ARTIST HERO:

ARIEL LIN

Ariel Lin

My hero is Ariel Lin. She is a superb performer and studious student. She is a great actress that lots of people praise and admire. In addition, she is a student of the prestigious National Chengchi University. I admire her that she could manage to do “two jobs” Besides, Areil both studies and performs well.

Ariel is always busy but studious in class and acts professionally. Furthermore, she pays much attention to her family. She is daughterly and treats her younger brother nicely. She saved lots of money that she made to buy a new apartment for her parents. Although Ariel is rich now, she does not buy everything she wants. She thinks that is very extravagant. What she has done sets a good example to me. Ariel is my role model.

When Ariel was in high school, she was once elected a model student. When receiving the award, she had honor of taking a picture with Major of Taipei, Enjoy Ma. Later on, her friends helped her sign up for the MRT young girl screening. Fortunately, she won first place, which enabled her to enter the field of entertainment. Because of her pretty face and sweet smile, Ariel has become more popular.

At first, she acted on the TV series 《Appointment At The Age Of 18》. During that time, her outstanding performance was appreciated by the director. Besides, Ariel is humble when someone gives her advice or criticism; then she will improve and not make mistakes again. I admire her attitude. Little by little, she has become well-known. Everyone is attracted by her stunning appearance and outstanding performance.

Though Ariel was still young, she was very filial. She considered that family is the most valuable thing. She takes care of her only brother dearly. When she made money enough, she bought new things for her parents. Ariel said that she enjoyed the times when she got together with family. In her opinion, the most delicious food is the food made by her mother. What a nice girl she is.
