雅思口語幹貨分享：Describe an important river in your country.

很多同學在看到口語這個(ge) 話題的時候都覺得很棘手，因為(wei) 話題太過於(yu) 寬泛反而不知道要說些什麽(me) 。建議大家可以從(cong) 和我們(men) 生活緊密相關(guan) 的方麵入手去開展話題，避免把這個(ge) 話題變成一個(ge) 沒有感情的百度百科介紹。

下麵一起來看看示範吧：

Well, off the top of my head（不假思索）, the most significant river in China must be the Yangtze River, or Chang Jiang as we call it. Chang means long, so I think it just got its name from the fact that it’s the longest river in China as well as in Asia, if memory serves（如果我沒記錯的話）. For all I know（據我所知）, Yangtze river originates from（起源於(yu) ） Tanggula mountains in Tibet and flows from west to east then pours into the East China Sea. My hometown, Chongqing, is one of the several megacities（大城市） situated along Yangtze River. And another important river in my hometown, the Jialing river, is one of its main tributaries（支流）. There’s nothing better than enjoying the stunning sunset by the riverside at dusk. It’s my fav way to unwind. As for the reason why it is so important, I’d like to touch briefly on（簡單談一下） the hydro（水力發電的） dams on the Yangtze River. These hydropower stations play a vital role in electricity generation. But this summer, the record breaking heatwaves and low precipitation（降雨量） have caused the rivers and reservoirs（水庫） to dry up, leading to a drastic fall in the energy output. To curtail（縮減）power use and conserve power for civil use（讓電於(yu) 民）, several industrial plants were shut down. Also, lights in many shopping malls and subways have been shut down in response to the energy shortage. This really brought many inconveniences to us local residents and result in enormous economic losses to local businesses. To cut the long story short（長話短說), the Yangtze River is absolutely essential for us.
