A. What to do?

Write a biography of the person you admire the most. This person can be, for
example, a public figure, a celebrity, a politician, a world leader or someone

of this learning activity.

B. How to do it?

You need to carry out some research in order to collect the necessary
information for writing the biography. If the person chosen is a public figure,

the contrary, if the person chose is someone you know personally, you can set
up an interview in order to ask the person the questions you may have about
his / her life.

chosen Charles Darwin (public figure), an influential scientist of the
nineteenth century, as example for the outline.

Latin world but internationally, but all the success is also the result of hard
work and for other reasons that I will name below:

Nicky Jam has shown that he has a great talent for music. He is one of the
main exponents of the urban genre, he remains simple despite being one of
the brightest stars today worldwide, Nicky Jam is still the same as always.

He overcame his addictions, like many other artists, he was involved in

addictions at some point in his life, but fortunately he managed to overcome
his problem and focus on his work, family and friends that helped him to
leave that dark stage of his life behind. he remembers his friends through
thick and thin Nicky Jam has always been known for giving credit where he
deserves it, and he has never forgotten his friends.
