Super Heroes:

Choose one of the super heroes. Tell me about your favourite super hero. 

For example: Batman (Bruce Wayne) is one of my favourite super heroes. First, he protects the citizens (people) of Gotham City. For example, the Joker often tries to destroy the city but Batman defeats him and saves the people. Secondly, he is selfless because he spends his nights fighting bad people rather than having a good night's sleep. Above all, he is my favourite hero because even though he does not have any powers, he is brave.
