If my city has decided to build a statue to honor a famous person in my country, I would choose a late singer, Teresa Teng. She was born in 1950s, and died of a severe asthma attack at age 41 in May 1995 while holidaying in Chiang Mai, Thailand, triggering an outpouring of grief among her legions of fans in Asia and elsewhere. During her brilliant stage career, favored by fans all over Asia, she moved millions of people. Her famous songs include "sweet", "story of small town", and "the moon represents my heart", etc.

满分要素剖析：
一、 语言表达
本文的语言优美流畅，众多美好的描述，充满赞美的形容词打造出一个女神般的传奇的邓丽君，相比于规规矩矩提出来的分论点，作者全身心地在整篇文章中用语言和文字表达了自己对于邓丽君的喜爱和选择邓丽君的原因，内容丰富的区区几百字也胜过徒有列表的千万种理由，这是最具感染力和说服力的表达。尽管在逻辑结构上有不完整，但是语言上结实的功力掩盖过了结构上的瑕疵。
1. She was born in 1950s, and died of a severe asthma attack at age 41 in May 1995 while holidaying in Chiang Mai, Thailand, triggering an outpouring of grief among her legions of fans in Asia and elsewhere. 这是作为介绍邓丽君的背景第一句话，在一句话内道尽了她的出生到死亡。be born in出生于和 die of死于。While在这里引导的是时间状语从句，trigger的现在分词做伴随状语，an outpouring of grief表示巨大悲痛的流露，legions of是取代many，lots of等烂熟的表达，在这里传达众多的，大量的意思。
2. It was said that it was her who introduced several generations in China to a certain field of popular music. 这一句中值得注意的是it做主语的强调句，为了强调her，即邓丽君，所以将主语提出再做强调，后接定语从句补充内容。第一个it was said that的句型表示人们常说，是一个值得学习的结构。
3. Her sweet songs made her a legend, and are still regularly heard on radio, and continue to have a following in Chinese communities all over the world. 在文中，作者用了很多种不同的表达来称赞邓丽君的歌声，sweet songs，her voice that sounds to come from heaven，her sweet voice，her brilliant stage career，made her a legend等等，作者的描述和用词让自己的赞美之情溢于言表.have a following是follow的活用，表示fans的追随和推崇。
二、逻辑结构
本文从两个方面证明了自己的论点。开头的回答问题和背景介绍十分全面，分论点从邓丽君的歌声魅力和人格魅力正面展开论述，可惜有头无尾，缺少总结，打破了完满的总分总的文章结构。
