And explain why you like him or her .
There are a number of person who I like but the one I’d particularly like to mention is Uncle Ho , the Vietnamese president . he was born in Hoang tru village ,kim lien commune , nam Dan district , Nge An province . I always consider Uncle Ho to be the most admirable person in my life

The reason why I like him is that he was the person who owned the firm belief in our nation’s independence , and our people ‘s freedom and happiness . he was the most influent person in Vietnamese revolution . he was the first vietnamese to travel abroad to find out the way leading the Vietnamese out of slavery . he had dedicated his whole life to our fatherland . second off all , he was a famous artist with talents . he composed a great deal of art work including many different genres . he had a good command of many foreign language such as French , Russia , Chinese . he was recognized is one of the world’s cultural celebrities by
Unesco .
Now, not only communist Party of Vietnam but also Vietnamese study and follow Uncle Ho’s examples.
In my opinion, he is the most influential person in the Vietnamese Revolution in the past and in the future. For these reasons, Uncle Ho is the person whom I admire the most.
PART III ( 4 min ) you’ve been talking about a famous person you like ,and I’d like to ask you some more general questions . let’s talk about CELERITY .
Question 1 : what are the advantages and disadvantages of being famous ?
It is widely believe that famous people have a wonderful life with no worry or problems . however , everything has two sides : advantages and disadvantages

To begin with ,the great advantages of being famous is that celebrities are usually very rich so that they have easier life than other people . they live in beautiful houses maintained by housekeepers , gaderners , cooks and other servants . they don’t to have to worry about paying bills , can afford the best clothes and drive the latest models of fast cars . what is more , hey spend their holidays in expensive resorts , get the best hotels room and the most efficient service . besides ,Celebrities and famous people have fans
Fans are the people who adore their celebrity idols. They can have celebrity crushes or even real life admiration for their idols. Fan mail and other forms of appreciation that celebrities receive can be inspirational, motivational and very humbling.
Last but not least ,Many opportunities arise when people become famous
When people become famous, more opportunities arise in life whether career related or not. For example, someone like Michael Jordan made a living not only from playing ball. He was the face of Nike and promotes many other brands.. Being famous definitely opens many doors in life which would have remained shut if fame had not been achieved. Many celebrities embark upon the entrepreneurship path as soon as they achieve stardom.
On the other hand, there are several disadvantages, they can`t go peaceful anywhere because paparazzi are waiting for take hundreds of photos, so they should be protected by bodyguards. Another disadvantage is that you have no time to spend with loved persons, you lack of private life owing to people are constantly judging everything you do. Sometimes newspapers, magazines and other kind of medias invent gossips about you.
Question 2 : what makes a person famous ?
Well, I think there are different ways to see what makes a person famous. One is the machinery behind the publicity and the marketing around the person, but I don’t think that’s a real honest way to be famous. I think if I have to choose I’d rather be famous for being honest, for being kind, and for trying to help and solve conflicts or problems in the world instead of being in a magazine, in the cover of a magazine…so my characteristics for a famous person I would go for honesty and kindness.
