  本期节目话题参考文本


  I am from the United States so I am going to talk about The Mississippi River, which is one of the most important rivers in the United States and in North America. The river is very long, about 2,340 miles and flows north to south from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana. Together with the Missouri River, it forms the fourth largest river system in the world.
  The Mississippi River travels through several states including Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. It acts as the border between several of these states. It also travels through several major cities including Minneapolis, St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans.
  The river is a classic example of a meandering river leaving behind a lot of lakes, swamps and channels. I have visited part of Mississippi river in Louisiana and the water is not very clean to be honest due to heavy industrial usage and pollution.
  In the early history of the United States, the Mississippi River served as the westernmost border of the country until the Louisiana Territory was purchased from France in 1803. After that, the river was a symbol of the start of the American frontier. Today the river is an important transportation waterway, carrying goods from the middle of the country to the port of New Orleans and into the Gulf of Mexico.
