I think lots of students like the pop singer named Jay. I also like him very much.

Do you know as a boy, Jay was called Dull Stupid. But his mother noticed that the quiet, shy boy seemed to dance practically when he heard the Western pop music. His mother sent him to a piano school when he was four. When he grows up, he has an ability for playing the piano beyond(超過) his years. I learned to play the piano from 7 years old to 13 years old. I often feel bored when I practice playing the piano. But Jay was always crazy about playing the piano. I think he really likes music. So I admire him very much, and I call him “hero”.

I admire Jay. The real reason is when the others all denied(否定) him, he never gave up. He tried his best to change his life. I think it is good for everybody. I hope that everyone can learn from him—try our best to do everything. Then I think we will be the winners.

Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. This is about the family standing ahead of us.

The family had eight children. Their clothes were not expensive but clean.

The children were well-behaved. They stood in line, two by two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night. You could tell that they had never been to the circus before.

The tickets lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly replied, “I want eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets please, so I can take my family to the circus”.

The ticket lady quoted(報(bào))the price. The man stopped holding his hand. The man’s lips started to quiver(顫抖). He leaned toward her and asked again, “How much did you say?”

The ticket lady quoted the price again. The man didn’t have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he couldn’t take them to the circus.

My dad put his hand into his pocket, pulling out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground, though we weren’t rich. Then he reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.”

The man knew what was going on. He looked into my dad’s eyes, he replied, “Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
