Text 13 One day Mr and Mrs Wilson and their children were going to begin their holiday, and they had to be at the airport at eleven forty in the morning. “It’ll take us half an hour to get there in the car,” Mr Wilson said, “so we all have to be ready by eleven o’clock. Nobody should be late. ” At ten minutes to eleven they were still all running around doing things, except Mrs Wilson. She was sitting quietly on a chair in the garden enjoying the sun. Her husband and children were surprised that she wasn’t in a hurry. When they sat in the car, Mrs Wilson said to them, “Well, I knew that this was going to happen, so before I went to bed last night, I moved all the clocks ahead twenty minutes. So now we can go to the airport quietly without worrying about being late.”

He is one of the greatest inventors in the world. He was both creative and hard-working. In his life, he had more than 1,000 inventions, including the light, so he is called “Father of invention”. Today, his inventions still have a great effect on people’s lives. I like Edison because he is a man full of wisdom. From him, I learn how important it is for a person to have dreams and work hard. It is your dreams that help to achieve success. Sample 2: My favourite person is Jin Jing, a disabled fencer. Jin was born in 1981. In 1989, she became seriously ill and later lost her legs. Though she is disabled, she never gives up and still works hard to be a good fencer. In 2008, Jin became one of the Olympic torch bearer. She tried her best to protect the torch when it was attacked in Paris. Jin has set an excellent example to all of us. I like him because she is a girl full of courage. Her story tells us that we should always smile to life and be brave enough to face any difficulty. Sample 3: My favorite person is Audrey Hepburn, one of the greatest actresses. Hepburn was born in 1929 and passed away in 1993. She was always attractive and elegant. Hepburn was a talented actress. She won many awards in her life. Roman Holiday was one of her best films. I like watching it very much. Hepburn was also a great humanitarian. She devoted much of her time to charity. She spent the last few years of her life helping the poor children in different parts of the world. I like her because I think she is not only charming in appearance, but also beautiful inside. She is a beautiful angel full of love.
