When we write a short biography of a person, we divide it into four paragraphs. In the introduction, we write the person's name, date of birth (and death), and why he/she is famous or important. In the second paragraph, we write abour his/her family background, childhood and education. In the third paragraph, we write about his/her career and achievements. In the conclusion we write our comments and feelings about the person and their work. We usually use past tenses when we write a biography, except in the conclusion, where we can use present or future forms.
