Activity1. Brainstorm:
What kind of person makes great discoveries?
2. Which is more important for making a great discovery, talent or effort?
Most great discoverers are brilliant and hard-working. Many are prfectionists who are unwilling to accept anything but the best.
I think both talent and effort are important for making discoveries. If a person doesn’t have some 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 wihout putting in efforts.
