Part 2: Describe a famous person you would like to meet

There are many famous people I know, but today I want to talk about a basketball player from the Los Angeles Lakers. His name is Kobe Bryant.

I first got to know him when I was ten years old. I was in primary school at that time. I quickly became his fan because I was really attracted by him. Unfortunately, he passed away in an accident, but his spirit still inspires me.

I have watched a lot of documentaries about him. I learned that he was famous for his strong goals. Once he had a target, he would pay a lot of time and energy to practice until he achieved it.

I not only want to learn basketball skills from him, but I also want to learn his spirit. In real life, when I face a huge challenge, I don't want to give up. I want to keep trying, just like him.

If I could meet him, I would ask him how he stayed so focused for so many years.

Part 2: Describe a city you have visited

There are many cities I want to visit again, such as Shanghai, Xi'an, and Guangzhou. But today I would like to talk about Beijing, the capital of China.

I went there when I was fourteen years old. I had just entered high school. I traveled there by plane with my family.

I did a lot of interesting things in Beijing. Firstly, I visited many historical sites, such as Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall. I think they are huge and magnificent. I was shocked by how pretty they were.

Secondly, I also enjoyed the beautiful landscapes. My family and I went to Xiangshan. We climbed the mountain and saw the beautiful scenery from the top. It was really beautiful.

We also tasted a lot of delicious dishes in Beijing, such as hot pot and Peking duck. Peking duck is the most famous, and it gave me the deepest impression. It was really delicious.

I think Beijing's culture is unique and very attractive. It is different from other cities, so I want to visit it again.

Part 3 补充表达：Fame and famous people

Question: Why do some people want to be famous?

Answer: Some people want to be famous because they want to make a lot of money. Famous people usually have a large salary, so they can afford to buy whatever they want. Other people chase fame because they want acknowledgment and reputation from others. Some researchers also want to be famous because it means their work has contributed to human society.

Question: Do you think fame changes people?

Answer: Yes, I think fame can change people in many ways. If someone suddenly gets rich, his spending habits might change. Some people may become too proud. Their ego grows, and they might turn into another person. Some people even take off their mask and show their true self, including their greed. Fame can bring out the dark side of their personality.

Question: Why does our society need famous people?

Answer: Famous people can inspire young people. For example, in basketball, many young players want to become Michael Jordan. Because of him, they spend a lot of time and energy practicing their skills. So famous people can motivate others to work hard and achieve things.

Part 3 补充表达：Modern cities and big cities

Question: Do people prefer to visit modern cities or historical sites?

Answer: It depends. If people live in a modern city full of skyscrapers, they may want to visit historical sites like Xi'an to see old traditional Chinese buildings. If they live in a historical city, they may want to visit a modern city like New York to experience a different lifestyle.

Question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city?

Answer: The biggest advantage is convenience. Big cities have a lot of facilities, such as hospitals, schools, and modern technology. If you get sick, you can go to the hospital quickly. However, the relationship between people can be weaker. People in big cities don't need to know their neighbors, and they are often too busy to get to know each other. They tend to be cold to each other. In the countryside, people spend more time with their neighbors and help each other all the time.
