Writing Evaluation
Good morning, everyone. It's my great honor to give a speech here. Today I’m going to introduce a great man who devoted his life to practising medicine for the people of China — Dr Norman Bethune. He was born in 1890, in Canada. He was a complicated person who was both very creative and very stubborn. He was also very hard-working, and wanted to make a difference in the world. In fact, he invented or improved numerous surgical procedures and surgical instruments.
adj 复杂的
Writing Sample
However, it was in China that he would break national boundaries by becoming one of the few Western doctors to help the Chinese in their wartime struggle. His contribution to the welfare of the Chinese people was not only unusual, but immense.
Having married a wealthy woman, Bethune had once enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle in Canada. However, his social conscience developed during the 1930s, with a visit to the Soviet Union and time as a surgeon during the Spanish Civil War.
adj 巨大的
社会责任感
Writing Sample
In January 1938, he left Canada again, this time to help the soldiers in China’s Eighth Route Army. It was no easy journey. Travelling thousands of kilometres, he did not reach Yan’an until the end of March. By June, he was working at the front. He soon saw that the medical situation for the troops and local people was bad. There were not enough medicines or surgical instruments, and the medical staff were not well trained.
n 军队
Writing Sample
Bethune worked hard to help the wounded and train his staff, even inventing medical equipment that was suitable for guerilla warfare in China. The pace at which Bethune worked can be seen in a battle during April 1939, when he performed 115 operations in only 69 hours. The Chinese, though they sometimes found Bethune difficult because of his stubbornness, admired him greatly because of his ceaseless hard work and his dedication to helping the Chinese people.
游击战
adj 不断的
Writing Sample
But tragedy struck when Bethune cut himself while conducting an operation. He soon contracted blood poisoning and died on 12 November 1939.
Dr Norman Bethune had worked tirelessly as a surgeon, teacher and hospital administrator for the Chinese people. Their struggle became his own. Although he was not Chinese, he sacrificed his life for them.
v 感染 （疾病）
v 牺牲；献出
Writing Sample
In December 1939, Chairman Mao Zedong wrote an article “In Memory of Norman Bethune”, as a tribute to Bethune, and called on the Chinese people to learn from his example. Dr Norman Bethune remains the greatest inspiration for anyone who believes that we must fight alongside others for justice — even if they are from a different nation to our own.
n 致敬
