leader话题在雅思口语机经里已经不新鲜了，不过也有考生回忆这个leader还得精通体育，这个难度就上来了一些，先不管到底是不是准确的吧，一个名词有两个限定词的题目，都给我们添了不少麻烦。但是其实如果转念一想，任何的leader我们都可以人为的让他们擅长精通体育啊！反正考官又不知道！所以在素材组织上，反倒让我们有了多说几句话的空间。

不过有些比较谨慎的孩子会想，还是打保守牌吧！让我说懂sport的leader，那我就介绍一位coach算了！这当然也是不错的思路，而且即使没有限定必须懂运动，也可以直接用在leader的话题。如果这么一想的话，那首先蹦到大家脑袋里的，应该是在刚刚过去的这届奥运会上，最风光的教练了，就是铁榔头，郎平教练！

The great leader I’d like to talk about is Lang Ping, who’s the coach of our female national volleyball team.

Her outstanding leadership has helped our team win the championship in this year’s Olympic Games.

She’s my mom’s idol, and my mom just won’t stop talking about her after the game. And actually that’s how I got to know her.

I was told she used to be a volleyball player when she was young, and after she retired as an athlete, she became a coach because of her excellent skills, but from my point of view, what makes her successful is not just the skills, but also her determination. I mean, at some point in the match, especially when those two teams are equally strong, what keeps the team members hanging on in there is not the skill, but the spirit of not giving up, which I believe is the key factor to build up an unbeatable team.

And under her guidance, our team has achieved remarkable success. I watched the final game on TV with my mom, and I have to say, that game was the most thrilling one I’ve ever watched and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. During break, she told her players that she believed in them, and they could do whatever they put their mind to, and the whole team were uplifted by what she said.

I think she’s the best coach I’ve ever known.
