雅思口语:an important historic event in your country (武则天)

(单词翻译:单击)
根据同学们考完雅思口语的反馈，历史上值得提出的大事件。仔细想想，如果武则天登基都排不上号，那我真是想不到有其他什么值得一提的事儿了。好多女孩子的梦想就是不努力也能当上武则天，好吧，不是梦想是幻想。不过不可否认，武则天的故事激励了很多女子发愤图强啊，虽然我们暂时无法改变国家领导人以及五百强CEO中没几个女性的事实……
但是问题来了，大多数人对武则天的了解都是从电视剧里面获得的，所以基本上就是《武则天秘史》的主题曲里唱道的：14岁进宫，24岁削发为尼，32岁成为大唐皇后，66岁登上女皇大位，82岁给自己立了一块无字碑。但是考官貌似从这个简介里看不到有什么重要的历史意义，所以作为答案，我们还得加上一般牛叉的帝王都会干的事情，例如扩张领土，重视教育，发展佛教之类的。最后如果再加点儿对现代人甚至是对自己的影响，时间绝对能满满的撑到两分钟！
Well, in my personal opinion, the most significant historical event is that Wu Zetian rose to power as the Chinese sovereign more than 1000 years ago. You might have heard this name, which is kind of a household name 'cause she was the only female empress who officially ruled China for decades.
Her life story is a legendary one full of ups and downs. And I learned that from textbooks and various TV shows and movies. It's hard to imagine how she managed to become the administrator of the court in that patriarchal society where men controlled everything. I mean, it's almost humanly impossible. However, she was a miracle worker. She made her way from an emperor's concubine to a Buddhist nun and then the empress of her husband's ninth son and finally to the ruler of an empire.
She was a woman of great leadership and personal charisma. During her reign, her political achievements were remarkable.
The great importance to history of her period of political and military leadership is the major expansion of the territory, which made the country more powerful. She also had a monumental impact on education, literature and Buddhism.
Besides, her story has been a great inspiration for women and girls like me on a more personal level. I mean, she's a living example of what women can achieve if you are determined and focused and willing to make necessary sacrifices.
So that's why I think her reign is of great significance, not only to history but also to modern society.
