Describe an important river or lake in your country. You should say: Where it is located? How big/long it is? What is look like? And explain why it is important?

Speaking of a

lake

in Vietnam

that is

important, it would definitely be

West

Lake

.

This

lake

has a great meaning to the local people

as well as

to my childhood. It is situated in the

west

of the capital,

West

Lake

has long been one of the symbols of Hanoi, an image of childhood in the minds of any Hanoians. The name "

West

" of the

lake

is directly gotten from the

West

district, where

this

lake

is located. It's arguably the largest local

lake

I've ever met, I mean it's huge, really huge. We can see it clearly on the map,

for example

, the Google Map application on the smartphone, and it is like a giant water tank of the capital. When it comes to the reason why I felt it is important, well, is because previously, it became part of my memories. When I was a kid, my father often takes me to

this

lake

to swim on hot summer days. Was a little nervous at

first,

but eventually I got used to it, and really enjoyed swimming in the

lake

. It made me relax and stay healthy.

In addition

,

West

Lake

is a meeting place when it comes to special occasions, hosting many important events in a variety of fields,

such

as Running Competitions, Bike Racing, and Kayaking Contests. Recently,

West

Lake

has changed quite a lot with the advent of buildings and new houses in the surroundings.

However

, the nature of the local

lake

here remains unchanged as it is still nostalgic and cosy. In the future, I continue to live here.

This

is simply because

this

lake

has been a part of my mind for all my life until now and it will always be.
