01
Reading
Suppose you travel alone to such a wood and now have to choose one of the roads while you have no idea where either of them will lead you to, tell me which road you will take and explain why.
Lead-in
Possible answer:
I will take either road. Since life offers no guarantee and I will never know if my decisions are wrong until I have made them.
Lead-in
Appreciation
Are there any repeated words, rhymes or other special effects in this poem
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
What image appears in your mind when you read the poem
The Road Not Taken
Appreciation
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
黄色的树林里分出两条路，
可惜我不能同时去涉足，
我在那路口久久伫立，
我向着一条路极目望去，
直到它消失在丛林的深处。
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
然后，我踏上另一条路，
也许这个选择更为明智，
路上草丛茂盛，等候行人走过，
其实行人的足迹
在两条路上的踩踏，几乎一样。
The Road Not Taken
Appreciation
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
虽然那天清晨落叶满地，
两条路都未经脚印污染。
哦，把第一条路留给下次，
然而，我知道路径延绵无尽头，
我不知道是否还会重返原地。
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
也许多少年后在某个地方，
我将轻声叹息把往事回顾，
一片树林里分出两条路，
而我选了人迹更少的一条，
这个决定改变我的人生旅程。

Q1:What is the dilemma (困境)
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
黄色的树林里分出两条路，
可惜我不能同时去涉足，
我在那路口久久伫立，
我向着一条路极目望去，
直到它消失在丛林的深处。
Q2:How does the poet feel about the dilemma

Q3:Which road did the poet take
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
但我却选了另外一条路，
它荒草萋萋，十分幽寂，
显得更诱人、更美丽，
虽然在这条小路上，
都很少留下旅人的足迹，
Q4:Is it possible to locate the “two roads in a yellow wood”
Q5:What does the image of “the two roads” stand for

“The Road Not Taken” 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, we understand that we can only choose one direction or another, but not both.

Understanding “The Road Not Taken”
“The Road Not Taken” is a poem written by Robert Frost, a famous American poet. Frost is known for his honest and direct style which makes his poems feel conversational. This poem uses the first person perspective throughout, such as in the first stanza, “And be one traveler, long I stood”, so the speaker is sharing his own experiences with us. Frost also uses rural scenes to explore deep questions about life, and metaphor and imagery are employed to represent the feelings we have when faced with decisions. In the first stanza, the readers are asked to visualize diverging roads as the choices we are faced with. Then it continues to connect with emotions we feel during the decision-making process.
Sample
For example, regret is expressed in the line, “And sorry I could not travel both”. The second and third stanzas focus on the explanations we give for the choices we have made. The speaker justifies his choice of taking the more mysterious road, when he says, “Because it was grassy and wanted wear”. But, in stanza three we know that he is still thinking about the other more traveled road when he says, “Oh, I kept the first for another day!” However, by the final stanza, the speaker expresses acceptance of his choice, “I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference.” Just as in our lives, we should accept the choices we make.
Sample
This poem makes me recall a time when I had come across two diverging roads in my life. I had to choose between continuing my violin lessons and taking my calligraphy classes. Calligraphy was “the one less traveled by” for me because I had just started learning it, and that is the one I selected. I am wondering if choosing it will make all the difference to my life. It seems that I will find out as I continue down this path.
