Which punctuation should be used after take sth as an example?
Dear Madam/Sir
I am confused by the use of a puctuation after take sth as an example. Here are two sentences.
1.
A good parent should possess some good qualities, especially when facing her children. Take my mother as an example of a model parent. She is patent, kind and hard-working. Not only does she take good care of me, but she also encourages me to study and work hard in order to realize my dream.
I read those two paragraph in the same textbook but the use of a puctuation is different.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Faithfully,
Lucy Liu

Hi In my opinion, the colon ( : ) would be accurate in this case since you'll explain why she's a model of parenting.
