Here is an example:-
My grandfather is the most generous person I know. He worked two jobs, one as a barber, the other as a part-time tailor, thirteen hours per day, six days a week for forty year. He sent his three children through college and paid their tuition fees. My father and my two aunts weren’t spoiled, but Grand Pa gave them all they needed to live a comfortable life. Now at the age of seventy, he is still working so he can help his grandchildren, some of whom are beginning college this year. Moreover, my grandfather serves his community. He is a member of charity organization that helps homeless children. A hero, for me, someone who dedicates his life to others, that is my grandfather.
Topic Sentence:
My grandfather is the most generous person I know.
