Activity 6: Read Stephen Hawking’s story again and find out what language features were used to illustrate more of his qualities and echo with the title “A World of Pure Thought”.
A World of Pure Thought
Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous and gifted scientists in physics. Most people are familiar with images of him in his wheelchair, unable to move and using a computer to talk. Since he came down with a disease which cause him to lose the use of most of his muscles, his world became one of abstract thought.
A World of Pure Thought
a topic paragraph to claim his unique personalities
So, what made Stephen Hawking a genius Besides being brilliant, he was brave, though sometimes careless in what he said or did. He was willing to say what others were afraid to say, and to dream of what others were afraid to dream about. Furthermore, he was quite determined. This had helped him as a scientist, and had helped him even in his fight against his disease. Above all, Hawking was willing to admit his faults. This odd combination of characteristics had made him one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

In short, they have the perseverance to chase down solutions to big problems and not let discouragement set in during their discovery process.
Writing Sample
Para. 2: quality 1 + story
We can see this in Qian Xuesen’s life, pioneering to another country to work with and inspire like-minded people in his field and to cooperate on their work. We can see it in his enthusiasm/vigor to return to China and lead the aerospace programme through its birthing stages.

Para. 4: significance & inspiration
The definition of the scientific spirit is to, above all else, be willing and able to grasp a problem or a question and not let go of it until knowledge, creative power, and team efforts have brought a clear answer.
Then this same mind must believe in its findings enough to bravely present them, prove and perfect them for the betterment of the quality and progress of life all over the world. It is to look squarely, ask questions, and never give up trying.
