第５問
Your English teacher has told everyone in your class to choose a short
story in English to read. You will introduce the following story to your
classmates, using a worksheet.
Becoming an Artist
Lucy smiled in anticipation. In a moment she would walk onto the stage and
receive her prize from the mayor and the judges of the drawing contest. The
microphone screeched and then came the mayor’s announcement. “And the
winner of the drawing contest is… Robert McGinnis! Congratulations!”
Lucy stood up, still smiling. Then, her face blazing red with embarrassment,
abruptly sat down again. What? There must be a mistake! But the boy named
Robert McGinnis was already on the stage, shaking hands with the mayor and
accepting the prize. She glanced at her parents, her eyes filled with tears
of disappointment. They had expected her to do well, especially her father.
"Oh Daddy, I'm sorry I didn't win," she whispered.
Lucy had enjoyed drawing since she was a little girl. She did her first
drawing of her father when she was in kindergarten. Although it was only
a child's drawing, it really looked like him. He was delighted, and, from
that day, Lucy spent many happy hours drawing pictures to give to Mommy and
Daddy.
As she got older, her parents continued to encourage her. Her mother,
a busy translator, was happy that her daughter was doing something creative.
Her father bought her art books. He was no artist himself, but sometimes
gave her advice, suggesting that she look very carefully at what she was
drawing and copy as accurately as possible. Lucy tried hard, wanting to
improve her technique and please her father.
It had been Lucy's idea to enter the town drawing contest. She thought that
if she won, her artistic ability would be recognized. She practiced every
evening after school. She also spent all her weekends working quietly on her
drawings, copying her subjects as carefully as she could.
Her failure to do well came as a great shock. She had worked so hard and her
parents had been so supportive. Her father, however, was puzzled. Why did
Lucy apologize at the end of the contest? There was no need to do so. Later,
Lucy asked him why she had failed to win the competition. He answered
sympathetically, "To me, your drawing was perfect." Then he smiled, and
added, "But perhaps you should talk to your mother. She understands art
better than I do."
Her mother was thoughtful. She wanted to give Lucy advice without damaging
her daughter's self-esteem. "Your drawing was good," she told her, "but I
think it lacked something. I think you only drew what you could see. When I
translate a novel, I need to capture not only the meaning, but also the
spirit of the original. To do that, I need to consider the meaning behind
the words. Perhaps drawing is the same; you need to look under the surface."
Lucy continued to draw, but her art left her feeling unsatisfied. She
couldn't understand what her mother meant. What was wrong with drawing what
she could see? What else could she do?
Around this time, Lucy became friends with a girl called Cathy. They became
close friends and Lucy grew to appreciate her for her kindness and humorous
personality. Cathy often made Lucy laugh, telling jokes, saying ridiculous
things, and making funny faces. One afternoon, Cathy had such a funny
expression on her face that Lucy felt she had to draw it. "Hold that pose!"
she told Cathy, laughing. She drew quickly, enjoying her friend's expression
so much that she didn't really think about what she was doing.
When Lucy entered art college three years later, she still had that sketch.
It had caught Cathy exactly, not only her odd expression but also her
friend's kindness and her sense of humor- the things that are found under
the surface.
