Dr Wang
AS: Hi, Dr Wang! Hi, Wang Lin! Did you hear Elon Musk’s company just launched another rocket.
DW: Elon Musk Who’s he
AS: He’s the guy who founded a private space company, and also some other companies. The companies he founds are all really high-tech and futuristic. He's made millions of dollars.
WL: Oh, he must be a really smart guy, and so rich right now!
AS: Yes, I'd say he’s as famous as Bill Gates or Jack Ma now. They're really smart, too. Just think of all that money they must make!
DW: Well, you two, it's great that they've been able to become so successful and make all that money, but money isn’t everything. Just look at people like Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin, and Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, and my own personal hero, Dr Zhong Nanshan, who managed the SARS outbreak-they never made millions of dollars, but their contributions to health care have saved countless lives.
Anna Smith=AS; Dr Wang=DW; Wang Lin= WL
Tapescript:
WL: Yes, Dad, sorry. We know-they are great examples to everyone … But, you know, successful people like Bill Gates and Jack Ma have donated millions of dollars to charity, which should also count for something, right
DW: Well, you’re right on that point. They’re certainly being responsible in that way. Moreover, they’re good for working hard and becoming successful.
AS: Yes, exactly! And Dr Wang, I think you misunderstood me just now. I agree with you. I like those people because they have worked so hard to achieve their goals and have positive contributions to society. It's not just due to how much money they make. Elon Musk, for example, is trying to help the future of humankind, and Bill Gates has given us home computers. I think we need more creative people like them.
WL: Well, don’t forget Jack Ma’s contribution. Without him, I wouldn’t find it so easy to shop online! And by the way, Dad, if we’re talking about people who do good things and inspire us - you inspire me, Dad…
Anna Smith=AS; Dr Wang=DW; Wang Lin= WL

P6 3
She admires people that do good things and inspire her, because she mentions these two things when she talks about how wonderful her father is.
Because he doesn’t believe that money alone is a true measure of success.
Because they have worked so hard to achieve their goals and have positive contributions to society. She mentions Elon Musk and Bill Gates.
Good morning, everyone! I want to introduce a great man to you. The greatest person I know of is Dr. Zhong Nanshan, who sucessfully dealt with the SARS outbreaks in China in 2003. Now it's he who prevented the COVID-19 from quick spread all over the country once again. To me, greatness means sacrifice and devotion. Dr Zhong Nanshan risks himself in entering the isolated area to cure the patients and sharing his successful experience with other doctors at home and abroad. These days, he still works tirelessly to improve the health of our Chinese People and he always takes responsibility of helping others. Dr. Zhong Nanshan serves as a good role model and makes great contributions to society. That's all. Thank you!
Example
Post-Listening-Discussion
Jack: Bill, what makes these people great
Bill: Um, May I think about that for a moment
Jack: Jim, what's your opinion about it
Jim: I think it's the persistence that makes them great just like the father of India, er, ... It's on the tip of my tong, but ...
Bill: Mohatma Gandi.
Jim: Right.
Bill: Besides, I guess it's also their wisdom that keeps them free from the dangers till success like Mao Zedong.
Jack: You both are right.
