A famous foreigner Describe a famous foreigner you particularly admire. You should say: who this person is why he/she is famous why you admire him/her and explain how he/she contributes to society. Talking about a famous foreign, I want to talk about David Beckham, one of the most famous football players in the world. He’s extremely well-known, and I believe that everyone around the world could recognize him if they saw him on TV or in a newspaper. First of all, in the 1990s, Beckham used to be a very successful athlete. He used to play for Manchester United(曼彻斯特联队=曼联), and he won the Premier League(超级联赛) 6 times with this club. They even won the European Champions League, which is the most prestigious club competition in the world. Everyone praised his ability to kick the ball and deliver amazing passes. Goalkeepers(守门员) always feared his free kicks(任意球), and he even played for AC Milan, which is one of the strongest teams in Europe. A movie entitled “Bend it like Beckham” was even made. He is a role model for many young people. Beckham got married to a former band member of the famous “Spice Girls”. His wife’s name is Victoria and she is an attractive singer who somehow managed to bring Beckham to another level of fame. The two of them are the constant center of attention of the press. Paparazzi follow them on a daily basis, and I believe that there is not a day without an article published about Beck and his wife. They seem so happy. You know, so many celebrities divorce, but they’ve been together for a long time and have several cute children. I think that his wife played a major role in his career. David is a good-looking man, and he learned how to make full use of his name and appearance. Beckham advertises for many famous brands. He models; he acts; he publishes books too. In 2002, he launched his debut book named “My side”, which was a really hit! He’s a real businessman. When he played for Real Madrid(皇家马德里队), his name brought millions of dollars to the club because fans from all over the world bought jerseys with his name printed on the back. I don’t know when he will put an end to his football career, but I am positive that he will keep busy in Hollywood and on TV for a long time after he retires. Maybe it is easy to find someone who is successful in one field, but it is definitely hard to find someone who is excellent in many fields. And it is the hardest ever to make one’s own name become a fashion, a trademark and a symbol. And obviously, David is one of them. {温馨提示} 小编提醒考生注意：这篇文章可以用于“a famous foreigner”, 也可以用于“a celebrity”。 {背景知识} David Robert Joseph Beckham(译：大卫·罗伯特·约瑟夫·贝克汉姆)是一名英格兰足球运动员，前任英格兰代表队队长。曾于1999年及2001年夺得世界足球先生亚军，是运动品牌阿迪达斯的代言人。贝克汉姆在球场上司职右前卫或中前卫，最著名的是他右脚精准的长传、传中和极其出色的定位球，在俱乐部和国家队生涯中都以此获得了大量助攻和进球。） |
