Section A: To feed the world

The stories of heroes inspire and encourage us. Sometimes, courageous people are called heroes when they achieve great things. Other times, however strong their will is, they fail to achieve their goal. Can they be considered heroes even if their efforts fail? 


What makes a hero? Some say heroes have special qualities that ordinary people can never acquire. Some say the main ingredient of a hero is the determination to do what is best and to serve those in need. In fact, those who dedicate their whole life to helping people around the world and those who rush to help people around them in the face of danger can both be called heroes. There are famous heroes, and there are everyday heroes. You too can be one of the ordinary people who do extraordinary things! What will you do to become more courageous? How will you strengthen your own abilities and determination to serve the people and society?
