South Korean actor Kim Woo-bin（金宇彬）doesnt think he is handsome. In his own words， his face looks like a dinosaur（恐龙）. But it doesnt stop him attracting（吸引）a lot of fans.

He has played many cool young men on screen. They look like a bad boy but have a good heart. Choi Young-do（崔英道） in the 2013 TV series（电视连续剧）The Heirs（《继承者们》）is a good example.

Kim used to think “looking cool” was important for acting. Hed often look in a mirror（镜子）to find the coolest expression.

But one day he read a book called Im an Actor. In the book， one actor said： “If youre sincere（真诚的）， the right expression will come out by itself.”

Kim said since then， he has stopped looking at himself in a mirror. “Instead I try to find the best emotion（情感）for the situation.”he said.

作文点拨

本文讲述了作者最喜爱的一本书的主要内容，并从书中得出了“永远不要放弃梦想”这一主题。文章叙述得有条有理，结构安排恰当，是一篇很好的记叙文。但个别词语的用法需要注意：

?can表示“能够”，是百分之百可以做到的，而从下文可知，主人公没有做到，所以此处应用is about to，表示“即将”。

?teacher在此是特指，所以前面需要加定冠词。

?the other表示两者中的另一个，即总共只有两个人；another指“另一个”，即很多人中的另一个。

?行为动词后接动词时，通常用动词不定式，此处用to achieve表示目的。
