​Subject: Writing a biography

​

​Hi Alan!

​

​My English teacher wants us to write a biography of a famous person. Should I write about Dr Jemilah Mahmood, the founder of MERCY Malaysia, Yuva, the popular singer or Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook?

​I know you had written a biography for your school project earlier so do you have any ideas?

​Thanks a lot!
