guava tree in our backyard.

In the countryside garden, there's always a mix of pomelo, tamarind, and guava trees... creating a complete and cozy rural scene. The guava tree in our home has been planted by my father for a long time. It looks like a healthy young man with a sturdy trunk, shining gray in color. Many branches shoot out from the trunk as if reaching out far. Though not as tall as many other trees, the guava tree has thick foliage, with green leaves emitting a cool, refreshing scent reminiscent of mint. In the summer, the guava tree becomes even more beautiful and fragrant, attracting everyone's attention. This is because the clusters of white flowers bloom, spreading their petals to welcome the sunlight. It's when the baby guavas are getting ready to be born.

Over time, the guava fruit grows larger and larger, resembling a bowl for rice. The clusters of fruit on the tree look like swaying bells. Despite its smooth green skin, it emits a pleasant, gentle fragrance. Closing my eyes, I can still feel its crisp and refreshing taste on my tongue. On hot summer afternoons, I used to sneak out to climb the tree, enjoying the cool breeze, the aroma of guava, and the delightful bird songs.
