Do your parents ever say, “Act like a lady” or “Be a gentleman” to you? But in the eyes of today's teenagers, what qualities (品質(zhì)) should a lady or a gentleman have? Let’s take a look.

What is a gentleman?

The girls have their say:

Huang Xiaoyu of Guizhou: A gentleman is not a strong, stupid guy. He doesn’t get angry. He cares about others’ feelings. He’s always ready to help. There is a boy in my class I think is a gentleman. I didn’t do well in the mid-term English exam. He comforted (安慰) me by saying I would do better next time. His words made me feel happier.

Chen Tingting of Henan: A gentleman always says, “l(fā)adies first”. When cleaning the classroom, he does the heavy work. He lets girls go into rooms first. There aren't any gentlemen in my class. When there are snacks, the boys in my class are always the first to grab them!

Boys tell us what they think a lady is:

Wu Yifan of Dalian, Liaoning: A ladylike girl is gentle and quiet. But she’s not shy; she’s not afraid of expressing herself. She is kind and beautiful. To me, actress Dong Jie is a lady. She is pretty and gentle. She also has a kind heart. She does a lot for charity.

Wang Lichao of Tianjin: A lady is not just pretty-looking but wise too. She never says rude words. She is not noisy. She is always calm and at ease. There aren’t any real ladies in my class, I think. Most of the girls are of a style I call “wild beauties”.
