1 What kind of person makes great discoveries
2 Which is more important for making a great discovery, talent or effort
Suggested Answers
1 Most great discoverers are brilliant and hard-working. Many are perfectionists who are unwilling to accept anything but the best.
2 I think both talent and effort are important for making discoveries.If a person doesn't have any talent,it is possible that even though he or she works hard, it will be difficult to succeed. On the other hand, people—even those with great talent— rarely achieve anything without putting in efforts.
