ADMIRE

Taylor Switf

One person I truly admire is Taylor Swift, who is a famous singer and songwriter from the
United States.
If I remember correctly, I first heard her music when I was in school, and since then, I
have been a loyal fan of her.
And as for now, I still follow her on social media and often turn on her songs in my spare
time.
And speaking of the reasons why I admire her so much, there are a few. First of all, she is
undeniably talented. The songs that she has composed are not only catchy, but also very
touching and meaningful. I mean, many of her songs are from her personal experiences,
it makes me feel really connected. I think that’s also the reason why a lot of people love
her music.

And besides, Taylor is very passionated and dedicated. She started her career when she
was very young, and over the years, she has released many songs and albums that have
become hits worldwide. And she also won a numerous of awards in her career.
Lastly, she is also well-known for her kindness and generousity. You know, she’s done
lot of charity work and often helps the poor when they are in need. She seems to care a
lot about other people and uses her influence to make the world better.
For example, in 2021, Taylor donated $1 million to a charitable organization to help
people in her country when there was a tornadoes. And she also helps her fans. I
remember during the COVID-19 pandemic, she also gave money to some fans who didn't
have jobs or money to survive.

So for me, Taylor is not just a talented singer, but she also has a big heart and cares
about people.
And in the future, I really hope to have a chance to meet her in person and maybe ask for
some photos or a signature.

BEAUTIFUL
Talor
The reason why I consider Talor is beautiful is because of her apprearance.
I mean, Taylor has lovely blonde hair that she often styles in different ways. Sometimes
it's straight, sometimes curly, but it always looks good on her. She has blue eyes that are
very attractive, especially when she is singing or performing on stage.
Moreover, whenever it comes to her music videos or live concerts, she usually wears
fashionable outfits, which makes she looks really elegant and stylish. I guess she must
have a very good sense of fashion.

And besides her physical beauty, I think Taylor is also beautiful on the inside. She is very
kind and usually helps others when they are in need. For example, …

Son Tung (handsome)

The reason why I believe that Son Tung has an attractive apprearance. He has sharp
facial features with a deep-set of eyes that always look bright and shine.
And besides, whenever I see him in music videos or on TV, he always apprear with
fashionable clothes that look really unique and stylish. He seems to have a great sense
of style.

SPORTPERSON:

Quang Hải, a famous football player in Vietnam.

If I remember correctly, I first knew him when I was …..

And as for now, I still follow him on social media and sometimes watching his matches.

Quang Hải is a midfielder, which means he plays in the middle part of the field. And why I
think he is a very exellent player is that he can play at every position. He can run back to
help in defense, then move to the middle field, and even getting forward to try and score
goals.
One of the best moments that I very love about him is the goal in a match of Asian Cup in
2021. It was when he scored a goal from a distance when we are losing the game, it
helped to lift up the team spirit and even help us to win the game. That goal was replayed
many times on TV and social media, and I remember feeling so proud when I saw it.

Apart from the match, Quang Hải was also a humble person in my eye. I mean, he always
spoke about teamwork and how he wanted to do his best for Vietnam. Besides, I also
show a deep respect for his fan whenever he talks to them. It was so clear to me that he’s
not just a talented player, but also a down-to-earth/understanding(thực tế, biết điều, thân
thiện) person.

A PERSON TO KNOW MORE

I'd like to talk about Taylor Swift. While I've never met her and only know her as a
celebrity, I'm genuinely curious about her day-to-day life, especially when she's not in the
spotlight.

Taylor Swift is, of course, a famous singer and songwriter. I've always been a fan of her
music, and I admire that she can stay at the top of her industry for so many years.
And beside her music career, though, I'm interested in how she spends her free time. For
instance, what hobbies does she have that the public doesn't know about? Or how does
she relax and find peace in the fast-paced world of showbiz?

Additionally, I'm curious about her creative process. How does she come up with song
ideas? Does she have a special routine or methods to create ideas, or does she learn from
any teacher when she's writing or composing? It make me really curious because her
songs are really amazing.

And finally, Taylor has been known for her charity work and social issues. I'd love to know
what is her motivation to support how she decides where to to help because there are a
lot of people out there needing help.

BUSINESS: JACK MA

I'd like to talk about Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba Group. He's one of the most
successful businesspeople not only in China but also in the world.

Jack Ma started from humble beginnings. He was an English teacher before he turned into
the business world. Today, Alibaba is one of the greatest and largest group in China and
in the world.

What's inspiring about his story is that he faced many rejections and failures in his early
life, even from jobs like at KFC, but he never gave up. Then he saw the potential of the
internet and e-commerce in China and he worked so hard to make it successful.

He's also well-known for his leadership style, he’s a very down-to-earth and forward-
thinking individual. He cares a lot about his people and often inspire small businesses and
young people to follow their dreams.
And for me, he also helps me a lot in my life. I've watched many of his interviews, he talks
a lot about how he learning from failures and believes in the power of hard-working, and
it helps me to have more motivation to work and try harder in my career.

