参考范文:
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.
