Who's your hero?
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?
