While-listening
Listen for reasons
When people give their opinions or decisions on a matter, they often give reasons for them. Sometimes, the reason is introduced by words such as because or due to. At other times, the reason is given right after the opinion or decision, and the link can be inferred.

Dr Wang advises that when you are young, it is very important to find out what really interests you. Also, never lose interest in it when it seems a bit too hard for you. I agree with him because great people challenge themselves to solve difficult problems. It helps them reach their goals and achieve great things.
Dr Wang: Hi, Anna, please come in.
Anna Smith: Hi, Dr Wang! Long time no see!
Dr Wang: Yes, so you’re here to see Wang Le
Anna: Yes, we’re doing a career-planning project together.
Wang Le: Hi, Anna!
Dr Wang: So I’ll leave you two alone…
Anna Smith: Please don’t go, Dr Wang. Actually, we were planning to interview you. Do you have time now
Dr Wang: me
Wang Le: Yes, Dad. We want to know what made you choose your career as a doctor.
Dr Wang: That’s a good question. Well, long story short, I’ve always wanted to do great things and help people, which might explain why I entered this line of work.
Listening text
Anna Smith: So were there any people who influenced you
Dr Wang: Oh, for sure. I would say people like Dr Zhong Nanshan, who managed the SARS outbreak back in 2003, and Dr Wu Mengchao, who performed liver operations well into his 90s.
Anna Smith: So they were like your role models
Dr Wang: Yes, exactly. I admired them because I saw the greatness in them. You two must have role models too, right
Wang Le: Yes, that’s right. One of mine is Tu Youyou, whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin. I really admire people like her.
Anna Smith: My personal heroes are Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin, and Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. Countless lives were saved due to their amazing work.
Dr Wang: Those are certainly some great people. I admire them too.
Anna Smith: So, Dr Wang, what advice do you have for us, the younger generation
Dr Wang: I think when you are young, it is very important to find out what really interests you. Also, never lose interest in it when it seems a bit too hard for you.
Anna Smith: Thanks, Dr Wang, that’s really good advice! Successful people always push themselves to do difficult things.
Dr Wang: That’s right, Anna. They challenge themselves to solve difficult problems. It helps them reach their goals and achieve great things.
