Question：
The people I admire is Madame Curie. Madame Curie is a famous Chemist and Madame Curie discovered radium. There’s many reason I admire she. First I also want to be a chemist. Even is hard and dangers. But in my opinion chemistry is also interesting : to find out what our world made of. The second reason I admire is she’s very hardworking. Just like what she says: “ I am going to put life into scientific dream, then the dream to reality”. she charmed by laboratory when she go in to first time. And she meet her husband Pierre. Day by day ,year by year she be came to a famous woman. And she discovered radium. The last reason I admire she is when she find radium she not and never tell the world. If she tell ,she will be more famous and rich. But she know what will happened if they tell the world. So she keep the secret deep in heart to she dead. She dead is in her plan, because so many radioactive element in her body. Madame Curie dead for science. In the end, I want to use Madame Curie’s famous remark: On the way to successes, thing that is outflow not sweat but blood, there name is not a pen but written in life.

I admire Macklemore. He is a Rapper from Seattle. He is a person that love for other people. From the social identity and status, Macklemore is a person that under the oppression and discrimination.He once took drugs,during that time,his reputation falls a lot and from that time,he realized his errors and mended just like Robert Downey Jr..After he succeed in rehabilitation he started to write songs to those nigger.Now he was described as a singer who pays attention to the social.Most of his songs comes down to consumerism, racial equality, gender equality and drug addicition. I was attracted by him deeply.
