问答题
Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should
1) describe the drawing briefly,
2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) give your comments.
【正确答案】As is vividly illustrated in the drawing, a ting seed is left in the fissure, suffering more from the rough environment. What amazes us is that it is growing with full strength and vigor. Below the drawing reads the title "Hope" in Chinese. Obviously, the picture intends to convey to us the significance of hope, or optimism in adversity.
When we are confronted with pains and setbacks in our lives, our attitude makes a difference between success and failure. It is not exaggerating to say that attitude is everything. When you are stuck in grave situations, an optimistic attitude will motivate you to try various means and fight for a way out. On the contrary, if you feel pessimistic towards hardship, you will achieve nothing but failure. Adversity may overwhelm those frightened but not those optimistic and determined. The May 12th earthquake, for instance, did not frustrate a great many people who cherish the .hope and optimism to survive. Here we see the miracle of optimism.
As can be gathered from the drawing, it is highly sensible that we be optimistic in any circum stances. With this message firmly kept in our mind, we will definitely grow up into a towering tree some day.
