Hello, teachers and the talented students of NTT.

My name is Vu Bao Ngoc, and

I am from 6A2. For today’s presentation, I am going to be talking about the topic”
Hero in my eye”. First, I just want to ask the audiencce here: Do you have anyone
who you take as a role model, as someone you look up to? If you do, please raise
your hand.
Actully, before we come to my answer of this question, then let’s ask
ourselves “ What makes a hero?”
Nowadays, you just hear that term “hero “everywhere now. It’s become
very common on the news, in the media, in movies, stories, etc. Everyone just
can’t seem to get enough of the four letters that represent bravery and courage –
and I’ve got to admit I was one of them. 

The definition of "hero" has changed over the years, with people arguing about if a
hero must risk their life selflessly or just be courageous. Robert Evans Wilson Jr.
from Psychology Today argues that heroes must do more than perform courageous
tasks but must risk or sacrifice their life for their noble cause. The dictionary
defines "hero" as "a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding
achievements, or noble qualities." Kid President argues that heroes are just
ordinary people who do extraordinary things. Exmaple, a man who is considered a
hero, is Mr. Trần Đức Thông, who was the captain of the boat coded HQ-604 in
the Gac Ma area. The most prominent modern heroes are medical personnel, who
are fighting for hours and hours on end on the frontlines, battling whatever
diseases we are having now. Proven by articles and lengthy writing by CNN, BBC
and many other trusty new sources, and the majority of the internet, everyone
seems to agree that these health care workers are heroes. Do you? I guess that you
do.
 When I was a little kid, I remember idolizing and looking up to my parents, as
well as my cherished cartoon superheroes – as most children do at such a young
age. They were the heroes in my mind, my role models. The people I looked up to
the most. 
 
So the question remains: Who is the hero in my eye?
 
Well, my answer to this question is, well, anyone.
 
A hero does not need to sacrifice their life or save a crying baby from a burning
building to be considered a hero for me – although those are fine examples of
heroism. Would you say that the Emergency Dispatchers are not heroes, just
because they weren’t risking their lives with the firefighters in the front line? 
 
After taking into consideration all the things I’ve learned about what people’s
opinions on heroism are, and what they believe heroism is, I’ve created my own
definition of a HERO and made up my mind of who are the heroes in my eye.
 
In my eyes, a hero is a role model who sets an example to do what is right. They
can be anywhere, from parents working a 9 to 5 to teachers at schools. If someone
asked me if superhero personas portrayed on TV were heroes, I would respond
with a yes . Why? Because they fight bad guys and do what's right. 

If someone again asked me if I thought a normal person could be a hero, I’d also
say yes. But of course, because a normal person can be a hero, doesn’t mean they
necessarily are a hero. A hero is a well-earned title, and to earn it, they must be
courageous and strong, trying their best and setting a good example. Although, you
may find that heroism comes in all forms, shapes, and sizes. 
 
Being a hero does not mean being invincible, bottling up emotions, and never
being scared. It means doing what you can when faced with difficult situations,
such as running away and calling for help, or staying and fighting. A hero doesn't
always have the answer to the problem, but they will show courage when faced
with it and always try and fix it. Sometimes, they will have to have outside help or
admit that the issue is too big for them alone to solve.I think this is very true. In my
eye, everyone – and anyone can be a hero! They just need to reach out and pave
that final step. Of course, they will need to be brave and courageous, setting an
example. It doesn’t even need to be other’s issues– even overcoming a big matter
for themselves can be heroic and inspiring.
 
And so, this is why in my opioin , I believe that heroes can be anyone, from the
people you see on an everyday basis, to the people you see on TV, saving lives. 
Even you can be a hero.
