I’m going to talk about a beautiful river which I have visited last summer if I’m not mistaken. You know, when it’s speaking of nature, I can say that nature itself is my role model. Nature is inspiring for me. Everything in nature, you know, water, wind, I don’t know, fire itself. I learn a lot from nature. But if I were to single out a very special and beautiful river, I would certainly choose to speak about the one that I have visited last summer. As far as I remember, it was, I think, August that we had a family get together. We went to the, we went to Shah-Tur-A’al on the way to Shiraz, one of the cities in Iran. We went there. It is famous for its beautiful nature and of course there is a river which is well known among the people there in Shiraz. And as I have studied tourism and I am familiar with the touristic attractions of the most of the countries, especially my own country, Iran. So I made a decision to go there and visit that river with my family. We went there. The river was so beautiful. It had a very clear water. And of course, I forgot to remind this, that this river, that river is famous for its fishes, you know. Yeah, they use that, those fishes in medical treatment, you know, you go and sit in the water and those fishes come and but small bites your food and it has a relaxing sense for you. And why?
