Sports star

To be frank, I’m not quiet interested in the stories about sports stars, and I’m not an expert in the sport field either. Because it always takes time and energy to follow those sports stars’ news everyday. But that does not mean I don’t like sports stars. In fact, I do respect all those sports stars that show great games for the audiences. Their excellent skills tell people that we human beings have some kinds of abilities that are different from all other species and that we could reach a new and high level if only we could put our heart and soul into practice. And that’s why I believe we have the slogan of Faster, Higher, and Stronger in the Olympic Games. And most sports stars, as I understand, tend to have a hard life when they were young. However, they made great efforts in sports practice and finally made their dreams a reality and they are really a kind of encouragement as well as good examples for young people around the world. 

My Idol

Like most young students, I have got my own idols too. And I’m particularly interested in successful business people, like Jack Ma, the CEO of the Alibaba Group. He was born into an ordinary family in Hangzhou in 1964 and, he graduated from a college with a bachelor degree. Jack Ma founded Alibaba after his first visit to America when computers and the internet were hardly known among ordinary people in China and later Alibaba turned out to be quiet successful in E-business and, it now has become one of the largest B2B websites around the world. At the same time, Alibaba’s success has won Jack Ma opportunities to give speeches in the world famous universities, such as the Harvard University. Jack majored in English and he used to be an English teacher, so there is obviously no problem in his communication with his foreign friends. And sometimes I do think he is a good example for students like me who always complain there is no way out for English majors, you know my major is English too, teachers might be business men some day and all we have to do is to get ourselves prepared.
