My favorite singer
Of all the singers I have ever known, I like Han Hong best, a female singer who devotes herself to charity career.
There are two main reasons accounting for my love for her. For one thing, her unique style of performance as well as her clear and pleasant voice gives me a special feeling, as if I’m falling into a world of peace. For another, she is very warm-hearted and fantastic, from whom I can receive positive energy all the time.
In a word, it is her gift for singing and her charming personality that make Han Hong a star. It’s truly a spiritual enjoyment to listen to her songs!

My favorite singer
Of all the singers I have ever known, I like Liu Huan, a pop singer in China, best, who is famous for his beautiful songs such as The Sun in My Heart and A Crescent Moon.
There are two main reasons accounting for my love for him. For one thing, apart from pop songs, he is good at singing songs of different styles, ranging from rock to folk songs. Not only is he a singer, but he is also a songwriter and composer.For another thing, Huan wrote, composed and sang for many TV plays and movies.In 2008, he sang the theme song of the Beijing Olympic Games You and Me, which inspires people's enthusiasm for sports and draws world people's hearts close.
Liu Huan is a man who is also interested in many other things, such as tourism, literature and fine art, which makes us admire him a lot.
