When there are some guests at home, he always offers to perform several songs for them.I have to say he is the cutest child I have ever seen. We all love him very much because he is so extrovert Part 3❖Who do you think is luckier? Children in the past or at present?I can hardly generalize which generation is happier. Children in the past may not have as many toys as they have now. But with the fast economic development, children today seem to be confined to their homes which may prevent them from getting close to the nature.❖What’s the influence or pressure brought to children by their schools or parents?I often hear people say that they feel children today are facing too much stress. And they always emphasize how happy they were 30 years ago, because they could always have fun after class. But nowadays,children have to do so much homework after they go home. Of course children want to have fun, but they are forced by their parents and schools to fulfill their ambitions. In my opinion, this is quite unfair for children.❖What do you think of the education in primary schools in China?I don’t know much about the education in primary schools nowadays. But I remember when I was young, I did not like going to school at all. Because teachers were too strict with students when they failed to get a high mark in exams.❖What did you like to do when you were a child?I liked listening to story tapes. I always listened to different stories over and over again until I could retell the whole story.Famous Person Model OneIntroduction:I first watched his movie / game (when)______Body example:1. a movie / a gameHe starred as _____ in (电影名)______.He attend _____ match when _________2.

It was a movie made in 1993. He co-starred as the mentallyhandicapped brother to Jonny Depp in What’s eating G ilbert Grape. He was so excellent that I thought he was really mentally disabled for a long time. His performance earned him both Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for best supporting actor (actor, actress, supporting actress). The move from “star” to “superstar” came when DiCaprio played Jack Dawson in the 1997 film Titanic, which soon became the most successful film of all time and received 11 Oscars . In fact, he was so famous at that time that some critics even created a word “Leo-Mania” to describe his super popularity. The previous one who was dubbed “mania” was the Beatles in 1960s, known as the “Beatles-Mania”.I think he can stand where he is now because he is a person who’s never satisfied with his current status. When people said he gained fame by his pretty face, he put on weight quickly; when people said he was only a shallow movie star, he made a documentary to arouse people’s concern of protecting our environment. So I guess people like him not only because of his movies, but also because of his environmental concerns.In a word, I think Leo can always give you new surprises. And that’s why I like him very much.Part 3❖What kind of characters do you like in the movies?I like some one who can not be simply defined as good or bad. He may does a lot of bad things. But in the end, people find that he turns to be a bad guy because he has a very painful childhood. I like characters that present the complexity of human nature.❖What’s the influence of movies on children?Children are always vulnerable. When they watch movies about love and care, they’ll learn to treat others nicely; but if they watch movies full of violence, it is definitely not a good thing for them.❖Do you think movie star’s life style is changing people’s lives?Yes. The most obvious example is more Chinese people are getting used to wearing jeans because we watched so many movies in which the beautiful actress and handsome actors are always wearing jeans.❖Do you think government should control what movie can be shown?I think government should set different rates to classify different movies. For example, some movies are with complicated content, but they may have too many violent scenes. In that case, this kind of movies should be rated as only for adults.Sports Star/Leader/Successful personYao is a professional basketball player who plays for the Houston Rockets of NBA.Yao was born in Shanghai. He started playing for the Shanghai Sharks as a teenager, and he played on their senior team for five years in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), winning a championship in his final year. He entered the 2002 NBA draft, and was selected by the Houston Rockets as the first overall pick of the draft. Since then, American basketball fans have noticed that there was a Chinese face appearing in their basketball courts.I like him very much because he’s a very hard working person. The disappointing truth is that the Rockets have not advanced past the first round of the playoffs since he joined the team, and he has missed significanttime due to injury in the past years. However, you can see he’s always training hard under such a great pressure.I assume he’s a person who will never give up easily. That’s why I like him.Part 3❖What sports do you often do?I seldom do sports. But I sometimes walk home. You can count it as my favorite sport, I guess.❖Do you think it is reasonable for sports stars to earn much more money than others？I think it’s reasonable. Because when you are valuing how mu ch money a person gets, the most important standard is to measure how much he creates. People are willing to pay money to see their favored sports stars. So considering how many people they attract, it’s reasonable for sports stars to get a high income.❖Why are there so many fans in favor of one team?I guess people love watching sports games because we all want to see someone do something we ourselves can never do. These people have created miracles just in front of us. The more fantastic their performance is, the more fans they’ll attract.❖Do you think sports stars should behave themselves?Yes. Sports stars are symbols of healthy life. If you find a famous sports star is actually a drug addict, you can imagine how disappointed people will feel. A recent case is the famous Olympic champion, Michael Phelps.。
