Question

【題目】There was an ancient Chinese story. A naughty boy Mencius and his family lived next to the cemetery(墓地). Mencius liked to hold a funeral(葬禮) just like people around. Mencius’ mother took him and moved to a market. Then Mencius and his neighbors’ children learned to buy and sell meat. Finally, they moved again and lived next to a school. In this neighborhood, people treated each other politely. Mencius’ mother thought that was the right living place for her son.

The story tells us the importance of people around us. For students, they can be role models.

In a study, I interviewed some students at Bingham High School. These teens have lots of opinions about role models.

Teens need role models to provide direction. Jeff Pratt said, “To have a role model helps you to decide where you want to go with your life.” A role model shows what a teen’s life could be like in the future. “Role models are people you admire, and those people that help make you a good person.” This is Spencer Park’s opinion of who role models are and why it is important to have them.

A role model is “someone to look at and try to learn good qualities from,” said Natalie Bean.

When teens were asked “What is a role model like?”, the list included words such as, encouraging, inspiring, strong-willed, honest, ready to stand up for what they believe in, helpful, easy to talk to, talented and cheerful. Teens want to learn from their role models how to succeed and also how to carry on after failure.

Robbie Jenkins said, “Good role models are people that stand up for what is right and good.

Role models encourage and inspire.” Heidi Woolley said, “A good role model makes a teen do the best in school and in life and make much progress. Then he will have a good opinion of his own abilities and accept himself gradually. In this way, role models help build up a teen’s self-esteem.”

“The role models teens need are not the ones that appear in the media,” said Natalie Bean.

My study also shows students are quick to agree on that a true role model is not the person with the best job title, the greatest responsibility, or the greatest fame(名望). Anyone who inspires a child to achieve dreams in life can be a right role model.
