A2-B1 LEVEL

A role model for me is my little sister. Her name is Joana. She is 11 years old and she's in 6th year in primary school in our town.

She has a physical disability.  However, she loves playing sports and doesn't like to be quiet at home. Her favourite moment of the day is when she walks our dog out, Piga. They are close friends and they always sleep together. My sister didn't speak well when she was little and had to learn with speech therapy, but now she communicates better and is more confident. She is courageous, brave and cheerful, even though she sometimes feels exhausted. Plus, she is always smiling and lifting everyone's spirits. 

I look up to her, and she is my hero because she fights every day to have an ordinary life, although she struggles more than most people. 

B2-C1 LEVEL

A role model for me is my younger sister, Joana. She is 11 years old and currently in her final year of primary school. Despite her young age, she has already faced more challenges than most people, as she was born with a physical disability.

What stands out the most about Joana is her boundless energy and love for sports. She is always on the move and never one to sit still at home. One of her favourite activities is taking our dog, Piga, for a walk. They share a special bond and even sleep together at night.

As a child, Joana struggled with speech, which required years of speech therapy. Today, however, she speaks more fluently and has gained confidence in expressing herself. Her courage, positivity, and resilience are truly inspiring, even on the days when she feels tired or overwhelmed. She never lets her challenges get the best of her and continues to greet each day with a smile, lifting the spirits of everyone around her.

I admire Joana deeply because, despite her struggles, she strives every day to live an ordinary life. She is, without a doubt, my hero and a constant source of inspiration.
