Week Four ThursdayIn August, 2021, Colin and his wife in New Zealand dug a 7.8kg" potato " in their garden . They named it Doug . It is as heavy as a few bags of usual potatoes or a small dog . They thought it was the world ' s largest potato and happily applied for Guinness World Records （吉尼斯世界纪录).But in January, 2022, they were told that it was not a potato but a gourd tuber. So the world record for the largest potato is still 3.76kgs. It was certified in the UK in 2011. Even though it is not the world's largest potato , Colin is still happy to have found such an interesting thing in his garden.语言点：1. dig 挖掘，挖2. name sth 给……取名，把……叫做3. largest 最大的4. apply for 申请5.
