Lead in Lead in Suppose now you face two roads in front of you, and you have to choose one of them while you have no idea where either of them will lead you to. Which road will you take? why? Lead in Facing two unknown roads, I think I’d choose the one that feels “less familiar” to me—maybe the one with a steeper slope, wilder vegetation, or a direction that arouses my curiosity a little more. The reason isn’t about predicting a “better” outcome (since I can’t know that), but about embracing the nature of choice itself. Life’s most vivid lessons often come from stepping into uncertainty. If both roads are unknown, the one that feels slightly more challenging is likely to teach me more: maybe I’ll learn to notice details I’d miss on an easier path, or discover strengths I didn’t know I had.

Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Expressions Speaking “The Road Not Taken” presents the poet and the reader with a dilemma. The central message is that in life we are often presented with choices. When making a choice, one is required to make a decision. Viewing a choice as a fork in a path, we understand that we can only choose one direction or another, but not both. Any person who has made a choice will agree that it is human nature to contemplate “What if...” about the direction you did not choose. But who knows what the future holds down the road? The poet implies that when he is older, he might look back at this turning point in his life—the morning he took the road less travelled, because taking that particular route altered his life in some way. Possible answer Speaking A: The poem “The Road Not Taken” is great. I like Robert Frost’s honest and direct style in this poem. It feels conversational—like he is speaking to me. Do you know what I mean? B: Definitely! Throughout the poem the speaker uses the word ‘I’, so he seems to be telling me his own experiences. When reading it, I feel like I am also walking in those woods. A: I agree! I also like Frost’s way of using rural scenes to explore the deep questions about life. He uses the metaphor of the two roads to describe the issue of making choices. At the start of the poem, the speaker sounds resigned while the imagery captures his feelings of uncertainty and regret very well. But by the end of the poem, we know he has accepted his choice, which is wonderful! Example Speaking B: Are you saying that because making decisions is sometimes difficult, we should accept the feelings we have and trust in the choice we’ve made? A: Yes, and I can relate to the poem because I came across two diverging roads recently. B: What happened? A: Well, I had to make a decision whether to continue violin lessons or calligraphy classes. I just started calligraphy and I’ve been learning the violin for eight years already. Unfortunately I don’t have enough time for both. Example Speaking B: Which one did you choose? A: I chose calligraphy because it interests me even though I am not very good at it. B: Do you mean that you chose “the one less traveled by”? A: Exactly! I wonder if choosing it will make all the difference to my life! B: I’m sure it will! Example 05. Writing Writing Write an article about your understanding of “The Road Not Taken”.

Work in pairs checking Writing Possible version Understanding “The Road Not Taken” “The Road Not Taken” is a poem written by Robert Frost, a famous American poet. Frost is known for his honest and direct style which makes his poems feel conversational. This poem uses the first person perspective throughout, such as in the first stanza, “And be one traveler, long I stood”, so the speaker is sharing his own experiences with us. Frost also uses rural scenes to explore deep questions about life, and metaphor and imagery are employed to represent the feelings we have when faced with decisions. In the first stanza, the readers are asked to visualize diverging roads as the choices we are faced with. Then it continues to connect with emotions we feel during the decision - making process. For example, regret is expressed in the line, “And Writing Possible version sorry I could not travel both”. The second and third stanzas focus on the explanations we give for the choices we have made. The speaker justifies his choice of taking the more mysterious road, when he says, “Because it was grassy and wanted wear”. But, in stanza three we know that he is still thinking about the other more traveled road when he says, “Oh, I kept the first for another day!” However, by the final stanza, the speaker expresses acceptance of his choice, “I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference.” Just as in our lives, we should accept the choices we make. Writing Possible version This poem makes me recall a time when I had come across two diverging roads in my life. I had to choose between continuing my violin lessons and taking calligraphy classes. Calligraphy was “the one less traveled by” for me because I had just started learning it, and that is the one I selected. I am wondering if choosing it will make all the difference to my life. It seems that I will find out as I continue down this path. 06.
