If you were asked to send one thing representing your country to an international exhibition, what would you choose? Why? Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice.
I would send a literary book. The Persian language is filled with great poets who are world known. It is difficult to select a book from a great number of amazing literary books. However, my choice would be Golestan by Saadi Shirazi. The book was chosen by the Times Magazine as one of the 1000 great books of all time. Saadi is famous for his poetic language. He is called Shireen Zaban, i.e. someone who has a sweet language. Reading his poems makes you feel as if you are sitting by a passing river and listen to the voices of water and birds. Most of Saadi’s works are a collection of poems but Golestan is an exception. Golestan is composed of random, short stories that are full of human advice and interesting narratives. Many experts have considered the language used in Golestan the prime of the Persian language. It has been decades since Saadi’s death and during this time, many writers have attempted to imitate Saedi’s style but most of them either have been unsuccessful or could have not surpassed him.
I would choose this book because I would like to change Iran’s picture in people’s minds, even if a little. During recent years, due to the conflicts of Iran’s foreign policies with other countries, people in the world do not have the same opinion of Iran’s people as they had before the Iranian revolution. Golestan is a good representative of Iranians’ culture and behaviors. Golestan pictures not only Iranians’ love for literature but a reasonable picture of their moral codes.
Saadi's "Golestan" Saadi's "Golestan"
You should make it clear that this is a title (especially since "Golestan" is also the name of a province). Quotation marks will let you do that. (You could also use italics, but not at LangCorrect.)
