第 二 題

【說明】因題目未提供原兩段文章，本範文假設故事主角分別為「經歷多次破產仍重新站起的創業家（Sarah）」與「長年默默無聞且受同行質疑，最終研發出新藥的科學家（David）」進行擬答。 【範文】 Despite their contrasting fields, both individuals portrayed in the excerpts share a profound similarity: an unwavering determination in the face of daunting adversity. Sarah, an entrepreneur, and David, a medical researcher, both encountered monumental setbacks before tasting success. The primary difference lies in their trajectories. Sarah’s journey was characterized by high-risk leaps and sudden financial ruin, demanding a rapid capacity to pivot and rebuild. In contrast, David’s path was a slow, grueling marathon against peer skepticism and decades of obscurity, requiring meticulous, solitary dedication. Their shared successful traits are indomitable resilience and a visionary mindset. Personally, Sarah’s extraordinary resilience is the most inspiring. In a world that often stigmatizes failure, her ability to embrace bankruptcy not as a definitive defeat, but as a crucial stepping stone for learning, profoundly reshapes my perspective on setbacks. It teaches me that true grit is not about avoiding falls, but about the speed and grace with which one rises again.
