IELTS Speaking Part-2 A person who often helps others

Describe a person who often helps others

You should say:

·         Who the person is

·         What the person does

·         Why this person helps others

·         And explain how you feel about this person

I was struggling to decide who to talk about because, to be perfectly honest, I couldn’t think of anyone. Don’t get me wrong, I do have helpful friends, but I’d struggle to talk about them for two minutes so the first person that I thought of outside of my friends and family was Bill Gates and his wife. Her name has slipped my mind so apologies for referring to her as ‘his wife’.

As you are probably aware, Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft. He established this company in the 1970s and it went on to become one of the most successful and profitable corporations in the world. As far as I know, he retired or semi-retired from the company a decade or so ago and he set up a charitable foundation with his wife.

I think I am right in saying that it is the world’s largest private charity. Obviously, as the world’s richest person, no, in actual fact, I think he is the second world’s richest person now, some may argue he should do this, but I disagree, if he wanted to enjoy his retirement chilling out in the sun all day, that’s fine by me.

Don’t quote me on this, but I believe that through his charity he has given away just under 50% of his wealth. Personally, I think that’s incredible. I know he has an astronomical amount of money, but still, it’s pretty amazing. He worked hard for his money, he wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth* and through his hard work, he is helping others.

Again, I’m not entirely sure, but I have a feeling that the main work of the foundation is people’s health. Going from being one of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs to the world’s greatest philanthropist* makes Bill Gates someone who must be admired.

Describe a Person Who Often Helps Others

One person who comes to mind when thinking about someone who frequently helps others is Bill Gates, along with his wife, Melinda Gates. Bill Gates, as many people know, is the co-founder of Microsoft. Since he retired from the company, he has dedicated much of his time and resources to philanthropy through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The Gates Foundation is recognized as one of the largest and most influential charitable organizations in the world. It focuses on various global issues, including healthcare, education, and poverty alleviation. The foundation aims to tackle some of the most pressing challenges, such as improving public health, reducing the spread of diseases like malaria and tuberculosis, and promoting educational opportunities.

Bill Gates and his wife Melinda are driven by a strong sense of responsibility and a desire to make a meaningful impact on the world. They have used their immense wealth to fund numerous projects and initiatives that aim to improve the quality of life for people in need. Their charitable work is not just about giving away money but also about creating sustainable solutions and fostering long-term change.

I have great admiration for Bill Gates and his philanthropic efforts. The fact that he has chosen to use his wealth and influence to address critical global issues is truly commendable. Despite his substantial financial success, he has chosen to focus on helping others rather than simply enjoying a life of luxury. His transition from being a leading entrepreneur to becoming a prominent philanthropist highlights his commitment to making a positive difference in the world.

In summary, Bill Gates, along with his wife Melinda, is a remarkable example of someone who uses their resources and influence to help others. Their dedication to improving global health, education, and poverty alleviation makes them a truly admirable figure.
