Question

请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于50。
In your spoken English class, your teacher shows you the following picture. You are asked to describe the picture and explain how you understand it.

Answer 1

In the picture, a huge elephant is walking leisurely forward and above it is a small bird flying gaily ahead. There is a second bird following them. But to my surprise, instead of accompanying the bird in flight, it tries hard to follow in the tracks of the elephant.
What the picture conveys to us is that with a powerful influence of a big shot like the elephant, some people go their own way like the bird in flight, while others blindly struggle to copy the big shot and get nowhere, like the bird making every effort to follow in the elephant’s footsteps. Therefore, in the course of pursuing our dreams, we should be aware and make the best of our own strengths rather than stumble behind others embarrassedly ignoring our own strong points.
