92) If you could meet a famous entertainer or athlete, who would that be, and why? Use 
specific reasons and examples to support your choice. 
 
(a) If I could meet a famous entertainer, it would be Mr. Steve Harvey. He is a good 
comedian and a sober actor. He speaks very good English and he always gives lessons to 
the audience. 
Mr. Steve Harvey is a comedian. He makes the people laugh. Watching his shows makes 
the audience tension-free. This would have a soothing effect on our hearts and brains. For 
instance, if somebody has a heart disease, he can feel good by laughing which watching 
his shows can do. Also some angry people can reduce their anger by watching his shows. 
He is a very sober actor. It means that he never appreciates vulgarity. We can watch his 
shows with our family and enjoy them. Now days, children are getting spoiled by watching 
TV. This is because TV encourages vulgarity.
Secondly, he speaks very good English. A foreigner can learn American accent by 
watching his shows. We can improve our vocabulary simply by enjoying simultaneously. 
And it’s very good for language learning children. 
Lastly he gives lessons in his shows, which are inspiring both for adults as well as 
children. Instead of watching some talk shows, parents can make their kids watch Steve 
Harvey show.

(b) I have always wanted to meet the 2002 Winter Olympics Gold Medal Champion Jamie 
Sale. Jamie is a figure skater; she skates with her partner David Pelletier, whom she is 
living with. There are many reasons why I would like to meet her. 
The first time I saw Jamie's performance was on television. She and David skated to their 
breath-taking program, "Love Story". Jamie's passion and sportsmanship caught my 
attention immediately. She was an enjoyment to watch, not only because of her technique, 
she also had a shinning smile during her performance. It was because of Jamie that I 
recognized that beauty of figure skating. 
Secondly, Jamie has won countless titles in figure skating; it would be interesting to meet 
with a successful woman like her. I understand that as a professional athlete, Jamie devotes 
most of her time practicing on ice. It would be nice to meet with someone with such 
devotion and determination to a sport. 
Lastly, but not least, there are many things that I would like to know about Jamie. Such as 
when did she start skating, who is her favorite skater, what other sports does she like, how 
long does she practices everyday etc.
Jamie Sale is truly an amazing skater. She is a wonder on ice. I would be eternally grateful 
if I could meet with this talented woman.
