Third Person Singular - One Minute Grammar

Cheryl / Guamflag

Who is a person you admire?

A famous person that I love and admire from my county, which is Hong Kong is probably Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan is a very well known actor and a martial arts specialist. He does a lot of movies and in almost all his movies he does almost all of his own stunts.

I really admire him because he brings a side of kindness and love to the screen because all the characters he plays are really, really good people. They're usually heroes and he is also able to introduce the people of the world to Hong Kong because he also does a lot of tourism promotions and he helps bring a lot of attention to his homeland.
