Describe a river" - Mekong River

Good morning/afternoon. Today, I would like to talk about the Mekong River, one of the most
significant rivers in Southeast Asia and the world.

The Mekong River is not just a geographical feature; it’s a lifeline for millions of people. It
originates from the Tibetan Plateau, flows through six countries—China, Myanmar, Laos,
Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

The Mekong River is known for its incredible biodiversity, second only to the Amazon River. Its
waters vary greatly depending on the season. During the rainy season, the river expands
dramatically, flooding many areas but also providing fertile soil for farming. In Vietnam, the
Mekong Delta, also known as the "rice bowl of Vietnam," is one of the most productive
agricultural regions in the country.

The Mekong River supports millions of people who rely on it for farming, fishing, and
transportation. The delta is home to floating markets like Cai Rang and Phong Dien, where
locals sell fresh produce and traditional goods directly from their boats. It’s not only a hub for
economic activities but also a place of cultural significance.

For me, Mekong river is not only a river, but it also my neighbourhood. I remember the
time when I was a little girl, I and my friend swam and played together everyday. One
time, my father was not allowed me to swim in the river anymore because I spend too much
time playing and did not concentrate on my homework and he hit me a lot. But it was a
good memory in my mind.

In conclusion, the Mekong River is not just a river; it’s a source of life, culture, and inspiration.
Preserving it for future generations is crucial, and I hope efforts continue to protect its
ecosystem. If you ever get the chance, visiting the Mekong Delta will provide a unique
experience of Vietnam's beauty and cultural richness.
