Share your answers with your classmates. Further thinking 1.Do you want to be a peanut-like person? Why or why not? Yes, I really want to be a peanut-like person. Peanuts are plain-looking but bring great value to people around them. They never show off or try to win others’ praise. I hope I can quietly help my classmates and family without chasing attention. Inner usefulness is much more important than fancy looks or compliments. 2.There are many people in our society with the quality of peanuts. Can you give an example? Cleaners are typical peanut-like people. They work early every morning to keep our streets tidy. Their work is ordinary and few people notice them, but their hard work makes our whole city comfortable. They devote themselves silently just like peanuts hiding fruit under the earth. 3.Do you think it is also important for the world to have apple-like or peach-like people? Give your reasons. Yes, I think apple-like or peach-like people are also necessary for the world.Apple-like people are outstanding, confident and good at showing their shining advantages. Artists, hosts and public scientists belong to this kind of people. They attract people’s attention, spread positive ideas and bring joy and hope to society. However, we should not only chase fame and praise like them. The world needs both quiet useful peanut-like people and shining apple-like people, and we should keep a balance between modesty and self-expression.
