While-listening
Dr Wang: Oh, for sure. I would say people like Dr Zhong Nanshan,
who managed the SARS outbreak back in 2003, and Dr
Wu Mengchao, who performed liver operations well into
his 90s.
Wang Le: Yes, that’s right. One of mine is Tu Youyou, whose
research led to the discovery of artemisinin. I really
admire people like her.
Anna Smith: My personal heroes are Alexander Fleming, who
discovered penicillin, and Florence Nightingale, the
founder of modern nursing. Countless lives were
saved due to their amazing work.
Listen for reasons
When people give their opinions or decisions on a matter, they often give reasons for them. Sometimes, the reason is introduced by words such as because or due to. At other times, the reason is given right after the opinion or decision, and the link can be inferred.
