In this lesson, we will explore how to write about an inspirational person and express our opinions about their impact on our lives.
Definition and Concept
A role model is someone we look up to and admire. They can influence our thoughts, behaviors, and decisions. When we write about role models, we share their qualities, achievements, and the reasons they inspire us.

Historical Context or Origin
The concept of role models has existed for centuries. In various cultures, figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mother Teresa have inspired millions through their actions and beliefs. Their legacies teach us about compassion, courage, and the importance of standing up for what is right.
Understanding the Problem
When writing about a role model, consider the following:
- Who is your role model?

Methods to Solve the Problem with different types of problems
Method 1: Brainstorming
Start by listing potential role models. Think about family members, friends, historical figures, or celebrities. Write down what you admire about each person.
Method 2: Organizing Your Thoughts
Create an outline for your writing. Include an introduction, body paragraphs that discuss different aspects of your role model, and a conclusion.
