PART 3: SAMPLE WRITING

My father is the person who is closest to me. (Who is he/she, what is relationship) He’s medium
height with a bit of gray in his hair and a warm smile. (Appearance) What I appreciate most
about him is how calm and wise he is, even when things get tough. He works hard for our family
and always makes time for us.

One of the things I love most about his personality is his sense of humor. Dad's jokes and funny
comments can make a sad day happier. Dad teaches me important things about life and always
supports me. He's not just a dad; he's like a friend I can rely on (your feeling)
