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.

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.
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.

makes great contributions to society
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, summarizing the infected but recovered cases 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

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 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

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.
