Some hints for writing.

 

Writing a profile of a famous person    

  1.When you write a profile of a famous person we usually divide it into four paragraphs.

In the first paragraph, we write who the person is and why he/she is important.

In the second paragraph, we write about the person’s early life (i.e. when and where he/she was born, his/her childhood, the school he/she attended, etc.)

In the third paragraph, we write about the person’s later life, (i.e. his/her career and important events in his/her life, in chronological order).

In the last paragraph, we write about the person’s character, likes and plans.
