II. Sample Essay: Describing the Banana Fruit

1. Describing the Banana Fruit, Sample #1:

In our backyard, my mother grows a cluster of plantain bananas near the boundary wall. There are about 10 banana trees lined up there. Yesterday, I went to check, and some banana trees were flowering, with beautiful large clusters of bananas, all fruiting.

The banana flower resembles a giant crimson lotus bud atop the lush green banana tree. As the flowers begin to blossom, they detach from the stem, revealing small, pale green banana fingers. Each finger gradually emerges to the end of the cluster. Initially, the bananas are no bigger than a finger, and the clusters are no larger than a hand. They grow rapidly, and soon the fingers are as big as a hat and the bananas are round and curved like a sickle. Ripe bananas still retain a dark green hue, with smooth and glossy skin, clearly showing the four sides of the fruit. As bananas ripen, the skin transitions from green to yellow, indicating full ripeness. If left to overripen, brown spots resembling quail eggs appear on the skin. Ripe bananas are delicious, with soft, smooth, sweet, and fragrant flesh. Rich in vitamins and beneficial for digestion, bananas are favored by many.

I really admire my mother's banana trees and enjoy eating nutritious plantain bananas. They are not only delicious but also beneficial for health, rich in nutrients.

The finest and most captivating Short Descriptions of Bananas

3. Describing bananas, model number 3:

Today, nearing Tet, my mother and I went to the market to prepare everything for the ancestral altar, among the five types of fruit, I was most impressed and fond of the bananas on the banana tray.

At first glance, the banana bunch resembles my cupped hands, the wrist being the stem of the banana bunch, while the fingers are the bananas themselves, albeit with more bananas and arranged in two layers. The bananas bought for the altar are cooking bananas, large, long, and curved, with beautiful stems, shiny skins, each looking impeccable. Each cooking banana must be longer than 20cm, curved like a sickle moon, as thick as my wrist. My mother reminded me to wash the bananas carefully to avoid scratching the skin, which would cause them to ooze sap and develop unsightly blemishes. After a few days on the altar, the bananas turned pale yellow, then darker yellow, indicating they were ripe and at their best for consumption. Ripe bananas have thin, easy-to-peel skins, with pale yellow, fragrant, and delicately sweet flesh inside. Green bananas can be cooked with bones or stewed with fish, while ripe bananas can be dried, made into preserves, there are numerous ways to prepare them along with bananas.

Bananas are a fruit I deeply adore, not only for their simplicity and ease of cultivation but also for their delightful, nutritious flavor that promotes good health.
