Rosomaha is my favourite hero. This is a fantastic man saves the world from the enemies and bad creatures. He helps people to fight with evil. He is very strict with enemies and always very kind with people. His weapon are the claws on his han ds as sharp as blades of a knife. His sure assistant and friend is Jubilee. His severe heartless enemy is Sablezuby. One evening when Jubilee was alone at home she heard some sounds from the forest. She went to look what had happened but she didn't know about the danger. Lucky for her Rosomaha secretly followed her. He felt that Sablezuby is near.. Sublezuby attacked Jubilee when she came into the forest but Rosomaha saved her due to his strength. There was a mortal combat and Rosomaha managed to thrust Sablezubyi's heart with the claws. I like this hero because he fights with evil, brings good, and defends the weaks.

I haven't got a special hero. But if I have it - it is a singer Philip Kirkorov. I don't think that someone else is a hero. Philip Kirkorov has got a lot of good songs. His wife's name is Alia Pugachova. Her singing is good, too . I think he sings better then Alsu, Britney Spears, Viagra and other singers, whom young people like to listen to. Philip Kirkorov has a good voice, good songs, he dances well and he even has his own dancing group. Teachers tell us about poets, musicians, sportsmen and other famous people at school. And why can't they tell us about singers? Unfortunately my classmates don't like Philip Kirkorov but I take comfort in my mother's and my grandmother's adoration him. I don't want to look like Kirkorov, because I'm going to be a veterinarian. But I like him as my hero. I'll not forget his songs for a long time.

My favorite hero is a Chinese, well known all over the world actor, producer and a master of Fighting Art Jacky Chan. Jacky was born in Hong Kong in the fortieth of the last century. His father was a common cook. His mother was a laundress. Jacky was a very energetic boy and liked to take part in the street fights very much So at the age of six his father decided to send him to the Chinese Opera School. Pupils lived at school all the time. There was a very strict discipline. The pupils woke up at six o'clock in the morning and did the morning exercises. Then they helped about the school and after that the pupils had different classes, where they learned Math, Reading, Writing, Music, Dancing and Fighting Art. While studying at school Jacky began to act in the films. He didn't want to look like anybody. He always tried to be Jacky Chan. I think he succeeded in it. We know him as a kind, humane and incredibly brave man. Jacky Chan is my hero.

When he was a teenager he took a great interest in different kinds of single combats. In all films Jacky acted the main part. He makes tricks which nobody can repeat. I like this actor because the characters he plays are strong personalities, wise people who are worthy of my admiration. In my opinion this is the reason for his growing popularity in many countries. He is not only a talented actor whose acting draws your attention from the moment you see his face on the screen. He is also a successful producer and he continues working at his new films which are certain to amuse people. I admire with this hero and I dream to resemble him.
