<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Question
Talk about a person you admire and something important that this
person has taught you and explain why it is important to you. Use details
and examples in your response.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Answer
A person that I admire is actor/singer/martial artist Jackie
Chan. He started with nothing, working in a factory after
going to a drama school, and now he is internationally
famous. I also admire him, not because of his fame, but
because he can speak many, many languages. Of course, his
abilities are tremendous. He does his own stunts, he knows
many martial arts styles, he is also very good at martial
arts, he acts, and he sings. He has also directed movies. He
has his own cartoon in America, from which I learned of his
skills with language. He has learned so many languages, and
if he is not fluent in all of them, he is certainly fluent
in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. Jackie Chan has taught
me how hard work can pay off and that I could learn many
languages someday as well if I am as diligent as he is.
