Describe an important river or lake in your country
you should say
where it is located
how big or long it is
what it looks like
and explain why it is important
Well I would like to talk about Yangtze river, which is one of the longest river in China. As for how long it is, actually I don’t know the exact length, but it just stretches from the very western part of China, probably from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, zigzagging its way to the east end of this country and running into the ocean. So you can see it looks like a dragon if you take a look at it from a satellite in outer space.
我想谈谈长江,它是**长的河流之一。至于它有多长,实际上我不知道确切的长度,但它是从*的西部,可能是从青藏高原开始,曲折地延伸到这个国家的东端,然后流入大海。因此,如果你从外层空间的卫星上看它,你可以看到它看起来像一条龙。
Along its way, you can find a lot of hydro-electric power stations, which generate electricity for places nearby or even for provinces in further distance. The Three Gorge Dam, which has been built like decades ago and now provides electricity for a large part of China, is the most massive power station.
沿途,你可以找到许多水力发电站,为附近地区甚至更远的省份发电。三峡大坝建于几十年前,现在为*大部分地区*电力,是*大的发电站。
Besides, if you take a cruise along its course, you will be impressed by how breathtaking the scenery is along the way. There are also lots of ships on it, coming and going all the time. Bulk goods are transported to destinations on its watercourse.
此外,如果你沿着它的路线航行,你会被沿途令人叹为观止的风景所打动。水上也有很多船只,随时来来往往。散装货物通过其水道运输至目的地。
Another thing I need to mention is that its water is also the main source for the irrigation of farmlands on its bank. Therefore,there is no doubt that it’s a treasure to people all over the country.
我需要提到的另一件事是,它的水也是河岸农田灌溉的主要来源。因此,毫无疑问,它是*人民的财富。
