Do your parents ever say “do it like a lady” or “be a gentleman” to you? But in the eyes of today’s students, what should a lady or a gentleman be like? Let’s take a look.
What is a gentleman? ?
Huang Xiaoyu of Guizhou: A gentleman doesn’t always get angry(生气的). He wants others to be well and happy. He’s always ready to help others. There is a boy in my class I think he is a gentleman. If I don’t do well in the English exam, he will say “You will do better next time”. That makes me feel happy.
Chen Tingting of Shenzhen: A gentleman always says, “Ladies first”. When students clean the classroom, he always does heavy work. He lets girls go into rooms first. There are no gentlemen in my class. When there is something to eat, the boys in my class always get them before girls!
What is a lady? Boys tell us what they think a lady is:
Wu Yifan of Dalian: A lady is kind and quiet (安静的)，but she’s not shy (害羞) and she can talk about her ideas in front of others. To me, Dong Jie, a film star, is a lady. She is pretty and kind. She does a lot for others.
Wang Lichao of Tianjin: A lady is not just beautiful but clever. She never says bad words. She is quiet and kind to others. I don’t think there is a lady in my class. Most of the girls are wild beauties, I think.
