一、作文题目
题目:你的英国朋友Alex很难读懂中国诗句“山重水复疑无路,柳暗花明又一村”,来信向你寻求帮助。请你结合自身例子给他回一封e-mail,谈谈你的理解。
二、范文全文
Dear Alex,
Glad to hear from you. I understand why you find this sentence difficult—it's a famous line by the ancient poet Lu You. It means that even when you think there's no way forward, a new path may appear if you keep going. It's similar to the English saying, "Every cloud has a silver lining."
Let me share my own experience. Last term, I joined the school English speech contest. I practiced hard, but when I stood on stage, I forgot my words and felt hopeless. I thought I would fail. However, I took a deep breath and tried to remember. Slowly, the words came back, and I finished my speech. To my surprise, I won second prize.
This experience taught me never to give up when facing difficulties. Hope this helps you understand the poem better.
Yours,
Li Hua
