What rhetorical devices(修辞手法) are used in the passage Give examples.
Discuss in pairs
①: Apart from his remarkable achievements, what does the passage tell us about Einstein's life
②: What impressed you most about Einstein State your reasons.
Though he was brilliant, he was also a person who faced struggles, for example, when he failed to pass his university entrance exam, when he failed to get a good job, and when he had to flee Germany.
I am impressed most by how friendly and easy he was to approach. Even when he was busy and did not want to be bothered, he still found a way to deal with people in gentleness and good humour.

The person I admire most is my mother. While she is not famous, she did something quite extraordinary.
She is a doctor in Beijing, and on 7 February 2020,she went with a group of doctors and nurses to Wuhan to help in the fight against COVID-19. I was nervous about her going, but she told me not to worry because she was doing what was required of her job to save lives. While she was in Wuhan, she had to work very long hours, with little sleep or rest in between. At one time, a colleague of hers collapsed from exhaustion. My mom was near the end of her own shift, but she chose to continue and take over the work from her colleague. My mom was helping some of the sickest patients, but this didn't stop her from carrying out her responsibilities. She's back home now, but I'm certain that she saved many lives from her hard work and dedication during those few weeks.
She is a hero and an inspiration to me, because she put herself in harm’s way in order to save many people. Thanks to her, I will strive to think of others more than myself and work hard to help people.
THANKS
