　　范文

　　Seeing this topic, I would like to tell you about the Yangtze river that is more than 6000km long. It is the longest river in Asia and the third-longest in the world. If I'm not wrong, it is even the longest in the world to flow entirely within one country which drains one-fifth of the land area of China.

　　In China, the whole river is known as Chang Jiang, which literally translates to “Long River”. It plays a large role in the history, culture and economy of my country, its river basin is home to nearly one third of the country’s population. Many people depend on it in their daily lives, even until today. The river originates from several tributaries in the eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau. It has long been the backbone of china's inland water transportation system that remained particularly important for almost two thousand years, until the construction of the national railway network during the 20th century. The Grand Canal connects the lower Yangtze with the major cities of the Jiangnan region south of the river and with northern China.

　　In a nutshell, Yangtze river is important to my country. I can’t even imagine how the people's lives would be if anything had happened to it.
