壮志未酬
Describe an ambition that you haven’t achieved You should say:
What it is
Why you haven’t achieved it What you did
And how you felt about it
题目解析:
本题需要描述的是一个“你未能达成的志向”。ambition 这个词的英文释义是“a strong desire to do or achieve something”。所以在选取描述对象的时候,我们需要选取自己特别想要达成的人生目标。此外,本题在描述时需要特别注意时态选取的准确性。题干中使用了“现在完成时”和“一般过去时”,所以比较准确地说,这个“目标”的状态是“尚未实现”。所以我们可以根据话题卡下面具体小问题中使用的时态,来确定自己需要使用的时态。最后,在描述本题的过程中,我们需要使用到一系列表示情绪变化的表达,来展现“壮志未酬”的复杂情绪。
Sample Answer
Well, I've been dreaming of becoming a doctor someday. I've always enjoyed helping people out and receiving their gratitude and being a doctor might well be the biggest help I could offer to people because you're literally saving people's lives as well as their families.
You know, it's really tough to become a doctor. You have to be near perfect in every course you take in college so you can be eligible for medical school application, which is arguably the toughest part of all, and after you graduate, you need to pass a licensing exam to practice legally. If that's not enough, you still have to go through years of intern before you officially earn the title of "staff doctor", which means you can practice independently.
So far, I'm still in my second year of college, so this is a long way to go. I'm fully aware that I should not aim high, so I've been working things out one step at a time. I've been planning my university curriculum to make full use of time, therefore optimizing my GPA, in addition to actively volunteering at the hospital to gain experience in the field of healthcare.
I understand that this is a challenging and risky ambition to fulfill, but I'm willing to take on the challenge and I look forward to seeing how things go from now on.
