Sample 1: Describe a famous person you would like to meet.

A celebrity that I’d be honored to meet is Taylor Swift. Swift is an acclaimed musician who has acquired a global reputation for numerous hits over the past 20 years. She is also widely known for her exceptional song-writing ability.

I started listening to Taylor Swift’s music since middle school. I’ve been a huge fan of hers ever since. I find her tunes incredibly catchy and have always admired her lyrical skills. Also, through watching numerous interviews and talk shows featuring Taylor, I’ve come to adore her calm and collected personality, which is why I’d love to be able to interact with her in person.

Furthermore, Taylor Swift has long been my role model for many reasons. She’s not only a talented musician but also an independent and headstrong woman, who works hard to achieve her goals and fight for what she believes in. She never lets backlash and criticism get in the way of her success. It would be wonderful if I could simply chat with her over coffee about how she has overcome drawbacks in her career. I could learn a lot from that.

Sample 2: Describe a member in your family

I'm going to talk about my grandfather, who took excellent care of me when I was a child. He's currently 80 years old and lives with my parents in Dong Nai province, not far from here.

First and foremost, he is a really knowledgeable individual. He used to travel a lot when he was younger. I know he has dealt with a variety of issues, so he has a wealth of useful knowledge and life lessons to share with his children and grandkids. I recall falling off my bike numerous times when I initially started learning to ride a bike. I wanted to quit every time I fell, but he urged me, 'No matter how difficult a situation is, never give up.' It's alright if you fail!

It's alright if you fail! You can do anything if you put your heart into it.' What he said is incredibly inspiring and meaningful to me.

Second, he is a caring individual. My parents were both quite busy with work when I was a youngster, so I spent most of my time at home with Grandpa. My grandfather told me that when I was little, I was really mischievous. If I desired anything, I would cry for hours until I had it. I know he adores me since he frequently gives me what I want without informing my parents.

Finally, he is really nice and generous. He devotes a significant amount of time to volunteer activities such as local environmental campaigns and other community service projects.

I miss him terribly, and I know he misses me as well. Despite the fact that I am currently quite busy with work, I still manage to visit him every two months. So, if I had to choose someone who looked after me as a child, it would have to be my grandfather.
