If you are a TV addict, you can't have missed the popular sitcom(情景喜剧) Home With Kids. The
lead characters, 17-year-old Xiao Xue and 14-year-old Liu Xing can remind us of our own behavior or
our classmates. We love the two teenagers, but are they good students? And what makes a good student?
"Being a student is a kind of occupation, so a good student should have good grades. Based on their
school reports, clever and diligent, Xiao Xue is a much better student than her brother, Liu Xing," says
Wu Hao, 16, Chifeng in Inner Mongolia. "The boy should work harder at studying since our duty as
students is to study well."
It is generally accepted that getting good scores is crucial for a student. So to some, being a good
student means ranking high in your class or even your school. However, Wu also admits that a student's
personality is more important in being a role model student.
"Honesty and kindness make you admirable. But Xiao Xue can be selfish, dishonest and arrogant,
which make others feel uncomfortable to be around her. So she has a lot yet to improve on," Wu said.
Many teenagers do not think it is fair to judge students by their grades. Take Liu Xing for example. He is
bright, good at computers and does everything else well like any other 14-year-old except studying.
"He is smart, humorous and always has fancy ideas which makes him popular. I guess he could be an
excellent student if he attended school in the United States, where high grades are not so important and
creativity is hailed," says Jia Xiaoxu, 17, Hefei, Anhui.
From the US hit movie High School Musical, Jia discovers her role model.
"Gabriella in the movie is an ideal student. She is ranked top but is not seen as a bookworm. She is
sweet and sociable. Most importantly, Gabriella is always 'hungry' to try new things and actively
participates in different kinds of activities," she said.
