Question

请你根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于50。

       In an English class, you are asked to describe the following picture and explain how you understand it.

Answer 1

In the picture, a boy is trying hard to push forward the hour hand of the clock while an old man is making a great effort to push backward the minute hand of the same clock. Both of them are trying their best, but in the opposite directions.

       The picture shows different attitudes of the old and the young towards time. The old wish that time could slow down, because for them, time is life. Thy know well how important time is. As time flies, their life will gradually come to an end. On the other hand, the young want time to speed up just because they are eager to grow up soon. They haven’t realized the importance of time as the old do.

       However, time treats everyone equally. It can go neither faster nor more slowly. And just as the saying goes, “Time and tides wait for no men.”Therefore, as young people, we should make the best of our present time to fulfill our dreams or we will regret it in the future.
