run, A portion of a stream, often bounded by rapids or riffles where the water flows without turbulance.
stream, A small, long narrow flowing water with a beginning and end, which may overlap in size a creek. Most people would say they could jump over a stram.
creek (crick), Often a local term, usually the smallest river like body of water that is named (Johnson Creek). Most people would say that at least part of a creek is too wide to jump across
river, A bigger longer body of water that is usually made up of a number of streams, creeks, and other rivers coming into it. Most people would name a river as not being able to get across without a ford, boat or bridge.
gulf, A somewhat circular body of water off of a larger body of water most often salt water. Gulf of Mexico
bay, A somewhat circular body of water, usually smaller than a gulf, that can be fresh or salt water. Green Bay Wisconsin
straight, strait A more or less narraw body of water connecting two other more open bodies of water. The Strait of Gibralter.
fjord, A narrow deep canyon filled with water with mountains on the sides. Assumed to be a river canyon that was drowned later, most comon with the name in Norway. Called a Firth in Scotland
basin, A wider almost flat bottomed canyon, perhaps formed by glaciers.
ocean, a large body of salt water, perhaps larger than a sea
sea, a large body of salt water but not so big as an ocean, Salton Sea. Dead Sea
lake, a still body of fresh water more or less round except when formed by damming a river, in which case it is canyon shaped

Although they are all bodies or vessels of water, there a differences:
lake is a body of water surrounded by land, rivers or streams flow in a channel towards or emptying into a body of water such the ocean or a lake. A gulf is a stretch of sea with a deep inlet with a narrow mouth, in a bay the coast line curves inwards. A straight is a body of water that can connect to oceans such as the Magallean Straight.Fjord is a narrow inlet between two narrow, steep sides usually with a glacier the rest is up to you try Wikipedia

run- not sure, river- large body of flowing water on land, gulf- strip of flowing water in the sea, bay-a curve of land encompassing the sea, straight- a narrow strip of sea water, fjord- an inlet of sea water into land, basin- a pit in the land filled with water, sometimes in the craters of extinct volcanos, ocean- largest body of saltwater, sea- a smaller region of an ocean, lake- area of water completely surrounded by land. hope this helps.

I think Mike 1942 pretty much got it there. However to impress your teacher (I suppose) don't forget the little known bight. (yes, this is spelt correctly). It is like a gulf, but smaller in scale. An example is on the East Shore of Hudson Bay in Canada. It almost looks like a perfect semi-circle. Likely caused by a meteor, though that's still up for debate.
