Discussion
What message do you think the poem is trying to get across to readers
"The Road Not Taken" suddenly presents the poet and the reader with a dilemma. The central message is that, in life, we are often presented with choices. When making a choice, one is required to make a decision. Viewing a choice as a fork in a path, it becomes clear that we can only choose one direction or another, but not both. Any person who has made a decisive choice will agree that it is human nature to contemplate the “What if ...” of the choice you did not make.
But who knows what the future holds down the road The poet implies that, when he is older, he might look back at this turning point in his life, the morning he took the road less travelled, because taking that particular route completely altered his way of being.
Have you ever been in a similar situation Connect your personal experience with the poem.
Yes. Standing at a crossroad, with four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge on where I should go, I don’t really know where a road will lead me until I take it. The only thing I have power over is the decisions that I will make, and how I will react to different situations.

One possible version:
The Road Not Taken is a poem by American poet Robert Frost. This poem describes a situation where the writer needs to choose from two roads. The "roads" not only refer to the real roads he meets while walking in the yellow woods, but also symbolize different directions in life. The choice has such a big impact on our life that we hesitate a lot at the crossroads.
In my opinion, everyone is a traveler on our journey through life. Once we make a choice, we have little chance to go back, so what we need to do is embrace the future actively rather than sigh for the past.
