2. He took the less travelled road even though he was uncertain whether he had made the right choice. The lines that show his attitude are: “I doubted if I should ever come back.” and “I shall be telling this with a sigh”．
3. I see a peaceful wood in the countryside, where few people go. I see this image from the following words and expressions: “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood”， “it bent in the undergrowth”， “it was grassy and wanted wear”， “In leaves no step had trodden black”， etc.
4. The road itself symbolizes the journey of life. The image of the road forking off into two paths symbolizes the choices and opportunities we are presented with, which ultimately lead us into the unknown future that lies ahead of us.

Activity 4
One possible version:
“The_Road_Not_Taken”_is_a_poem_by_Robert_Frost. He is a famous American poet, who is known for his honest and direct style to make his poems feel conversational.
This poem describes a situation where the writer needs to choose from two roads. These “roads” not only refer to the real roads he meets while walking in the yellow wood, but also symbolize different directions in life. The choice has such a big impact on our life that we hesitate a lot at the crossroads.
In my opinion, everyone is a traveller on our journey through life. Once we make a choice, we have little chance to go back, so what we need to do is embrace the future actively rather than sigh for the past.
