Dr Wang: Yes, so you’re here to see Wang Le?

Anna Smith： Yes, we’re doing a career-planning project together.

Wang Le（女2）: Hi, Anna!

Dr Wang: So，I’ll leave you two alone...

Anna Smith:Please don’t go, Dr Wang. Actually, we were planning to interview you. Do you have time now?

Dr Wang: Me?

Wang Le: Yes, Dad. We want to know what made you choose your career as a doctor.

Dr Wang: That’s a good question. Well, long story short, I’ve always wanted to do great things and help people, which might explain why I entered this line of work.

Anna Smith: So were there any people who influenced you?

Dr Wang: Oh, for sure. I would say people like Dr Zhong Nanshan, who managed the SARS outbreak back in 2003, and Dr Wu Mengchao, who performed liver operations well into his 90s.

Anna Smith: So they were like your role models?

Dr Wang: Yes, exactly. I admired them because I saw the greatness in them. You two must have role models too, right?Wang Le: Yes, that’s right. One of mine is Tu Youyou, whose research led to the discovery of artemisinin.I really admire people like her.

Anna Smith: My personal heroes are Alexander Fleming,who discovered penicillin, and Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.Countless lives were saved due to their amazing work.

Dr Wang: Those are certainly some great people.I admire them too.

Anna Smith: So, Dr Wang, what advice do you have for us, the younger generation?

Dr Wang: I think when you are young, it is very important to find out what really interests you.Also, never lose interest in it when it seems a bit too hard for you.

Anna Smith: Thanks, Dr Wang, that’s really good advice! Successful people always push themselves to do difficult things.

Dr Wang:That’s right, Anna.They challenge themselves to solve difficult problems. It helps them reach their goals and achieve great things.

Anna Smith: Yes, exactly! Thank you very much for your time, Dr Wang. You’ve been so helpful!
