2. Work in groups to create a poster that highlights the person’s inspiring qualities.

Warming Up
Who are these people?
What do you know about them?
Why do we call them “inspiring people”?
He Zehui, a great physicist
Mao Yisheng, a famous engineer
Galileo, an excellent astronomer
Huang Wenxiu, a village leader
We call them “inspiring people” because their actions, achievements, or qualities encourage us to do better, overcome challenges, and pursue our own goals.
