Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa who was a symbol (象征) of social justice (公正), passed away on Dec. 5, 2013. His death is a great loss to the whole world, since this modern hero, who used to fight for the black people, helped the black people get the same rights as white people, and began a school to help those who had little learning even during the time when he was put into prison. He was the one who always gave priority to (优先考虑) his nation.
Nelson was a great man, but he was more than a great man. He was, is, and always will be a hero. In my view, being a hero means more than making great achievements. In fact, heroes are extraordinary (非凡的), because their hearts are filled with love for people. It is this love that makes them heroes, rather than great men.
So this is the difference between great men and heroes. What makes a hero is not only one’s achievements, but also his selfless (无私的) love. With great achievements and selfless love, the person can become a true hero, just like Nelson Mandela.

由于我所受的教育很少,所以我需要他的帮助。我6岁开始上学,我仅仅读了两年的
那所学校有3千米远。我不得不辍学,因为我的家庭无法继续支付学费和交通费。我既不太会读,也不怎么会写。几经周折,我才在一家金矿上找到一份工作。然而在那个时候,一个人要想住在约翰内斯堡就非得要有身份证不可。糟糕的是我没有这个证件,因为我不是在那里出生的,我担心我是不是会失业。
