Talk about an important river or lake in your country or hometown | Speaking for IELTS PDF Download

- Which water body is that 
- How do you know about it? 
- Why does it impress you so much 

Sample Answer:

  • India is a diverse country. 
  • There are many rivers, lakes, beaches in India which are important. 
  • One important river that I would like to talk about here is the river Ganges or the Ganga, as we popularly call it 
  • I don’t exactly remember when I learnt about it but I think it was most likely in school. 
  • It was a part of Geography class which covered major Indian rivers. 
  • I think I learnt more about it through news as I grew older. 
  • I don’t know everything about it but I do know quite a lot about it. 
  • It emerges out of the Himalayas from the glaciers and falls into the Bay of Bengal. 
  • It is a perennial river as water is available throughout the year. 
  • It receives water from two sources, the glaciers in the Himalayas and the rainfall  in the monsoon season. 
  • It is impressive for many reasons, the first being its length. 
  • It is one of the longest rivers of the world and it is the longest river in India. 
  • Many people are dependent upon it for their livelihood. 
  • The farmers use its water for agriculuture and people also do fishing in this river. 
  • The river is also famous for religious reasons. 
  • It is considered sacred and many Hindu festivals are organised on the banks of river Ganga. 
  • In fact, last rites of Hindus are conducted on the river banks as well. 
  • A dip in the river Ganga is believed to wash away all the sins. 
  • However, in recent years, I hear about the river mostly for the wrong reasons like excessive pollution, illegal fishing and illegal sand mining from the river banks. 
  • I have also heard about fish and dolphins dying because of these activities. 
  • The governments have promised to bring about changes but unfortunately the results have been far from satisfactory. 
  • But, I also believe that government can’t do anything, if people do not support it in its actions.
