People have some bad feelings about the program, especially such girls as Ma Nuo. Meng Fei has a reputation throughout China. Millions of people show great adoration for Meng Fei’s humour. Meng Fei is a host of a TV program, whose theme is blind dates. He has gained a reputation throughout China, with millions of people showing great adoration for his humour. His another characteristic adored by people is his shining bald head, at the sight of which people tend to laugh. Although some people think he is vain of his charactetalent, they still can’t resist turning on TV to watch his ristics show. However, he was not so successful before. Desperate for success, he had tried many jobs having nothing to doexpewith being a host. he was always on the run to rescue riences himself from the hard life. What’s more, he went back to school to study, bent on changing his life. Finally, he lived up to his own expectations. Maybe some audience don’t like the grogram, thinking such wrong values of money as Ma Nuo’s are opinions so terrible. As for me, we should regard any person or anything in an objective way, just as we regard Meng Fei. Write about someone you admire using what we have learnt.
