Discussion
Who is somebody you admire and why
Isaac Newton is someone I admire because he helped explain how the universe works through his discoveries in gravity and motion. He is inspiring because he was curious, hard-working, and persistent, and he never gave up on finding answers.
For example
Sima Qian
He was a Chinese historian who made important discoveries in history and literature. He wrote Records of the Grand Historian, which helps people understand ancient Chinese history today. He did not have an easy life, but he worked very hard and became a great historian. He was also a good writer and gave many vivid historical descriptions. His work helped shape modern day historical studies.
【145BC-86BC】
When he was in his prime, he devoted himself to researching and cultivating hybrid rice through countless field experiments. His groundbreaking achievement of high-yield hybrid rice was comparable to igniting an endless hope of survival for human civilization.
【1930-2021】
Yuan Longping
Michael Faraday
迈克尔·法拉第
【1791-1867】
He was a British scientist who made important
discoveries in electricity and magnetism. He discovered electromagnetic induction, which helps produce electricity today. He did not have much formaleducation, but he worked very hard and became a great scientist. He was also a good teacher and gave many popular lectures. His work helped shape modern science and technology.
Marie Curie
She was a famous scientist known for her work on radio activity. She discovered two new elements. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and also the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two different fields-chemistry and physics. Her work greatly helped the development of modern science and medicine.
【1867-1934】

Conversation 1
Listening scripts
Ms Gao: Who do your parents or grandparents admire Do you know, Fu Xing
Fu Xing: Yes, Ms Gao. My father loves history. He admires Sima Qian.
Ms Gao: Ah yes, the author of the book Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian).

Fu Xing: Oh, I didn’t know that. But I know he was the kind of person who
never gave up.
Ms Gao: Right. It’s always important to keep going in life. What about you, Emma
Emma: My grandma told me about Marie Curie, a great scientist. She made
many important discoveries in physics and chemistry.
Ms Gao: Yes. I admire Madame Curie too! It was difficult for women to do that
kind of work back in those days. And she won two Nobel Prizes!
