Hi, First I'd advise you take a paper and write the things that come to your mind, things you really like about your country. People's mentality? The atmosphere? Arts/Music? Wildlife?… Try to view your country as if you were a foreigner, yet with the heart of someone who lives here.
Then I would start by the most general view and gradually go down to the most detailed. For instance, start by saying how the world sees your country, then further on to your own ideas. As an example, being French, I could say one of the most common ideas about my people is we smell like garlic (ahah :D) and continue saying that indeed we do use a lot of garlic in our (delicious :p) cooking, but that's good for the blood, and maybe one of the reasons why we have a rather good life expectancy ;)—or something. And I would go on about food, sure. This kind of homework is meant to test your patriotism as much as your writing abilities. If you don't like your country, be inventive. If you do, things will come naturally. But obviously, you cannot be satisfied with : "I love my country because it's great". So go into details. Hope I could help, good luck. Yun
