 My country, Taiwan, is a wonderful place, and it is shaped like a sweet potato. It is an island located between the Taiwan Strait and the Pacific Ocean. Its capital city is Taipei. The official language is Mandarin Chinese, but people also speak other languages, such as Taiwanese Hokkien. Indigenous peoples also have their own languages. There are about 23 million people living here.
 My country has a long and interesting history. Taiwan was named “Ilha Formosa,” which means “Beautiful Island,” by the Portuguese. Later, the Dutch colonized part of Taiwan. The Spanish also arrived in northern Taiwan, while the Dutch controlled the south. Eventually, the Dutch drove the Spanish out. After that, Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga) attacked the Dutch and took control of Taiwan. Later, the Qing Empire took over Taiwan. After losing a war against Japan, the Qing Empire gave Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan. Japan lost World War II, and Taiwan was then placed under the control of the Republic of China government. That is a brief history of Taiwan.
 I feel very proud of my country. Taiwan plays an important role in the world. It is located in East Asia, between the northern and southern parts of the region. Ships and airplanes traveling to other places can stop in Taiwan to rest or refuel.

 我的國家台灣是一個很棒的地方,外形就像一條地瓜。它是一座位於台灣海峽與太平洋之間的島嶼。首都是台北市。官方語言是中文(華語),但人們也會說其他語言,例如台語。原住民族也有自己的語言。台灣大約有2,300萬人口。
 我的國家有著悠久又有趣的歷史。台灣曾被葡萄牙人稱為「Ilha Formosa」,意思是「美麗之島」。後來,荷蘭人殖民了台灣的部分地區。西班牙人也來到台灣北部,而荷蘭人當時已經控制南部。最後,荷蘭人將西班牙人趕走。之後,鄭成功攻打荷蘭人,並取得台灣的控制權。後來,清朝接管了台灣。清朝在與日本的戰爭中戰敗,因此將台灣和澎湖群島割讓給日本。日本在第二次世界大戰中戰敗後,台灣隨後由中華民國政府接管。以上就是台灣簡短的歷史。
 我以自己的國家為榮。台灣在世界上扮演著重要的角色。它位於東亞,是這個區域中重要的地理位置。前往其他地方的船隻和飛機,可以在台灣停留休息或補充燃料。
