How do the stories about the scientists help illustrate these personalities? In the case of Qian Xuesen, we see his determination illustrated by his struggles and how he overcame challenges. His story also shows he was patriotic and devoted to his career. In the case of Stephen Hawking, we also see his determination in the face of difficulty through the stories told about him. We also see his audacity (胆大). Activity 3 Writing guidance—Learning to write about what makes a great scientist Learn about how to write an essay about what makes a great scientist. Write about the scientific spirit. 1. In groups, discuss some stories about great scientists such as Tu Youyou, Yuan Longping and Qianxuesen. The other alternatives: The story of Newton and the apple, Watson dreaming of the structure of the DNA, Fleming’s accidental discovery of penicillin, etc. 2. Using these stories as a basis, discuss the following questions: 1) Apart from being clever, what are the most important personal qualities a scientist must have to be successful? Suggested answer: A scientist must be lucky, to an extent, but a part of that luck is noticing what others might gloss over (搪塞). For example, Fleming noticed that something was odd about a sample in a petri dish, and he did not throw it away. The intuitive and creative power of a great scientist also needs to be taken into account, as illustrated by Watson’s dream which showed him the structure of the DNA. 2) How do these stories illustrate the scientific spirit? 3. Now work by yourself to write an essay about the scientific spirit. Task 1: Write an essay to introduce a scientist. Task 2 Write an essay about what makes a great scientist. 1) Structure for introducing a scientist: Part 1 Brief introduction—General information, name, title, field, main achievement, and so on. Part 2 Main body—Personal history, events, accomplishments and personality. Education, research, struggle, experience, achievements, rewards, and so on. (In the order of time) Part 3 Conclusion/Ending—Comments on the person’s achievements, personality or contributions. Or significance of the scientific spirit and inspiration you get from it.

Good qualities + Story, example, illustration or explanation. Part 3 Conclusion/Ending—Conclude the good qualities of a scientist or major aspects of scientific spirit.

Sample writing: What Makes A Great Scientist As far as I am concerned，scientific spirits include some noble qualities, such as devotion, persistence, never giving－up and creativity and so on. It is thanks to the scientific spirits that the great scientists have made many outstanding achievements. For instance, if it had not been for Qian Xuesen’s devoted work on missiles and rockets, China wouldn’t have become such a powerful country/so powerful a country in the world in a short time. It is the same with Yuan Longping developing the hybrid rice, which has decreased the number of the hungry people around the world. Their contributions can’t be ignored. So we should show respect for the great scientists and learn the scientific spirits from them. Besides, as students, if we can apply the scientific spirits to our study，we will certainly achieve what we want. In our daily life, we should also learn the scientific spirits from the great scientists to handle the difficulties and problems we meet with. Activity 4 Writing practice 1.
