Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should 1)describe the picture briefly, 2)explain the intended meaning and 3)give your point of view.
【正确答案】正确答案: The picture gives a vivid description that the same fish, put into two different-sized aquaria, faces different situations. It is the natural leader dominating all the tiny fish in the small aquarium while it becomes a follower subordinated to other bigger fishes in the larger water world. Similarly, we are faced with such circumstances in the human society and have ever been in a dilemma whether to stick to the familiar conditions or change to a new or even more undesirable setting. The imaginary figure Dumbledore in the movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets said, "It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices." I partly agree with his opinion. More often than not, our lifestyle is determined by the choices we make accumulatively. However, our abilities are never of little influence as said—they direct the choices we may make. As for me, I would rather choose to be a small fish at first in the bigger pond, where I exert myself to find and develop and practice my abilities. When time ripe, I would build new frontiers—my own little pond which is to develop into a wider one with my sustained efforts.
