　　提示：經(jīng)確認，這個話題卡要求考生描述一個Sculpture(雕塑)，或者其他形式的Work of art(藝術(shù)品)。生活中有很多東西可以用來取材。比如：大學(xué)校園里的毛主席塑像，兵馬俑，佛像等等。如果是藝術(shù)品就更多了：玉器，油畫，書法等。

　?、?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.

　?、?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.

　?、?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.
