Wu Juping, a female worker in Hangzhou, is given the name of the "most beautiful mother" by netizens for risking her own life to save two-years-old girl falling down from the 10th floor of a building. She was offered a reward of 200,000 yuan and decided to keep the money. Her decision set off a debate. Some people think that, as a public role model, she should donate the money, while others believe that she has every right to keep the money. What is your opinion?
3.1 話題分析
通過話題分析可知，該話題講述的是一位女性工人因接受政府獎勵的20萬而引發網友的熱烈討論。其中，一部分人認爲應該捐贈出去，另一部分人認爲她有權拿走這筆錢。從而引發出我們自己的觀點。這裏我確立了自己的觀點是：公衆人物享有和普通人同樣的權利。
接下來就要給出論據：
（1）公衆人物也是普通人。雖然公衆人物應當給大家樹立榜樣，但公衆人物也是普通人，他們也應當享有普通人的權利。倘若公衆人物的權利得不到保障，那麼將沒有人願意再去稱爲公衆人物。
（2）普通人有選擇的權利。當這筆錢被獎勵給Wu Juping之後，這筆錢就歸她所有，她有權選擇如何使用這筆錢。社會應當保證大家的合法權益。
（3）己所不欲勿施於人。每個人都處於不同的環境，都可能有自己的考慮和選擇。Wu的選擇是合理的，我們應當尊重。假如被獎勵的人是我們自己，我想我們大部分人應該都會接受這筆錢。
3.2 話題作文內容
Public Role Model Should Enjoy the Same Rights as Ordinary People
With regard to the fact that Wu Juping decided to keep the reward of 200,000 yuan, different people have diffrent opinion. Some people say that Wu , a public role model, should donate the money, while others think that she has every right to keep the money. In my opinion, public role model enjoy the same right with ordinary people.
Firstly, public role model are also ordinary people. Except for setting an example for everyone, public role model also ought to enjoy the rights of ordinary people. If they can't choose, who is willing to become public role model. Secondly, Ordinary people also have the rights to choose. Wu juping has the rights to how to use the money after she was offered a reward of 200,000 yuan. And our society should guarantee her legal rights. Thirdly, don't impose on others. Everyone is in a different living enviroment and has different considerations and choices.Wu junping‘s choice is reasonable and we should respect it. Just imagine, if the person bing rewarded is ourselves, how will we choose? I think, most of people may accept the money.
From discussion made above, we can easliy see that a public role model should enjoy the same rights as an oridinary person.
