Sample talk as a solution for communicative task „EXPERIENCE PROBLEM‟

 

QUESTION: Whom do you find the most inspirational person of all? Describe the person and explain why you find him/her so.

 

OR: Whom do you find the most inspirational person of all? Describe this person and give specific examples why he or she is so exciting for you.

 

A person who has really inspired me is J. K. Rowling.

 

She's the author of the internationally acclaimed and very successful Harry Potter series.

 

One of the main reasons I'm very inspired by her is that I'm a budding writer myself -- I'm veryinterested in fantasy fiction -- and, you know, she's shown that it is possible to be successful as a writer in this genre, even in an age where children are increasingly infatuated with things like video games and digital products.

 

And the second reason is that, as I understand it, she wrote the series under co-, you know, withconsiderable hardships. She was a single mother, she didn't have a lot of income, and she still forged ahead and, well, achieved her dream - and that really inspires me.
