Describe a person you admire - IELTS speaking

Bài viết 1

   Usually, people may admire a celebrity or a well-known businessmen/women. But for me, I’d like to talk about Gwen who is my girlfriend. I have known her since high school but not until our sophomore year in university that we started dating and she is definitely one of a few people that I admire a lot.

   I adore her not only for her appearance but also her intelligence and the way she think of life…Well actually I admired her look first, the other parts kicked in when I got to know her more deeply.

   I still remember the first time we got to know each other was during our class reunion in Paris. I don’t know if it was because of Paris or not but it was magical, I think that was the first time I blushed seeing a girl. The conversation started in a formal manner, but ended up being just like an intimate chat between close friends, because we shared so many common things in our interests and background. She struck me with her thoughtfulness and a bright smile.

   She’s not only a beautiful girl but also a logical and intelligent person. She always see things under multiple perspectives and never assume or judge anybody or anything. She’s also very diligent. As a matter of fact, she’s already paying for her sister tuition fee and provide for herself conveniently. That is why I admire her as a person so much.

   We are in a distant relationship now and because of the different time zone, we can’t talk frequently but I’m trying to get close to her as soon as possible.

   Today I’m going to tell you about a businessman that I really admire and respect. I live in a beautiful and peaceful street and most of my neighbors are working for companies or running their own enterprises. Among them, I would pick Mr. Vincent as the most admirable businessman I have ever met. 

    Mr. Vincent is 30 years old and he established his first company when he was only 26. His company trades medical equipment, and it’s name is Viet Sun. He has acquired a reputation as a profound and dedicatedperson to his work, I usually find him leaving for work early and getting home late. Even on weekends, instead of hanging out with friends, he is still glued to his computer screen.

    Despite being older than me by nearly 10 years but he looks really young and is always full of energy. Few people have the great passion and relevant skills to pursue to their goals. Mr. Vincent is one of those who could achieve his dream by himself at the age of 26, and this is what I find most appealing about him. 

   Another of his lovely traits is definitely his wise advice. Therefore, whenever I feel discouraged, I will seek his advice. I have learnt many useful things from him, not only in everyday things, but also in attitudes to life.

   To me, he is not just a normal businessman, but a person whom I can share things with and learn many things from. I really owe a lot of gratitude to him.
