A Disabled Person I Respect Most

There are many respectable disabled people in the world. As for me, Stephen Hawking is the person I respect most.

The first time I heard of Stephen Hawking, I was moved by his devotion to the research. As a physicist, he was famous for his groundbreaking work on black holes and relativity. He was also the author of the best-seller A Brief History of Time. However, he was in poor health condition, wheel-chair bound and speechless. Only when he turned to the computer was it possible for him to speak, read and write. It was his courage and persistence that inspired people across the world.

In my opinion, no one could match him in the contributions to science. He was a great scientist and a legend and his work and legacy will exert a powerful/profound influence on the world for a long time.

M: I’m going out to apply for jobs today. Do you want to come with me? It might be less stressful.

W: Sure. We should go to the mall. There are many jobs there you can apply for. We can also go shopping afterwards.

Text：2

W: What are you buying? Don’t you already have a ladder at home?

M: I do, but this is special. See? It can bend. You can fold it and make it into a chair. And if it’s open, it becomes a bookcase.

W: I can’t believe it. Susan wore white today!

M: What’s wrong with wearing white clothes?

W: It’s winter now. Everyone knows that you shouldn’t wear white in the winter.

Text：4

M: We aren’t done yet. We need about 15 more minutes.

W: Sure. Just let me know when you’re ready. I’ll have the taxi driver wait for you, while you finish up the meeting. Remember that your flight is at 8:00, OK?

Text：5

W: Were you born in America, Jack?

M: No, I was born in Canada. But I’m living in England now.

W: What’s going on? I see flashing lights up ahead. It must be an accident of some kind, because I see some policemen on the road.

M: You know this part of the road has always been dangerous. There’s an accident at least once a year. I wonder when they’re finally going to put in a traffic light.

W: It certainly doesn’t help because this road is so dark. You can hardly see.

M: Do you think we should turn around and go the long way round? It might be faster.

W: Let’s turn on the traffic report first and listen to what they say before we do anything. Maybe it’s just a construction crew.

M: Well. I’m not calling your mother to tell her we’ll be late.

M: I don’t think I’d recommend that hotel to anyone.

W: You can’t expect luxury for that price. Anyway, it was easy to get into the city center to see all the sights.

M: It was a good starting point for exploring. But the people working there weren’t terribly helpful when we asked them for directions.

W: The lady on the reception desk was nice. And you must admit, she gave us a room overlooking the garden at the back.

M: It’s a shame about the tiny bathroom, though. The beds could’ve been softer, too.

W: Well, we should read some reviews online before booking.

W: Your daughters are so cute! I can’t believe they’re only seven years old. How did they learn so much already?

M: Well, my wife and I have been reading to them since they were very young. So they became interested in reading at young age. They’ve both been reading well since the age of five.

W: That’s wonderful! I wish my son would do that, too.

M: Don’t worry too much about him. He’ll read more when he’s ready. It’s better to let him do what he’s most interested in. He’s only six, right?

M: Hey, what are you doing here?

W: Oh, there’s a book I want to buy, so I came to this shop. My office is right around the corner from here, so I came here during my lunch hour. What about you?

M: I have the day off, so I came here to buy a new book edition of some Spider-Man stories that were published in the 1980s.

W: Really? I didn’t know you liked those kinds of books. I thought they were for kids.

M: Most of them are. But in 1986, a really famous artist made a Spider-Man book that is for adults. It is very well written and it really impresses me.

W: What is so good about the Spider-Man story?

M: Well, it’s about Spider-Man, but it’s also about society at the time. Things are never as simple as they seem.

W: Sounds interesting. What other stories like that do you like?

M: I also like Watchmen by Alan Moore from 1987, and The X-Men by Chris Claremont from 1981. They also deal with adult themes.

M: Welcome back, Andrea. How is your mother doing today?

W: She seems to be in good spirits, I took her for a walk outside in the garden, and we played some cards. She is eating now.

M: Yes. and she is reacting well to the medicine we are giving her. It should bring her blood pressure back to a normal level. Now we are controlling her blood sugar level, as it tends to be high after a heart attack.

W: She is complaining of pain in her back and neck. Is that normal?

M: Completely. She will have some discomfort for the next little while. In fact, it is time for her medicine.

W: Should she eat again? She says that she is suffering from dry mouth and hunger.

M: She shouldn’t eat too much. We don’t want to put too much stress on her heart.

W: When do you think she can go home?

M: Recovery from these types of things takes a while. She should be healthy by next month.

W: Well, she won’t be skydiving any time soon.

M: Ha-ha, you’re funny. Yes, I would strongly advise against that.
