Question

Do your parents ever say,“Act like a lady.”or“Be a gentleman.”to you? But in the eyes of today’s teenagers, what should a lady or a gentleman be like? Let’s take a look.

What is a gentleman? The girls have their ideas：

Huang Xiaoyu of Guizhou： A gentleman doesn’t often get angry. He wants others to be well and happy. He is always ready to help. There is a boy in my class and I think he is a gentleman. If I don’t do well in the English test, he will say,“You will do better next time.”That makes me feel happy.

Chen Tingting of Shenzhen： A gentleman always says,“Ladies first.” When students clean up the classroom, he does the heavy work. He lets girls go into rooms first. There are no gentlemen in my class. When there is something to eat, the boys in my class always get them before girls!

What is a lady？Boys tell us what they think a lady is：

Wu Yifan of Dalian： A lady is quiet and kind, but she’s not shy(害羞) and she can talk about her ideas in front of others. To me, Jiang Yiyan, a film star, is a lady. She is pretty and kind. She does a lot for others.

Wang Lichao of Tianjin： A lady is not just beautiful but clever. She never says bad words. She is quiet and kind to others. I don’t think there is a lady in my class. Most of the girls are wild beauties, I think.
