Model Answer 2:
I like to visit the River Daugava and it has become a regular activity for me too. 
The river bank provides a great natural view. The river is located in Russia. 
Thank you for your question.
To be specific, the river is located in the Valdai Hills in Russia. The river flows 
through Russia to Belarus. It also crosses Latvia and the Gulf o Riga. This is one 
of the wonderful rivers in the country and its length is over 1000 kilometres. 
But Russia has got around 325 kilometres in share. The remaining length is 
shared by the other regions through it is flowing.
I usually visit the river in the evening of weekends. In fact, the river is around 
50 kilometres away from my home. So, I need a drive over half an hour to 
reach the river bank. But once, I am there, the view removes my tiredness and 
makes me feel refreshed. Besides, I try to pay a visit whenever I can manage 
time. But unluckily I cannot manage time more than once or twice in a month. 
It is my business that does not allow me to spend some lazy hours by the side 
of the river and make a small picnic with near and dear ones. 
Usually, I sit by the side of the river bank and enjoy the nature. Sometimes I try 
to catch fish. But my luck is not always favourable to me. I am unable to get 
some large-sized fishes while the other members, who accompany me there, 
can have the best pieces. Besides, swimming in the river is the other preferable 
activity for me. When I get in touch of the cold water, I feel a sense of joy 
inside me. Further, taking lunch under the shade of trees and then passing 
moments by chatting with friends is really enjoyable there. In fact, I have 
formed a group of seven people who eagerly wait for the weekend and plan 
various activities to do on the spot.
My experience in the bank of Daugava River is wonderful. Actually, I am 
charmed with the natural scenario. The flowing river enchants the mind. On 
the other side, some of its parts are deteriorated by the agricultural wastes 
and pollution. But initiatives to improve the locations are underway too. 
Though the river mouth was the place of settlement in the early days, now 
there are various changes available. Formerly, the River was a trading route 
and now it is a place for entertainment. Whenever I go there, I try to visit the 
surrounding nice locations as well to be relaxed. Swimming on the water was 
also an interesting experience for me. So, I am in love with this place.
