Пример ответа (около 2 минут)
I'd like to talk about my aunt, Dilnoza, who's a doctor in Bukhara. She's my mother's older sister, and she's probably the person who has influenced me most outside my immediate family.
I got to know her really well because, when I was a child, I used to spend every summer at her house. My parents were both working, so I'd stay with her for a month or so, and I remember following her around and asking endless questions.
She works at the regional hospital, mostly in the emergency department, which means she often does night shifts. What really stands out, though, is that on her days off she gives free check-ups to elderly people in her neighbourhood, many of whom can't easily travel to a clinic.
As for why I admire her, the main thing is how calm she stays under pressure. I once saw her deal with a serious accident on the street, and while everyone else was panicking, she just took charge. Besides that, I've never heard her complain about how tiring her job is, even though it obviously is.
I think she's the reason I've always wanted a job where I can actually help people. Even if I don't end up in medicine, I'd like to have even half of her patience.

Part 3: вопросы для обсуждения
What qualities make someone a good role model?
I'd say consistency matters most. A good role model behaves the same way when nobody is watching, so young people learn from what they actually do rather than what they say. Patience and honesty come close behind.
Do young people today admire different people from the past?
To some extent, yes. My parents' generation looked up to teachers and doctors in their own community, whereas many teenagers now admire online personalities they've never met. That's not always bad, but it can give them unrealistic ideas about success.
Should famous people be role models?
Is it important for children to have role models in their family?
