Yang Jin and Leo are also talking about the ways to get successful. Let’s listen to the dialogue and learn about their ideas.
Read the Text Builder carefully. Then listen to the dialogue and complete it by underlining the words or expressions you hear.
Liu Yang
Use the Text Builder to talk about a successful person in your mind.
If you want to be successful, you really need to be optimistic.
A successful person always remains energetic and disciplined. Other secrets of success are to put in effort and learn from failure. Many important business people have these skills and characteristics. They always persevere when they have a problem and try their best to
solve it.
Y: Hi, Leo. How have you been You’ve seemed very committed to your studies recently.
L: Hey, Yang Jin. Yes, I’ve been working on a project on how to lead a successful life.
Y: That’s interesting. I suppose everyone wants to be successful. So what have you found
L: Well, I have come up with a few tips for success.
Y: Cool. What are they
L: First, if you want to be successful, you really need to be passionate and determined about what you do. You also need to work hard. For example, one successful person I admire is Liu Yang, who is an astronaut. She was passionate about space and determined in her effort and so was able to become China’s first female astronaut at a very young age.
Y: Yes, Liu Yang is amazing.
( Y = Yang Jin L = Leo)
Tapescript
L: Other secrets of success are to believe in yourself and to be grateful.
Y: I understand believing in yourself, but how does being grateful help
L: Well, being grateful means you’re always appreciative of what you have and what other people have done for you. In this way, you are likely to stay positive about life and be inspiring to others.
Y: Ahh. Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Any more tips
L: The final tip is to learn from failure. Everyone can fail but it’s how you deal with failure that counts.
Y: That reminds me of Liu Xiang, the track athlete. Despite many injuries in his career, he always remained determined and focused. His commitment was amazing.
L: Great example! A successful person always remains committed and focused. Now, let’s try and follow these tips ourselves!

Tapescript
P: Talking about being successful, Natalie, what would you say is the most important aspect of personal development
N: I believe becoming a better person is important. I think the next thing is to always keep learning. A successful person never stops learning. After that, I would say it’s important to work well with others. So teamwork! Without it, nothing really gets done. By working with others you develop a lot of key skills, cooperation, communication, building agreement and others.
P: So, what about the old idea of spending many hours in the office... Is that unimportant now
N: Well, it is still important to work hard but now you can work everywhere and anywhere. In some companies, employees can work from home, or the park or anywhere they like. Working hard and being in the office are not the same thing.
(P = Peter N = Natalie)
