This article is a good example of a recount essay. 'Describe someone' does not mean just describe his/her physical appearance; it can be about describing your interactions with him/her, the things he/she does, esp for you.....
If u study the structure carefully, it appears to be in bundles of describing what Kong Kong did, followed by the impact on the writer. Bundles of these two components are repeated throughout the writing.

Opening BANG:
-powerful start to intro by announcing the death of the person; a useful tool for triggering the past of the person, i.e. the footprints he left behind. Note that this is a personal qn, requiring personal experience and examples

Be careful of informal language elements like "You see" (para 5), "Well" (para 22). They are speech markers indicative of informal language, You want to go easy on these during exams, given that you are expected to write in a formal -- albeit personal -- style, unless of course, it's within direct speech.

Qn: Describe someone who means a great deat to you. What impact does he or she have on you?
