  Describe a sculpture or work of art that you have seen.

  提示:经确认,这个话题卡要求考生描述一个Sculpture(雕塑),或者其他形式的Work of art(艺术品)。生活中有很多东西可以用来取材。比如:大学校园里的毛主席塑像,兵马俑,佛像等等。如果是艺术品就更多了:玉器,油画,书法等。

  ① I can still remember the day I saw the Statue of Liberty when I was in New York 3 years ago.

  ② I was undertaking a trip to South Manhattan and took the ferry ticket to go to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The Statue of Liberty is a must-see as it's one of the most famous monuments in the world.

  ③ The Statue of Liberty was a gift of friendship from France to United States. It is indeed a giant figure, almost 93 meters tall, one of the tallest statues ever built. Lady Liberty's right hand holds a torch that is a symbol of liberty and her left hand clutches a stone tablet.

  ④ I thought the Statue of Liberty was waving to me. I was totally shocked, how breathtaking! I think for many it symbolized freedom and democracy. But what impressed me most was the stone tablet close to her chest (heart). The tablet actually stands for a book, and that book represents the power of knowledge. Knowledge is indeed power, and the power is potent to change and reform society. I can sense how vital it is for a nation to instill the knowledge to the hearts of the people.

  Anyway, this preeminent sculpture is worth to appreciate.
