A Person I Admire My dad is a person I admire. He is 40 years old. He is kind and hardworking. My dad is not a boring person. He loves making jokes. On Sundays, we like playing basketball in Tsing Yi Park. We are interested in basketball because we love sports very much. Every day, he goes to work very early. He is a good policeman. Last year, he caught a robber in Tsuen Wan. I was proud of him. After work, he helps me with my homework and helps my mum with the housework. I will try my best to work harder at school. I hope I could be a good policeman like my dad when I grow up.
