　　雅思口语新题：描述一个本国的河流——参考文本

　　I’d like to talk about our Mother River in China--The yellow river. Originating in Western China, the yellow river, at an estimated length of more than 5000 km, flows through several areas and empties into the Bohai sea near Shandong province. Thus its drainage area covers nearly half of China. The yellow river, by and large, is notable for carrying a large amount of silt every year into the sea.

　　Being the sixth longest river in the world, the yellow river enjoys the fame of nurturing generations of Chinese people. However, it has been responsible for several floods and some have even been catastrophic. So in modern time, people dare not to make light of its severity and sophisticated dams are then built. Nowadays, the yellow river is easier to be tamed.
