八、书面表达(例文)
My Favorite Genius
My favorite genius is Marie Curie, a great scientist who made amazing contributions to the world of physics and chemistry.
Born in Poland in 1867, Marie Curie faced many difficulties when pursuing her studies. At that time, it was not easy for women to get a good education, but she never gave up. She moved to France to study and later worked with her husband in a small lab. Together, they spent years doing research and finally discovered two new elements: polonium and radium. What's more, she was the first person in history to win two Nobel Prizes, one in Physics and one in Chemistry. Even when she faced health problems from working with radioactive materials, she kept working until the end.
From Marie Curie, I learn that genius is not just about talent. It's about perseverance and dedication. She taught me to keep trying even when things are hard, and to follow my interests with all my heart. That's why she will always be my role model.
