Sample 1:

My mother is the person I admire most. She devoted a lot of time and energy to the upbringing of my two brothers and I. Despite working hard, she always made time to teach us many useful things which are necessary and important in our later lives. Moreover, she is a good role model for me to follow. She always tries to get on well with people who live next door and help everyone when they are in difficulties, so most of them respect and love her. I admire and look up to my mother because she not only brings me up well but also stands by me and gives some help if necessary. For example, when I encounter some difficulties, she will give me some precious advice to help me solve those problems. She has a major influence on me and I hope that I will inherit some of her traits.  

Sample 2:

This year my grandmother is over seventy years old. She still looks healthy because she keeps the habit of walking every morning. Her face was plump and kind. Her gray-brown eyes were always a gentle, warm glow. Her hair was waist-length, more white than half. My grandmother is also a person who loves her children deeply. I have grown up with the sweet apathy she lulled, with so many wonderful fairy tales she tells. Every night, her skinny, wrinkled hands patted me back to sleep. I really love my grandmother. I wish she was always healthy to live happily with her children and grandchildren.

Sample 3:

I admire my older brother a lot. He's like a superhero to me. He's always there to protect me and make me laugh when I'm feeling down. Even when things get tough, he never gives up. He works really hard to achieve his goals and never complains. What I admire most about him is his kindness. He's always thinking about others and goes out of his way to help people in need. He's my role model, and I hope to be as brave and caring as him one day.

Sample 4:

I admire my grandma a lot. She's always smiling and kind to everyone. Even when things are tough, she stays strong and positive. She helps people whenever she can, giving her time and love freely. What I admire most is her inner strength. She never gives up, no matter what. She's like a rock, always there for us. Her faith and belief in goodness inspire me every day. Being around her makes me feel safe and happy. I'm really lucky to have her in my life.

Sample 5:

I really look up to my teacher, Mrs. Smith. She's always so patient and understanding, and she really cares about her students. Even when we're struggling, she never gives up on us. She goes out of her way to help us learn and grow, and she's always there to offer encouragement and support. What I admire most about her is her passion for teaching. She makes learning fun and interesting, and she inspires us to do our best every day. I feel really lucky to have her as my teacher, and I hope to be like her when I grow up.

Hi Nam,

Thank you for your email and the description of your city. Now I am going to tell you about my city, Hanoi. Hanoi is the capital of my country, Vietnam.

It is located in the center of North Vietnam. It's a very big and developing city. Hanoi is very beautiful. There are many famous places of interest such as One Pillar Pagoda, the Temple of Literature, Hanoi Opera House, President Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, etc. We can also walk around Hoan Kiem Lake to enjoy the sights of the city. I also ride a bike around the West lake and look at the sunset at the weekend. There are many modern shops and café here too. I sometimes go shopping with my friends or my family members. Moreover, there is a big national stadium, My Dinh stadium, so I can go there to watch a soccer match with my dad.

Actually, Hanoi is a very amazing place to live. I hope you can visit it on the next summer holiday. I will be your tour guide.

I’m looking forward to seeing you!

Hi My Le,

How are you today? I am having a two-month summer holiday at my favorite place, my city as well as my hometown. I will tell you a little about it, Ho Chi Minh city.

Ho Chi Minh city or Saigon is the biggest economic city in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City has many iconic places to visit such as Ben Thanh market, Nguyen Hue walking street, Grand Theater, etc. Street food in Ho Chi Minh city is very diverse and attractive. We can find almost all of the featuring dishes from all parts of Vietnam. The night markets are a true heaven for us to discover and try those foods, and we better prepare our wallets to eat as much as we can. Ho Chi Minh City can have almost all of the things that we want, and it is a really worthy place to live.

If you have a chance, you should go here and visit all the places in my city.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Mai

Dear Mike,

How are you? Today I am going to write to tell you about the city that I am living in. The place where I live is Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. In my city, there are many interesting things. About traffic, during the day, roads are full with vehicles and traffic congestion, especially at rush hours. The most popular transportation for local people in Hanoi to travel around is motorbikes. There are a lot of green trees, parks and lakes, which are the lungs of the city, keeping the air clean and fresh. Hanoi people are friendly, elegant and very hospitable. Coming to Hanoi, you should try the famous dishes here such as “Phở”, Hanoi Kebab rice noodles, noodle with fried tofu or shrimp paste.

If you have a chance, you should go here and visit all the places in my city.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Cheerful,

My Le
