3. What kind of person do you think Wang Lin admires Why
Because some people like Alexander Fleming, Florence Nightingale and Zhong Nanshan don't make millions of money, but their contributions to healthcare have saved countless lives.
The real reason is that those people have worked so hard to achieve their goals and uncountless contributions to the society.
She gives the examples of Elon Musk and Bill Gates
She admires those who do good things inspiring her and her life.
Because she lists the example of Jack Ma and her father.
Anna Smith: Hi, Dr Wang! Hi, Wang Lin! Did you hear Elon Musk's company just launched another rocket.
Dr Wang: Elon Musk Who's he
Anna Smith: He's the guy who founded a private space company, and also some other companies. The companies he founds are all really high-tech and futuristic. He's made millions of dollars.
Wang Lin: Oh, he must be a really smart guy, and so rich right now!
Anna Smith: Yes, I'd say he's as famous as Bill Gates or Jack Ma now. They're really smart,too. Just think of all that money they must make!
Dr Wang: Well, you two, it's great that they've been able to become so successful and make all that money, but money isn't everything. Just look at people like Alexander Fleming,who discovered penicillin, and Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, and my own personal hero,Dr Zhong Nanshan,who managed the SARS outbreak—they never made millions of dollars, but their contributions to health care have saved countless lives.
Wang Lin: Yes, Dad,sorry. We know—they are great examples to everyone… But, you know, successful people like Bill Gates and Jack Ma have donated millions of dollars to charity, which should also count for something,right
Dr Wang: Well, you're right on that point. They're certainly being responsible in that way. Moreover, they're good for working hard and becoming successful.
Anna Smith: Yes,exactly! And Dr Wang, I think you misunderstood me just now. I agree with you. I like those people because they have worked so hard to achieve their goals and have positive contributions to society. It's not just due to how much money they make. Elon Musk, for example, is trying to help the future of humankind, and Bill Gates has given us home computers.I think we need more creative people like them.
Wang Lin: Well, don't forget Jack Ma's contribution. Without him, I wouldn't find it so easy to shop online! And by the way, Dad, if we're talking about people who do good things and inspire us—you inspire me, Dad...

Hello, everyone! The greatest person I know of is Dr. Zhong Nanshan, who managed 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 took risks entering the isolated area to cure the patients, summarizing the infected but recovered cases and sharing his successful experience with other home and abroad doctors. He serves as a good role model and makes great contributions to society. That's all. Thank you!
