Directions: In your essay, you should 1) describe the drawing briefly, 2) explain its intended meaning, and then 3) support your view with an example/ examples.
It is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon that a striker is preparing to shoot at the goal defended by a goalkeeper on a football field. In the goalkeepers mind, he is so much smaller than he actually is that guarding the goal becomes a mission impossible. On the contrary, the giant guard seems to fail up the whole goal in the attacking players mind. The purpose of the drawing is to show us that in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges or predicament, possessing self-confidence is of utmost significance. Regardless of how much success one has had in school or at work, there are bound to be times when he or she wiil encounter problems. It is at these critical times that his self-confidence, toward difficulty and life in general, eventually plays a crucial role in determining whether he can turn failure into victory. I can think of no better illustration than the following one. Helen Keller was deaf, dumb and blind, certainly, nothing to give her self-confidence. Nevertheless, she went on to conquer her multiple handicaps to finally become a writer and lecturer, to become an inspiration to all. This case effectively clarifies that no matter what tasks we are confronted with, we should never overestimate the difficulties or underestimate our abilities.
这幅漫画生动地描述了足球场上的一名前锋正准备将球射入守门员把守的球门。在守门员看来,比起实际的身材自己渺小很多,以至于守门变成一件不可能完成的任务。相反,在再那名前锋眼里,这位巨人守门员几乎占据了整个球门。 这幅漫画的目的是要告诉我们在看似不可克服的挑战与困境面前,最重要的是拥有自信。无论一个人在学校或工作上曾经如何成功,总有一天他会遭到难题。关键时刻,正是他对困境和人生的自信最终决定他能否反败为胜。 没有什么比下面这个例子更有说服力。海伦.凯勒聋哑失明,没有什么可以让她自信。但她不断克服多种障碍,最终成为了作家和教师,成为世人的楷模。这个例子清楚证明了无论面临何种任务,我们绝不能高估困难或低估自己的能力。
