3. Are famous sportspeople good examples for young people to copy? Yes, definitely! I think a lot of famous athletes can be great role models, because they are
hard-working, motivated, and persistent. These champions never give up, and this is a great
message to pass on to children. In addition, they can make children dream, and it's important for
them to have goals and ambitions. In China, many teenagers regard Kobe Bryant or Yao Ming as
their idols
．
These celebrities represent an ideal for children. They also show great values
．
For
instance, everyone knows that Yao Ming is very considerate
and generous. He donated a lot of money to charity in the past. Young people can learn a lot from
him.
4. What part does competition play in other areas of people's lives? Well, young people in China know that they will have to compete in their future life. First of
all, at school they must get better results than others if they want to have a chance to enter a
prestigious university. College graduates must then compete to find a good job
．
Nowadays, it is
quite challenging because of the huge population in China and the economical crisis, and of course
employers have also become more demanding. So people have to be ready to compete on the job
market. Later on, when they have a job, they might need to compete in order to make more money.
Many positions require workers to attract more customers to their company and to find better
marketing strategies
．
If you are not competitive, you will lose your job. Finally, you might also
need to compete to charm the lady (or the guy) you have fallen in love with…
5. Do you think that society will become more competitive or less competitive in the future? I don't see how things could get less competitive. Young people have very high expectations
，
and everyone wants to succeed in order to lead a better life
．
In terms of business, it will be
essential to be more creative than others to make money. I think that students will also be required
to study harder to achieve their goals
．
It seems like life is going to be tough
（ ＝
difficult) for
everyone.
