Introduction 1

 

There are a lot of people in my life whom I adore and admire a lot. However, since

today I have to talk about a person who is elder to me I will talk about my dad. His

name is ABC and I admire him a lot. Not because he is my dad but because he is a

man worthy of respect and admiration.

I admire my dad because of reasons not one but many. He is very industrious and

generous. He is a self-made man and has although witnessed and faced many

challenges in his life he has emerged as a hero every time. I have learnt a lot from

him. He loves me a lot and he has taught be the best things in life.

We do a lot of activities together. Apart from the routine activities like having meals

together and praying together we do many such things. We visit places like sunrise

and sunset points, play outdoor games, watch movies and also go for long rides.

I enjoy his company as he is very witty and carries his heart on his sleeve. Last week

we purchased some plants and did lots of gardening together, we had fun. My father

also likes to cook and I really like this about him. He never feels ashamed to do any

work ad respects every individual. He is very polite and never gets angry. He is my

ideal and I always try to be like him because I admire him a lot.

Conclusion

I feel blessed to be in the company of such an altruist and philanthropic person.

 

Introduction 5

 

Well, the first person who came to my mind is my grandmother. She is almost in her 80’s and she has always been a major influence on me.

I guess I could say that I’ve known my grandmother my whole life because she was actually there the day I was born, and after the death of my grandfather she started to live in our house, so I was lucky enough to grow up and pass my adolescent years with her love and affection.

Since my childhood, she has always cared and loved me with all of her heart, and she is a really kind and wise woman which is why I always turn to her for advice. I think she’s a compassionate person with a big heart, and always tries to help others whenever she can, and I can recall many occasions when she took great risks to help other people out.

She’s also a successful mother of four children, one of whom is my father. She has devoted her entire life for the betterment of her kids, educating and guiding them to become good people. She possesses a very charming personality and always pleases everyone around her. Even a stranger can feel the warmth of her heart within only a short time.

I could really talk about her all day long because I love and admire her for many reasons. But I must say, the most important reason is her unconditional love for me. She is a great mentor who always shows me the positive side of things and guides me through my hardest times. Talking to her is a soothing experience and the stories she tells are always informative and full of important lessons and morals. I think she has had a great influence on my attitude in life and on my personality, and for all these reasons there’s a strong bond between us, and I admire her very much.

Introduction 6

 

I’m going to talk about a person that I really look up to. She is my grandmother. For the reason that I spent my whole childhood with her so we got a very strong bond. My grandmother is a highly talented person and a great mentor. Her affable characteristics and helpful mentality are most attractive.
I know my grandmother from the day I came to this world. In fact, she was there when I was born. I grew up and passed my adolescent and young age with the love and affection of my grandmother. Almost every day, I usually eat breakfast with my grandmother as well as we perform lot of activities together like yoga, dance and gardening.
she is a very caring and benevolent person. She always supports me and assists needy people.
And another thing that makes her become a magnet in my eyes is that she always held a very upbeat, energetic, and positive perspective in everything. She taught me how to look on the bright side of things, how to make the most of every single situation no matter how hard it could be. I admire her from the deep down of my heart. I love to spend time with her because she is intelligent and can give proper guidance. She is a reliable critic who often inspired me to work harder. Her affection and caring is probably the main reason I admire and love her so much.

workers.

the way of stories is also a good way. Praising children is a must so that they

learn.
