Leader

Tell me about a leader you admire. You should say: who the leader is what he/she do/did to become a leader what you would ask him/her if you met the person and explain why you admire him/her.

·Wen Jiabao, his position, his previous experience
·His qualities：soft-spoken＋considerate：people respect him ·After the earthquake in Sichuan: he was supportive＋touching ·I would like to interview him: about what?
·He's extremely appreciated＝he's a model
Let me tell you about Premier Wen Jiabao who is serving as the head of the Chinese government. Mr. Wen used to be a geologist and an engineer in Gansu Province, in western China, before he took more political responsibilities in Beijing.
Premier Wen is famous for being soft-spoken and hard-working. I believe he is a very considerate, very thoughtful leader, and this is why people admire him across the country. Our domestic media call him "the people's Premier" and he always appears very close to the population.
I will never forget the images of him in Sichuan right after the earthquake that devastated the region in 2008． He was the first politician to make the trip to the stricken area to support the population and organize the rescue plan. I remember him talking with a megaphone to 2 children who were stuck down in a well, and he introduced himself as "Grandpa Wen Jiabao"．It was so moving.
I would really like to meet him to ask him many questions about China's development and future．He is known to have a very tight bond（＝relationship) with President Hu Jintao, and I would love to speak with them about contemporary （＝ current) issues such as education and unemployment.
I think that everyone trusts Premier Wen Jiabao in China, and he is appreciated for all his qualities. I think that leaders should always reflect（＝symbolize) important values. I lookup to him, and I regard him as a role model．I wish I could become as wise and influential in the future.