CLOSE TO YOU: MOM/ MY WIFE/

The reason why I am so close to my mom is that she is a very caring and undestanding
person. I mean, she always thinks about others before herself. When I'm feeling down or
unwell, she knows just how to tell funny stories to cheer me up. Her positive energy
makes everyone feel comfortabe and relaxed when spending time with her.

Moreover, my mom is also very kind. I think she has a golden heart. I mean, she usually
give food for the homeless & take part in charitable work. I remember once she cooked a
huge pot of soup and ask me to help her to give it to the hungry in the city. It was also
the first time I took part in a charitable work, and it made me really happy and joyful
because I can feel and understand the value of doing good things.

You know, I feel very greatful when having her in my life.

DAD/ MY HUSBAND

My dad is a hardworking and humourous man. He goes to work early every day to make a
living for our family. Even after a long day, he spends time with us, listening to my stories
and tell funny stories to cheer everyone up. His positive energy makes everyone feel
comfortabe and relaxed when spending time with him.

In addition, he is aslo really handy. He's very good at making and fixing things around the
house. He really enjoy making toys for me and my brother. And when something breaks,
he always come with a toolbox and fix it. I enjoy watching him work and I can learn a lot
from him.

WIFE ( GOOD AT COOKING)

The reason why I think my wife is good at cooking is that she really loves cooking for
others, especially for family and friends. She believes that cooking is a way to show love
and care for others. So she always put her heart into cooking and feel happy wheb seeing
people enjoy her food.

Usually, she likes to cook Vietnamese dishes. She love to make pho for breakfirst, which
is my favorite dish too. And some times, she also make spring rolls, banh xeo or bun cha.
My kids love these so much.
As for me, I feel very grateful and happy when having her in my life. Every time she
cooks, it makes our home a warm and happy place.

1. Describe a person who has been an important influence in your life.

BEST FRIEND/ COLLEAGUE

John, who is my manager at work.

One reason that I really love about John is that he is very kind. When I first started, he
taught me how to use our computer system and handle tasks that were new to me. He's
always there to answer any questions I have and never makes me feel like I'm bothering
him. His patience and willingness to help others make everyone loves him.
What really makes me think John is successful is that besides being good at his day job,
he also runs his own business from home. That's really impressive to me. He sells
products online and even has a team working for him, and he can makes a lot of money
from it. He often shares how he manages to balance his office work and his own business.
And I can learn a lot from his experience and it makes me feel very inspired. I hope in the
future I can also have my own business.

SPEAK VIETNAMESE WELL//// WHO HAS JUST MOVE///// BROUGHT POSITIVE

INFLUENCE

Mr. James, who is an English man from England

First knew: a year ago, when he was moving to my area & become my next door
neighbor. He told me that he really love the area because there is a big park and a lake
where he can do exercise and relax.

To tell you more about him, he's actually from London, but he's been living in Vietnam for
more than five years. And besides, he's also has a Vietnamese wife, and I think that’s why
he can speak Vietnamese so well.

(SPEAK VIETNAMESE) And what makes me really impressed about him is how amazing
his Vietnamese accent is. I mean, his pronunciation is so good and natural that it's almost
like listening to a real native speaker. I think he has practice a lot to have that cool
accent.

( HELP THE COMMUNITY) Another great thing about Mr. James is how kind he is. He's
actually been helping my son and the other kids in my neighborhood get better at
speaking English. Instead of talking to the kids in Vietnamese, he takes the time to speak
with them in English. And this is really good for the kids because it helps them to practice
and be more confident when talking to foreigners.
So overall, I I feel very grateful to him and I hope that he could live here in a long time.

( IMPORTANT INFLUENCE ON ME)And one great thing about Mr. James is how he helps
me to learn English. You know, he's actually open a fee English class to help the kids
other people in my neighborhood get better at speaking English. Although he can speak
and communicate in Vietnamese, but he takes the time to teach and speak with us in
English. This is really good for me because it helps me to practice and be more confident
when talking to foreigners.

I feel very grateful to him because now I can talk can communicate with my customers in
English, I hope that he could live here for a long time.

INTERESTING IDEAS /// /// IMPORTANT INFLUENCE

And the reason why I think he has interesting ideas is the way (that) he teaches English. I
mean, his method is quite different from other people teach languages. In stead of giving
boring textbooks or grammar exercises, he helps the children in his class practice English
by rapping and singing, which makes them really excited and fun. And this somehow
helps the kids speak better English and even like to learn more.

And thanks to Mr. James, my son has becom more confident when he speaks English. And
sometime he even shows me some english vocabularies. He seems to very keen on
learning English now, so I really appreaciate that Mr. James has come to my
neighborhood.
