Discussion

1.What made Jane Goodall a great success?

2.What should we learn from Jane Goodall?

1. What made her a great success?

We think that there are two points that made her successful. One is her way to study chimps, and the other is her true love to the animals. The first one is facile( 容易作到的 ), because it is only a way. Everyone can do it. But for the second one, it is more easily said than done. As a woman, she gave up everything, went to the forest to study the chimps and devoted all her love to these animals. It is really not easy.

Friends, family members, a social life, fun, going to the cinema, parties, shopping etc.

2.What should we learn from Jane Goodall?(n.)

wisdom and couragedeeply love to the animals.

her considerationher hard work

only if we understand can we care; 唯有了解，我们才会关心 ； only if we care will we help; 唯有关心，我们才会行动； only if we help shall all be saved. 唯有行动，生命才会有希望。 —— Jane Goodall —— 珍妮 · 古道尔
