You should say:
who that person is
what that person looks like
what kind of person he or she is
and explain why you admire that person
It’s kinda hard for me to choose one member in my family to talk about as I always feel very close to them and love them equally. But if I had to pick one whom I admire the most, that would definitely be my dad.
Physically, even though he’s getting on for 70, he’s still hale and hearty. Every morning, he enjoys strolling around our neighbourhood before coming back home for breakfast. That’s why he still looks much younger than his real age, despite his salt-and-pepper / pepper-and-salt hair and fine wrinkles around his eyes.
I could say without the slightest hesitation that he’s among the most hard-working persons I’ve ever known in my life. I still vividly remember when I was just a little boy, you know, 5 or 6 years old, he could stay up very late and even overnight to finish his projects. For him, burning the midnight oil has been part of his life. Of course, my mom does complain sometimes and they still have some minor tiffs, just like any other couple out there.
I suppose the main reason why I admire him so much is that he knows how to manage his time wisely and however busy he is, he’s able to strike a balance between time for work and for family. He’s also my 1st English teacher, and he has kindled my lifelong passion for it. If I’m not mistaken, he’s incredibly creative and good with his hands as well. I still keep some of his toy models he made for me and my siblings and they are always our most prized possessions in life.
