I’d like to talk about one of my role models when I was a teen. That was J. K. Rowling, the great novelist who wrote ‘Harry Potter’. Actually, I got to know about her after I watched the film ‘Harry Potter’.
Finding the film so exciting, I decided to go to the bookstore near my home together with my mom to buy the book and I also searched for more information about the author on the internet. It turned out that J. K. Rowling was kinda a poor and unknown British woman prior to her success with ‘Harry Potter’, but this book, along with the movie, made her an internationally famous writer and billionaire.
Back then I was a little girl keen on reading comics or story books, especially those with fantasy stories, so J. K. Rowling immediately became somebody I looked up to and really wanted to be similar to, cuz I also dreamed of creating a masterpiece and becoming a billionaire. It was funny, huh? Now that I’ve grown up, I’ve become more realistic and I’m actually planning to find a job as a fashion designer. However, my teenage dream remains so sweet that one day I may change my mind again. Who knows?

When I was growing up, I wished that I could be like many people. But I want to focus on my aunt, who I always wished I could be. She is the mother of my cousin and a licensed physician. She is currently in her early fifties and still has a youthful, attractive appearance. She has lovely skin and short, Mời bạn cùng nghe Podcast bài mẫu Part 2 của Mytour nhé: hair. She has a dimple on her right cheek when she grins, which gives her a cute appearance.
I can clearly recall how I first met her at a family event when I was in the ninth grade. She was from Hanoi and appeared to be a favorite of the entire family. She speaks in a manner that I find to be impressive, therefore I enjoy that.
I could also see how everyone was gazing up at her with admiration. She hugged me strongly and offered me a warm grin as my father introduced us. And I started to feel a strong sense of affection for her right away. I then stayed at her side the entire day, acting as her shadow.
Additionally, my father invited her to stay with us for a few days. She began preparing to visit us and spent the weekend with our family. Those three days remain memorable to me. My aunt currently resides in Hanoi, and the thought of studying there alongside her brings me joy.Key Vocabulary
