The front page
Good afternoon, everyone. Today our topic is angel at work.
The outline
We will divide our presentation into four main parts. This is the outline.
Content
1. The passage “angel at work” is about a disabled woman, called Mary Louise Zollars. She was a poor young lady who sat in a wheelchair. However, she lived to help others. Mary loved the author’s lecture so much that she decided to transcribe the tape recording for quite a long time. Although she was disabled, her perfect work enriched the author so he called her angel at work.
2. Just like Mary, the disabled can also have a meaningful life. We have found some role models. Such as… So there is a question for you:Though they are disabled, they all have a meaningful life.
3. The first person is Sang Lan
Sang achieved excellence in gymnastics at a young age, winning the all-around and every single event final at the 1991 Zhejiang Province Championships. By 1995 she was competing nationally. Sang was one of China's strongest vaulting horse athlete (跳马运动员vaguely), placing second on the event at the 1995 Chinese Nationals.
In New York at the Goodwill Games, during warm ups for the vault event final, Sang fell while she was performing a timer (a simple vault). She could not raise herself from the mat and was taken to the hospital. The result of the injury was paralysis from the mid-chest down.
However, Sang didn’t give up her young life. Since returning to China from NY, Sang has become a celebrity and an advocate for the disabled. A television miniseries about her life was produced in the late 1990s; she was portrayed by her former gymnastics teammate Mo Huilan. Sang also hosts her own show, Sang Lan Olympics 2008 on STAR TV, a Mandarin-language television channel. She was an ambassador for Beijing's successful 2
008 Olympics bid and has been selected as an Olympic relay torchbearer.
Sang was also a student at Peking University. She has continued a rigorous physical therapy regimen and has regained some use of her arms and hands. Sang have had an another different but colorful life.
4. The next(second) person we are going to introduce is 千手观音
5. After looking at these beautiful girls, let’s pay our attention to this unusual man—
6. For the last picture we showed you a moment ago, the special pianist Liu Wei, is playing the piano by foot. When he was 10 years old, he lost arms due to electric shock accident. At the age of 19, he gave up college entrance and began learning the piano. On July 2010, he participated in the China’s Got Talent and won the champion. We have some moving words he said. 1 I never put myself in any special groups, your people work with your hands and I just do with my feet, just change the way only, there is no different. 2 "I can live like a normal person and earn my own living. Although I cannot hug people a
nd get that feeling, I can feel the sound, and more happiness. 3 Without hands, feet, could also play the piano. 4 For me there are only two choices, either to die immediately or to lead a wonderful life.
7. Above all, the most important person we chose to inspire you is the world famous physicist –Stephen William Hawking.
(1)Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England. Stephen went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology, there being no-one working in that area in Oxford at the time. Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. He has two popular books published; his best seller A Brief History of Time, and his later book, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays.
(2)His view about his diability
Disability - His Experience with ALS
He was quite often asked: How do you feel about having ALS. The answer he gave is, not a lot. He try to lead as normal a life as possible, and not think about his own condition, or regret the things it prevents him from doing, which are not that many.
It was a great shock for Hawking to discover that he had such a terrible disease. In his third year at Oxford, however, he noticed that he seemed to be getting more clumsy, and he fell over once or twice for no apparent reason. But it was not until he was at Cambridge, in the following year, that his father noticed, and took him to the family doctor. He referred Stephen to a specialist, and shortly after his 21st birthday, he went into hospital for tests. He was in for two weeks, during which I had a wide variety of tests. After all that, they didn't tell me what he had, except that it was not multiple sclerosis, and that he was an a-typical case. He gathered however, that they expected it to continue to get worse, and that there was nothing they could do, except give him vitamins. He could see that they didn't expect them to have much effect. He didn't feel like asking for more details, because they were obviously bad.
