Task 1
A great man, a great role model
Nelson Mandela was born July 18, 1918 in South Africa, and he was a freedom fighter. He played an essential role in the human rights movement in South Africa. He is a role model for many people, but why? In this text, I am going to write about why he is an excellent role model for so many people.

I am tired of people claiming they don’t have time for exercise, the world’s health organization (WHO), recommends only thirty minutes of daily exercise to maintain a healthy way of life. I don’t have a driver license, but I always walk to school and when we are going out, I always suggests walking for my parents. No more excuses, start exercising and start saving the
