: Model Answer

Admiration to any individual comes from the heart and requires lots of endeavours as well. I admire a man in my family from my teenage for his extraordinary qualities

He is the uncle of mine, the husband of my maternal aunt. Looks like a Hollywood hero with a height of 6’۱”. He loves me very much and is always with our family in both our happiness and sorrows. He is a man of special qualities and is a very good teacher too. I mostly like him for his outstanding ability to teach mathematics and he makes the lessons easy and clearer. Moreover, he can sing very well and his paintings are superb. When I used to learn mathematics from him, he made all the logics and complexities clear to me within the shortest time and I had a good score on that final exam

I was a kid of nine or ten when my aunt Sofia was married to Mr. Alexander Cumberland. As I was highly busy with my studies, I did not have enough chance to meet him frequently. When he came to our apartment, I did not have much interaction with him. But gradually I started realising that he is a man of skill and special qualities. One night, he started singing a melodious song at a party in our apartment to entertain the visitors, and he presented me a very nice painting on my 13th birthday that I later came to know was painted by him. But I came to his close contact when I needed to complete the complex mathematics for my final exam in my sixth grade

Although in the beginning, I failed to manage time to spend with my uncle, I managed it later when the exams were over. I passed few weeks with him and found that he is a great man. He is sincere, likes to talk straight, punctual, and sympathetic to others; and filled with other special qualities which are absent among the common people. He is kind and helps the poor based on his ability, never ill-treats anyone and always busy with his own activities. I have not seen him getting engaged in a gossip which is another cause for me to admire him. He is softhearted giant and never hurts people. He is punctual and I have never seen him missing appointments

Earlier, I told that I had less chance to meet him, but now I regularly meet him (at least twice a week) for different purposes and I find a different taste in passing times with him. When he paints, he keeps me with him to discuss different issues and he invents ideas for painting during the conversation, according to him. Besides, when my father is out of the state, he takes care of my family like his own. He never allows us to feel alone and he is a must for any of the familiar occasions in our family. He cheers up the participants and creates a pleasant noise there which increases the beauty of the events. For all these reasons, I admire him most
