How can you become a great person
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
No, they aren’t. Some great people are well known, while many others do great things quietly and never become famous. They still make important contributions.
To become a great person, we should develop good qualities. We need to study hard, be creative and brave. We should try our best to make contributions to people around us, even in small ways.
Role-play. Act as a teacher and students, re-create the listening conversation, then add 1 new question about a Chinese great person (e.g., "What did Tu Youyou contribute to the world ") and answer it.
