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 话题分析
通过话题分析可知，该话题讲述的是一位女性工人因接受政府奖励的20万而引发网友的热烈讨论。其中，一部分人认为应该捐赠出去，另一部分人认为她有权拿走这笔钱。从而引发出我们自己的观点。这里我确立了自己的观点是：公众人物享有和普通人同样的权利。
接下来就要给出论据：
（1）公众人物也是普通人。虽然公众人物应当给大家树立榜样，但公众人物也是普通人，他们也应当享有普通人的权利。倘若公众人物的权利得不到保障，那么将没有人愿意再去称为公众人物。
（2）普通人有选择的权利。当这笔钱被奖励给Wu Juping之后，这笔钱就归她所有，她有权选择如何使用这笔钱。社会应当保证大家的合法权益。
（3）己所不欲勿施于人。每个人都处于不同的环境，都可能有自己的考虑和选择。Wu的选择是合理的，我们应当尊重。假如被奖励的人是我们自己，我想我们大部分人应该都会接受这笔钱。
3.2 话题作文内容
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.
