176. Holidays honor people or events. If you could create a new holiday, what person or event would it honor and how would you want people to celebrate it? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
We have many holidays which honor people or event, such as Mar. 8th is International Woman’s Day, Feb. 14th is St. Valentine’s Day, Dec. 1st is World AIDS Day and so on. If I could create a new holiday, I would give this honor to Yao Ming, a Chinese basketball player, who is now in Houston Rocket. In the following discussion, I would like to reason and provide evidence to support my opinion.
The most important reason that I will first provide is that Yao Ming is modest. Yao Ming, who is the richest athlete in China, is kind to everyone, especially to fans. Most athletes in China who earn less than Yao Ming look down upon average people, even refuse to sign to fans. But Yao Ming doesn’t refuse anything what fans want. One of my co-workers met Yao Ming in Shanghai last year, she wanted to take a picture with him but she worried that Yao would refuse it. Unexpectedly, Yao agreed quickly and gladly. Yao Ming is also generous and righteous. Last year there was a terrible disease “SARS” in China, Yao was in America that time. But when he heard this awful event, he donated 500,000 RMB to China as disease fund. Don’t you think we will create a new holiday to honor him?
Another head and chief important reason that I have chosen to put here is that Yao Ming loves his country China, although he plays basketball in America. There is nothing more important than loving motherland, especially to who are not in their own countries. If there was an important basketball games competing between China and other countries which needed Yao Ming to join. He never refused and back to China as soon as possible even though he had to give up attending NBA games which could bring him high reputation and considerable earning. As a famous athlete, he believes that the benefit of nation is much higher than that of individual. Isn’t he a national hero in China?
Last but not the least reason is that Yao Ming studies English very hard although he has enough money to hire a permanent English interpreter. At the beginning, when he came to America, he knew little English so that he couldn't communicate with his coach and teammates if there was not an interpreter. But now, less than 2 years, his English improved quickly. His interpreter even worried that he would lose his job. Don’t you think that Yao Ming is our model who impulses us to study harder.
To sum up, given all the reasons discussed above. I believe you must make the same choice like me. Why don’t we create a holiday to celebrate this outstanding and excellent athlete, Yao Ming.
158. When famous people such as actors, athletes and rock stars give their opinions, many people listen. Do you think we should pay attention to these opinions? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
When it comes to the issue whether we should pay attention to the actors, athletes or rock stars’ opinions or not, different people have different views. If I was faced the same question, I would prefer to not pay more attention to these opinions which given by these famous people. In the following discussion, I would like to reason and provide evidence to support my viewpoint.
The most important reason that I cannot neglect is that we shouldn’t pay attention to famous people’s opinions just because of who they are. Some famous people make big in sports or entertainment world, but it doesn’t mean they are also professional in other fields. Can you pay attention to a medical opinion which given by a basketball player not by a doctor? Absolutely not, a basketball player is not familiar with medical field. How can he suggest which medicine can cure you? If you accepted his opinion just because of his fame, you would be probably sick more serious than before. If you can understand this, you can understand my view better.
Another chief and important reason that I have chosen to put here is that sometimes some famous people give their opinions only because they advertise for companies. Nowadays, more and more companies like to commission famous people as spokesmen for their products. They pay considerable money to these famous people who introduce their products on TV, on radio or on magazines. Can we believe these opinions? No, because famous people give these opinions only want to help companies sell their products. For example, they give us an opinion that one new sandwich or French fries are very delicious and healthy. But facts tell us, most fast foods are harmful to our health. Don’t you think this example is persuasive?
Last but not the least reason is that some famous people behave badly in public and they give harmful influences to our children. Such as Janet Jackson bared her chest in the performance, Moloan fought with competitor in the field and so on. Can we hear the opinions which given by these people who cannot control themselves?
To sum up, given all the reasons discussed above. We can safely reach the conclusion that we shouldn’t pay attention to these opinions which given by famous people. We should listen to more opinions which given by professional person. Don’t you support my view?
