雅思口语范文：印象深刻的故事
My favourite story is The Rickshaw Boy. I read this story
about five years ago, and I liked it so much that I read it
perhaps three more times. The author of this story is the
famous Lao She, and this book is so famous that it has been
translated into many languages, including English.
Basically, the story is about the living conditions of
rickshaw drivers in Beijing. It's kind of a social critique
of the way people were during that time. The story is a bit
complex, so I won't go through the plot but you do get a
sense of the injustice and hardships suffered by people
before liberation. The main character. is a man who had many
dreams and ambitions as a youth, but lost them along the way.
His life is thus a kind of struggle for survival and a
challenge to reconcile his lost ambitions.
I like this story best because it's full of sympathy for
ordinarily folk. Sometimes I feel we need to take a closer
look at the conditions of people in our lives. You know, I
guess you could say I came from a wealthier side of society,
and it's so easy to ignore the conditions of people who are
not so lucky as yourself. Also, this book reminds us how far
our society has progressed. We still have rickshaw drivers
and poor folk, but not nearly as many as during the time Lao
She was writing. People's lives are better now, but we
haven't yet reached the ideal state yet, so we had better
look after each other and treat each other as brothers and
sisters.
