参考答案

下面给小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

A difficult challenge I met was preparing the GAOKAO, which was the college entrance examination in China.

一个我曾经遇到的困难的挑战就是准备高考，它是中国的大学入学考试。

This exam has been considered the biggest and most essential exam for most senior high students in mainland China. It’s also regarded as the fairest way of providing higher education opportunities to students. My challenge was to get ready for the exam and score high as much as possible because the better score I got the higher-ranked university I will be matriculated.

这考试被视为在中国大陆对大多数高中生来说最 大最重要的考试。它也被视为一场为学生提供高等教育机会最公平的一种方式。我的挑战就是准备好这场考试并尽可能获取高分数，因为越高的分数就越会被排名更好的大学录取。

I met this challenge since I started the first day of my senior high school, and it’s getting tougher when I was in the final year. You know, it’s basically an examination of memorization. We were supposed to memorize a lot of knowledge from the subjects including English, Chinese, Geography, Politics, and History. My biggest headache was Geography, which was considered as a combination of arts and sciences, which consumed me a lot of time and I still couldn’t comprehend all the knowledge bits from the textbooks.

我从踏入高中的第1天开始就遇到了这个挑战，而且在我最后一年的时候挑战更加艰难了。它本质上是一种考验记忆力的考试。我们得记忆包括英文、汉语、地理、政治和历史等学科中的很多知识。我最头疼的地方在于地理学科，它被称作是文理科的结合体， 耗费了我大量的时间，而且我依然无法完全理解教科书中的知识点。

Well, the reason why I think it’s a challenge for me was that the Gaokao preparation was intensive, which took time and effort to get fully prepared. Obviously, I always felt the time was never enough for me. Another reason why it’s challenging was that, in this exam, I was not competing against myself only, I was actually fighting for an offer against tens of thousands of candidates in our area, which was extremely stressful for me.

我认为它是我的一个挑战，因为高考备考很强化，需要花大量时间和精力去充分准备。显然，时间对我来说总是不够。另一个原因是因为我不仅仅在和我自己竞争，我是在和上万的考生一起竞争大学录取通知书，这对我来说极其有压力。
