1．简单介绍该人物；
2．讲述相关故事；
3．对该人物的简单评价等。
注意：1.词数100左右；
2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
[佳作背诵]
Dear Peter,
I'm glad to learn that you are fond of ancient Chinese stories. Now I'm writing to tell you something about Yue Fei, a hero in the Song Dynasty of ancient China.
As we all know, when he was young, his mother tattooed the characters “serving the motherland with selfless loyalty” on his back, which taught him to be honest and loyal to his motherland. Later in his life, he really did so by working hard and fighting bravely for his country.
Most Chinese people, young or old, are very familiar with Yue Fei and his stories. Though he was killed for no reason by the emperor, he will be remembered by us for ever.
Yours,
Li Hua
