范文

 

开篇介绍

 

In recent years, there has been a surge in entrepreneurship in China and it seems that everybody is thinking about starting a business of some kind. But this person I'd like to talk about is truly a pioneer. His name is Mr.Luo.

 

选择要点

 

First, I think I'll explain what he does. Originally he was an anchor at Chinese Central Television, a job many people would kill for.But he saw an opportunity when more and more Chinese people started to use Wechat,an instant messaging and social networking app, so he quitted and started his own business. He started off by opening an account sharing book reviews and mini lectures on Wechat. And gradually he had had such a huge following that he opened up his website to well-known writers and professors to offer online courses for a price.

 

比较对比

 

Contrary to popular belief that people won't pay for anything they read online, Mr. Luo's business has gone from strength to strength. Not only have people been willing to “pay for knowledge”, they have also stayed very loyal to his website and seemed very happy to gobble up everything that was on offer. 

 

解释原因

 

Of course, Mr. Luo's success was no accident. He didn't get attention right away but he made a name for himself by delivering a high-quality mini lecture every single morning for two years straight. And another reason for his success is his keen insight into the needs of China's rising middle class, who is hungry for the information and knowledge that they believe would help them increase their wealth or improve the quality of their lives.

 

使用否定

 

I wouldn't say that he is my role model because·I think I lack the business acumen and charisma he possesses. However, I do admire his persistence and courage to challenge the status quo.

 

作出推测

 

I don't think I would be able to do the same kind of work as he, but I'd love to start a course of my own on his website one day if I had the chance. Although I think there's little likelihood of this happening because I don't think I've got what it takes to be a lecturer!
