雅思口语P2 Describe an important river(文字版）

About that topic, I would like to talk about the river that crosses Venice, the famous Italian city for lovers. It is no secret today that in order to please your girlfriend or wife and do something romantic for her, you should take her to that particular city. I can't say why this city became the capital town of love, but today it is undeniable. And it has one famous attraction, which is a little boat ride on that special river. Not only Italian people, but more generally people from all around the world come for that ride. It is a very relaxing and romantic experience, because the river is so clean and calm. The boat only hosts 4 people, which are the sailor, a singer, and the two lovers. While the boat goes very slow, there is a person who sings love songs, and the couple can enjoy a good time while crossing that river. Back in the days, it was even more important because the locals used that water to live. They had a system that purifies the water so that they can drink it, or cook with it, and so on. They also used it to water the plants and the trees which would give them nice fruits and vegetables. It used to be a very rainy region, so the level of the river never went down. I really hope that one day I can take my girl there, since it is pretty expensive to visit.
