I. Brainstorm the following questions
1. Who is outrageously rich or famous in your home country?
2. What person has made an important contribution to your happiness?
3. Who in your country is a household name?
II. Make a list of the ideas in the order that you will write about regarding the questions listed above.
III. Begin your rough draft with a sentence that names the person you admire.
For example:
Jon Bon Jovi is a world-famous singer, songwriter and leader of the American music group, Bon Jovi.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then use your notes to write a rough draft of a composition about the person you admire. Use specific examples of admirable behavior or accomplishments.
For example:
1. Jon Bon Jovi has donated his personal money to build houses in urban areas in the U.S. for people that are less fortunate.
2. Last year, Bon Jovi gave a free concert to 20,000 fans at New York’s Central Park.
3. Bon Jovi has sold over 100 million albums worldwide since their debut in 1983.
4. Despite being a “rock star” and spending most of his life touring the world, Jon Bon Jovi has remained faithful to his high school sweetheart and children.

IV. End your essay with a sentence that tells why this person is admirable.
Example:
Jon Bon Jovi is a great role model for those that are still trying to find their way because of the optimistic message that relates to the common man throughout his songs.
