That's all. Thank you!
Good afternoon，everyone.My hero is a middle aged woman named Li Dan. She isn't beautiful or rich，and she is just an ordinary street cleaner.So why is she my hero？First，I admire her because of her deep devotion to her common but useful work， which requires her to work for more than nine hours a day，rain or shine. Second，she has a kind heart and always manages to return the wallets or cellphones she finds while working to the owners. There's a lot that I should learn from her.In short，my heroes are those who do small things in life，because it's the small things that count.That's all.Thank you！SampleThank you!
