Sample Answer 1： Well, when it comes to an important river or lake in my country, the first one that comes to mind is the Yangtze River. It is one of the most important rivers in the world, and is also the longest river in China, the third-longest in the world. The river is over 6000 km long and it flows through a lot of provinces in China, so it is quite difficult to say where exactly it is located. And it is so important that Chinese people even regard it as our "Mother River". It is actually quite hard to describe its appearance because once you see it, you might feel that there is nothing special about this river. And that was actually my first impression as well. But once I saw the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang city, my opinion about this river was converted. I still remember the first time that I intentionally go on a trip just for the Yangtze River was right after I graduated from high school. In that summer holiday, I got nothing else better to do, so I thought I might as well just go on a trip, but not somewhere far away, just within the province, after discussing the destination with some of my friends, I finally made up my mind to simply go along with the Yangtze River and see where it could take me to. The trip was kind boring in the beginning, but when we arrived at the dam, I was shocked by that immense construction, I felt that I was so small comparing with it. What's more, the influence it has was totally a gamechanger. Can you believe it, a single dam like this can help China to save up to 10 billion yuan per year. And this is just one dam on the Yangtze River we are talking about, can you imagine the total amount of money we can save if we add up all the other dams all together? Not to mention the economic benefits they bring. So after all, the advantages the Yangtze River bring to my country is far beyond important.
Sample Answer 2 ： If we are talking about an important river in my country, it has got to be theYangtze River. To tell the truth, 3 years ago I moved to the city Chongqing, which is known as the Mountain City of China where stunning overlook of the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River can be seen around the shore. So I heard a lot about how thankful the local citizens are towards the rivers and what kind of benefit has the Yangtze River brought to this magnificent city. The Yangtze River, which are usually called Chang Jiang as its Chinese name, is the longest river in both China and Asia and the third longest river in the world, with a length of roughly 3000 miles. The upper course of the Yangtze flows across the Plateau of Tibet and descends through deep valleys in the mountains east of the plateau, emerging on the border of the Tibet Autonomous Region, then the river flows generally easterly through a shallow, spacious valley, and reached the bottom of Sichuan basin, which is Chinese great granary and contains nearly one-third of the national population. I've heard about the saying from some local elderlies about how a river could nurture and thrive people from ashore. The Yangtze River is the best example, several decades ago, it used to carry the majority burden of the water transportation in the southwest part of China, while for now the river offers the city a wonderful chance to show its stunning night view with the help of magically designed lights and skyscrapers. It's that kind of place. Steady, not flashy. Pretty, not perfect, yet with all the hustle and bustle so ordinary people like you and me would fall in love with it almost in the first sight. The Yangtze quietly does the work that keeps the rest of the Chinese River system functioning as nature intended.
