Blog #7 An Improtant Person


Since growing up, i don't remember many people has influenced me, except my parents. However, there is a person always in my mind if you let say a improtant person who has impressed me in chinese history. His name is Laien Zhou. I can say every one in china deeply respect him, even though he is dead.

when I was about 8 or 9 years old, my teacher told us a story about him. On Jan 8 1976 when Laien Zhou was died, the United Nations'flag was raised to half-mast. Many people asked why Laien Zhou was the only person who the United Nations did for. Kurt Waldheim declared that the first reason was that he did not have savings in his account, and the second reason was that he did not have any child. Can you imagine that a national leader does not have a child? He did so many things that helped to improve living standards and development of economy.

If I get a chance to talk to him, I would like to ask him when you did these things for us, what did you think in your mind?

I dont think your first sentence is a good topic sentence. Because when I read it, it makes me think that you are going to talk about your parents. And the english name for our leader should be Enlai Zhou, not Laien Zhou. Another problem is you do not talk much about how this great figure affects your life.
