3b Listen to the conversation. Pay attention to the questions the speakers used. Then role-play the conversation.
3c let’s discuss these questions.
Deep-thinking
1.Adam says his biggest inspiration is his father, not a famous person. Do you think an ordinary person can be as inspiring as a world-famous hero? Why or why not?
Yes. Famous people show us big dreams, but ordinary people like parents give us daily support and love. This personal encouragement often helps us more in real life.
3c let’s discuss these questions.
Deep-thinking
2.Yaming mentions that I.M. Pei created a "balance between the East and the West." Based on the dialogue, why do you think this balance is important for a designer or an artist?
It helps connect different cultures. By mixing Eastern tradition with Western modern style, artists can create something new and special that everyone can appreciate.

这些句子有什么共同点呢?
都有It做形式主语。
1. 避免“头重脚轻”
主语如果是一个很长的 that 从句 或不定式短语,直接放在句首会显得前面太重、后面太轻,读起来不平衡。
2. 符合英语“末端重心”原则
英语倾向于把 较长的成分放在句子后部(end-weight),把较短的 it 放在句首,让句子更好读、好说。
为什么要用it 来做形式主语呢?

It is always inspiring to read about great people and learn their stories. Recently, I read about Zhang Qian, the pioneer of the famous Silk Road. In order to help defeat his enemies, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to find the Yuezhi people. Unfortunately, Zhang Qian was caught by the enemy.It seemed impossible for him to finish his task or to return home. However, around 10 years later, he got a chance to run away, and he finally succeeded in finding the Yuezhi people. It was really brave and admirable that he never forgot his task, and his travel also brought back valuable information about the Western Regions. Later, he was sent to these places again to build relationships. Stories like this give us power and inspiration. It is important for us to understand the past and find ways to do more for a better future.
Deep thinking
Read again and discuss the questions.
In what ways do you find Zhang Qian inspiring? Give your reasons.
First, he was very brave.
In his time, no one knew what was west of China. Still, he volunteered to travel there to make friends with new countries.
Second, he was strong and never gave up.
He was caught by enemies and he never forgot his mission. He finally escaped and finished his job.
Third, he changed the world.
