如果你在百度百科里搜索“冰糖葫芦”，会在它的后面看到一个括号里标注“中国传统小吃”，所以雅思口语traditional product，是不是就可以聊这个了呢!相传，在宋朝年间便有了古式的糖葫芦做法，百科上介绍说，《燕京岁时记》记载：冰糖葫芦，乃用竹签，贯以山里红、海棠果、葡萄、麻山药、核桃仁、豆沙等，蘸以冰糖，甜脆而凉。而且在茶楼、戏院、大街小巷到处可见。另外，别忘了各种奇妙的功效：开胃、养颜、增智、消除疲劳、清热等等，挑一两个好用英文介绍的点展开一下，就把这个传统的product介绍完了。

I’d like to talk about “bing tang hu lu”, which is a kind of traditional Chinese snack and is basically crispy sugar-coated fruits on a stick.

If I remember right, it was invented in Song dynasty, about hundreds of years ago. Although so many years have passed, its popularity never fades.

It’s my favorite snack during winter. The taste and texture is just out of this world. I still remember after the first bite, I felt as if I’ve found the love of my life. And it’s safe to say, it suits everyone’s taste. People from different age groups all love it. The best part is, it’s pretty organic, I mean, it doesn’t have any additives or preservatives. The sourness can always give you a good appetite, and the fresh fruits in it, according to dietitians, can make your skin smoother.

Oh, speaking of which, at first, haws are the only fruit used when people were making this kind of snack, they wrapped haws in steamed sugar, and in freezing cold winter, when they were taken outside, the sugar would automatically freeze and become crisp. So when you taste it, it’s sweet on the outside and a little bit sour and juicy on the inside. Today, people are more creative and bold, anything you can think of could be made into bing tang hu lu, like grapes, oranges, strawberries, kiwifruits, you name it.

So… that’s the traditional product I’d like to share with you.
