Question

请阅读下面短文, 并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

There is a story telling of a religious master who is said to be capable of moving mountains. A man came to him asking for a demonstration. The master sat in front of a mountain for a moment, then went to the other said of it and declared the end of the demonstration. All the audiences were greatly puzzled and begged him for an explanation. He said, “There has never been a way of moving mountains; what you can do is to go to the mountain if it doesn’t come.”

One of my friends, though with the makings of a merchant, was bent on being a painter. He resigned from office and devoted himself entirely to painting at home. Several years, however, saw no progress in this regard.

A painful retrospection bought him to his senses. He made up his mind to take up business in place of painting. It took him only a few years to become a rich businessman. Meanwhile he spent his spare time exchanging experience and skills in painting and calligraphy. His works finally won acclamation by expert painters and were on sale in art gallery and grand hotels. He had his collections published and his dream of becoming a painter came true at last.

Answer 1

One possible version:

Today I read a story about a religious master and a painter who change themselves when they face something unchangeable and then achieve an eventual change of the world around them.

The story reminds me of me cousin who used to complain about English learning. He thought it unnecessary to learn a foreign language and ignored it at all. As a result, he fell behind the others in his class and even failed in the exam. After realizing that it was not only a compulsory subject but also the most widely spoken language in the world, he developed a good attitude. Thanks to his English teacher, he was well involved in English classes. He practiced listening and speaking English after class. What’s more, he kept an English diary, which helped him think in English. A year later, he became one of the top ten students in his class. Believe it or not, he even came out first in an English contest in his school.

As far as I’m concerned, change your attitude when you find the environment unchangeable. Only in this way can you achieve an eventual change of the world around you.
