Question

【題目】請閱讀下面內容，并按照要求用英語寫一篇150詞左右的文章。

P= professor; S=students (In a philosophy class)

P: We all have this one life to live. A fleeting shadow amongst all that exists in this vast universe. We have the ability to accomplish anything, truly anything, if we use our time wisely.

P: (putting some golf balls into the jar) Is this jar full?

S: Yes.

P: (after add some pebbles into the jar) Is it full now?

S: Yes.

P: (after inserting some sand into the jar) How about now, is the jar full now?

S: Yes.

P: Good… (pouring some beer into the jar)

S: … (laughing, smiling, thinking, …)

P: Now I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things, your family, your friends, your health and your passions. The pebbles are the other important things, your car, your job, your home. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.

P: Now if you put the sand in the jar first you won’t have room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same is true in life. If you spend all your energy and your time on the small stuff, you won’t have time for all the really important things that matter to you.

P: Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Take care of the golf balls first. The really important things. Set your priorities. Because everything else is just sand.

S: Professor, what does the beer represent?

P: I’m glad you asked. It goes to show that no matter how full your life may seem to be, there is always room for a couple of beers with a friend.

Answer 1

【答案】A philosophy professor shares with his students the significance of a wise use of time. With a unique demonstration, he inspires them to prioritize the most important things over small stuff.

Personally, I do believe the professor reveals the true nature of life. We only have 24 hours a day, so it's unrealistic to include everything precious in our life. A wise sequence is therefore crucial to our wellbeing. Just as is shown in the demonstration, when life is stuffed with small things, big and meaningful ones will remain unfulfilled.

This principle can actually be followed in our study. For example, to efficiently acquire some knowledge, a global image of it should come first before we dive into small details Our study time should also be wisely allocated, addressing those important or difficult subject rather than small ones first. Never forget, being penny-wise but pound-foolish is never a good strategy in study.
