Answer 1

【答案】Seizing an opportunity is the first and most important step towards success. We often hear someone complaining that they can’t succeed because of lack of opportunities just like the two hunters in the picture. While they are arguing about the best way to cook a swan if they catch one, a swan is flying over the head of them. Obviously, they will miss this swan if they keep arguing instead of shooting it.

This picture reminds me of some people in real life who always think about what they will gain if they have an opportunity to do a particular thing. While they are imagining, opportunities are passing by them. The opportunity is an important factor contributing to one’s success. However, it only smiles on those who have great intelligence and are well prepared for it.

Therefore, if we want to achieve success, what we should do is get well prepared to take advantage of good opportunities and once a chance appears / comes along , we should try our best to seize it without hesitation. (164 words)
