Model Answer:
I guess the most successful person I have ever seen is Xu Tao. She is the hostess for a legal TV program. She has experienced a lot of troubles herself to get the first hand sources for her TV program. She won a lot of awards of journalism. A few years ago, she was elected the torch carrier for Olympic Games. She is like a policeman. She wears a helmet and exposes the secret of many illegal companies. She also helps the policeman arrest the suspects. I remember a story about her. Once, a suspect was caught and he said to the police, I watch her program every day, when she says. you will never escape the law. | always feel she is talking about me. I think she is successful because she is known by so many TV viewers. Later I read reports about her, and it says that she also has a harmonious family. She tries to balance her work and her family life. When she is not working, she will go to the park with her family. To me. a successful person should be successful not only in work but also in life.
