The BBC Learning English site has a great article about Susan Boyle, the contestant on Britain's Got Talent, a TV talent show.
Unknown only a few weeks ago, her rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" became an instant hit on YouTube, and has now been viewed by more than 100 million people.
So why is she so popular? Perhaps because at first sight, she looks so unlike a singing superstar. I think she makes us all question how we judge people on their appearance, and how quick we are to ignore people who don't live up to certain stereotypes.
What do you think? Who's your hero?

My hero is my father.He is not a very successful man,but he puts his heart into his children.I just think he is so devoted,which always be rejected by little brother and I.
Unfortunantely we looks only to the beauty, strong, rich, out side of people. But the realy beauty, strong and rich are inside of people. Today, everybody that can see others not only for de apparency, but see the people in your heart and your soul is a hero.
Every body has his or her hero. But in my opinion, the hero should be my self, so are you.

The general of Ming Danesty in Chinese history ,Yve Fei is a hero.He contribute his life to his contray.
By now I don't have an exact one that who is my hero, but in my opinion, his is the one who can make himself calm down in face of danger or other difficult things, and can find a way to solve this problem. That's more clever, he should be brave, and confident, so everyone can be a hero, a hero of him or herself.
