I also admire for his creative songwriting and noteworthy songs. He is, in fact, one of the most influential songwriters and singers of all time and I respect him greatly. He was born in 1941 in the USA and due to his remarkable contributions to literature, he was awarded the Nobel Prize recently.  The Nobel Prize for literature is awarded both for lasting literary merit and for evidence of consistent idealism to a great extent. Dylan's songs have such creativity, consistent idealism and universal appeal and without any doubt, he is a very talented and creative person. He is such a powerful and influential singer that his song like 'The times they are a-changing' and 'Blowing in the wind' became anthems for the American civil rights and anti-war movements.   His creative and dazzling lyrics incorporate a vast range of social, political, psychological, philosophical, and literary influences. As a musician, he has sold more than 10 million records. Besides, he is also a talented painter.   I knew him first when I  heard his song 'Slow Train' from his album 'Slow Train Coming' in my early college days. I have explored his music and heard most of the songs sung by him. I have also read several articles online about him and his works. I know him as a revered songwriter and he is one of my favourite singers of all time.   I admire him mostly because of his talent and outstanding contribution to the music, lyrics, and literary works through his songwriting. There were times when his music personally inspired me, motivated me and helped me forget my pain. I have never met him in person but he seems like someone I know for a long and very closely. I respect him as a great musician, admire him as a songwriter and consider him one of the greatest minds of the present era.     Sample Answer 2: I like to watch movies of different genres and never miss any single chance to enjoy them wherever I am. Hence, the name- Steven Spielberg is very usual to me. He is one of the most successful Hollywood film directors and in my opinion one of the most talented and creative people alive. I would like to thank you for this opportunity to let me talk about a creative person. Steven Allan Spielberg is commonly known as Steven Spielberg. He was born in 1946. He is not only a director of some awesome movies, he is also highly reputed as a producer and his extraordinary skills as a scriptwriter. In fact, Hollywood has entered into a new era with the direct support from Spielberg. He introduced some of the newest genres and made them popular with his charming direction. As a result, he took a permanent berth in the history of Hollywood. Besides, the list of achievements for his efforts is adorable as well. He won several prestigious awards for his outstanding activities, including the Academy Award, with plots, casts and their performance. Steven Spielberg is not only creative; he is a genius. Most of his movies deal with some exceptional issues. Consequently, he won the hearts of the global population. He is on moviemaking career for over 40 years and has made a notable number of quality movies. The movies directed by Spielberg are quite different from the contemporary ideas. He initiated the Science Fiction in Hollywood and after its success, he moved to make movies on humanitarian grounds. Some of his movies have created a sense of justification among his audiences. He mostly experimented with some specific genres and made the masterpieces with his magical ability. He knows how to select casts and crews and never cuts ties with the people he comes in touch. This is the key reason behind his popularity. When I was a teenager, I used to watch movies for entertainment. In fact, I was not matured enough to understand the movie plots of performances from the casts. Hence, there was no specific selection. One day, I watched a movie named Jaws and it attracted me most. Then I started gathering information about the movie and finally came to know about the movie director – Steven Spielberg. Until then, I did not have any interest in the movie makers or their plots. I just watched the movies for my entertainment and loved the movies that come with actions. But gradually the sense of appreciation grew into me. Then I was charmed with this movie maker of Hollywood. After starting his career in Hollywood, Spielberg experimented on some specific genres which were overlooked before. He revived them with his own efforts. He worked on many themes and genres of movie making in ages and turned out to be a successful director. It was not merely his luck that dragged him towards success, rather it was his hard efforts and perseverance. Almost all of the movies he made were successful and brought him the reputation of a great director. I have enjoyed all of his movies made so far and realised the different tastes. Each of the movies is completely different in terms of plots, cast, locations, innovative ideas, application of technology and more other issues while some of the movies have broken the box office records. For all such reasons, I admire him most.    More Ideas to talk about this Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card topic: Topic: Describe a creative person whom you admire. 1. Steven Paul Jobs (better known as Steve Jobs) was a very creative person. He was creative in the sense that he had started a new trend in the technological arena. He was an inventor and industrial designer. I came to know about him while using an iPhone. I did not have an idea that the smartphone is the brainchild of this person. He is admirable to me for his contribution to the technology. He played an important role in the improvement of the microcomputer and mobile phones. 2. In the film industry of Bollywood, the name of Aamir Khan is on the list of most creative persons. He is a film actor, host, activist and producer. He knows how to win the heart of people with an emotional touch. He applies some unconventional methods to express his creativity and finally he wins everything he desired. I knew him from my childhood for his special performances in the movies and got amazed at his capacity to portray the characters. I admire Aamir Khan as he has established himself as one of the most popular figures of the country although his beginning was not that much prominent. 3. Leonardo da Vinci was a famous painter and mostly known for his portrait – Mona Lisa. He had a deep sense about everything and he used the sense in his paintings. Almost all the paintings from this great painter are thought-provoking. A man without creativity is unable to arouse the curiosity of world. In fact, he is a subject to study for many. I first read the name in my history book and it described him as the greatest painters of all the time in the world. I admire him for his multifarious talents. 4. At present, life without a social platform like Facebook is unimaginable. And the man behind the platform is Mark Zuckerberg. He had a great vision even before anyone else thought it.
