- Whom Should I Follow
1 As I think about who might be my role model, I realize that there are a lot of people I know personally that I could look to for inspiration.But I am sharing these thoughts with others who most likely do not know my friend or my sister-in-law or the girl I work with. Therefore I think I should write about someone famous. But, it seems that these days there are not a lot of good role models to choose from, at least not from the “typical” choices that we usually think of as role models.
2 There are some standards that my role model must have. First, she must be close to my age. She has to have overcome some difficulties;in other words, she did not have her “celebrity” status handed to her. Finally, she must be helping others.
3 I believe that someone who fits those standards quite well is Oprah Winfrey.
4 Oprah Winfrey’s life had a very difficult beginning. She was born in 1954 to a poor, unmarried black girl. For a while, Oprah was raised by her grandmother, after her mother moved north. She later went to live with her father in Nashville, after having survived physical abuse and the birth and death of a baby of her own.
5 Oprah’s rise to fame began with her hosting morning talk shows, such as A. M. Chicago. She became so popular that in 1986 she started The Oprah Winfrey Show.Then Oprah began her own company and controlled The Oprah Winfrey Show.
6 In 1994, Oprah did something for which she gained my respect. She decided to break away from the style of other daytime talk shows and promised that her show would be free from sensational but meaningless topics. Her viewers responded positively, and her popularity went up.The Oprah Winfrey Show was centered on meaningful subjects, many of which were aimed towards women.
7 Oprah has used her popularity to start many meaningful projects. She started Oprah’s Book Club in 1996, intending to get the country excited about literature again.Oprah’s Angel Network was started in 1997, encouraging people to open their hearts to those in need.This includes a project to collect small change to send students to college.
8 Oprah has been able to share her good luck with others while keeping her promise to focus “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on subjects that will encourage her viewers.Each week her shows covered such topics as spirituality, fitness, relationships, steps towards financial freedom and more.
9 Winfrey’s talent for public performance and quick response in answering questions helped her win fame. Winfrey Talk Show had an estimated audience of 14 million daily in the U.S. She is also a successful actress and won an Academy Award nomination for her role in The Color Purple.
10 I admire Oprah because she seems to be “just a regular girl.” Once, I went to a lecture given by one of Oprah’s favorite authors. As we were sitting before the lecture began, a couple of black women walked in. My friend said, “Oh look, there’s Oprah.” I said, “No, it’s not.” She said, “Yes, it is.” Well, as it turns out, it was Oprah. She looked just like the rest of us. When the speaker introduced her, she was almost embarrassed to stand.
11 I feel Oprah is a really nice person, someone who would be a great girl friend. She knows where she is going. She has made a name for herself and knows the importance of sharing her good luck.
- 我应该仿效谁?
- 1 当考虑谁能做我的楷模的时候,我意识到我所认识的人中有不少都能给我以启发。但与我分享想法的人不会认识我的朋友、嫂子或那个与我一起工作的女孩。所以,我想应该写位名人。但现在似乎没有多少可供选择的优秀楷模,至少是没有多少我们通常所认为的具有“典型”意义的楷模。
- 2 我的楷模必须符合几条标准。首先,她必须和我年龄相仿。其次,她必须克服过一些困难;换句话说,她的“名人”地位不是别人给的。最后,她必须时时帮助别人。
- 3 我相信,奥普拉•温弗雷完全符合这些标准。
- 4 奥普拉•温弗雷早年生活困难。她出生于1954年,妈妈是个贫穷的未婚黑人女孩。妈妈移居北方后,有一段时间奥普拉由外婆抚养。她受过虐待,生过孩子,后来孩子夭折了;此后,她来到纳什维尔,和父亲生活在一起。
- 5 奥普拉的成名始于她主持的早间脱口秀节目,如《早安,芝加哥》。由于她很受欢迎,于是她于1986年推出了《奥普拉•温弗雷脱口秀》。接着,又自己开公司,经营《奥普拉•温弗雷脱口秀》。
- 6 1994年奥普拉做的一件事赢得了我的尊重。她决定打破其他日间脱口秀的风格,并承诺自己的节目将摒弃煽情而无聊的话题。观众对此反应积极,因而她的名气一路飙升。《奥普拉•温弗雷脱口秀》现在所关注的是一些有意义的话题,其中许多是针对女性的。
- 7 奥普拉利用自己的名气,创办了许多很有意义的项目。1996年,她创办了“奥普拉读书会”,旨在重新激发国民对文学的兴趣。1997年,她创建了“奥普拉天使网”,鼓励人们向需要帮助的人敞开心扉。该组织的一项活动是,募集零钱支持贫困学生上大学。
- 8 奥普拉一直和他人分享她的好运;她信守诺言,她的《奥普拉•温弗雷节目》一直关注能够激励观众的话题。她的每周话题包括精神信仰、身体保健、人际关系以及如何获得财政独立等。
- 9 温弗雷在公众场合的表演天赋和回答问题时的敏捷思路为她赢得了赞誉。据估计,《奥普拉•温弗雷脱口秀》在美国每天有1,400万观众。同时,她还是一名成功的演员,她在《紫色》中扮演的角色曾获得过“奥斯卡奖”提名。
- 10 我钦佩奥普拉,因为她就像个“平凡的女生”。有一次,我参加一个讲座,演讲者是奥普拉喜爱的一位作家。讲座前听众纷纷入座,这时进来了几位黑人妇女。我朋友说,“瞧,奥普拉来了。”我说,“不会的,那不是奥普拉。”她说,“是的,就是她。”结果,那人真是奥普拉,她看上去和我们没什么两样。在演讲者介绍她的时候,她还有点不好意思,要站起来。
- 11 我觉得奥普拉是个好人,是个可以做朋友的人。她知道自己的目标。她为自己赢得了名誉,并懂得与他人分享。
