The Soliloquy of Floating Single Log

I learn that an English essay, academic essay, should follow 5-paragraph essay structure in Canadian High School. As well. in Taiwan, students have to follow the four steps of composition: introduction, explanation of the theme, transition to another view, and summing up.

I think the different requirement is I can chose one topic from two or three in my English writing test here, so lucky! Comparatively, in Taiwan, students get only one. That is, they have no choice; every one has the same opportunity, but are Taiwanese teachers less creative to give the question? I suppose not. For students, to comprehend what the question has been given before writing is very important.

Today I heard that the theme of university pretest, which is an important exam similar to BC provincial exam, is "The soliloquy of floating single log."(so hard for me to translate Chinese to English) How romantic Taiwanese teachers are, I think! I really have no idea when I read it because it's too difficult to interpret. ...Maybe, if I were the log, I might say, “Leave me alone; I want a home!” This world has been noisy, polluted and so many homeless… or the log should say like Hamlet, “To be or not to be...” Maybe it's not the log, it's the students who are taking the exam should say.
