3. How would you describe Dr Yuan’s personality? Use three or four adjectives. Dr Yuan is a simple, academic man who is more interested in helping others than being famous. 4. What do you think is the main reason for Dr Yuan’s success? I think Dr Yuan was successful because he kept working and did not give up. He also grew up in a poor family, so he was very motivated to succeed and help other farmers around China. 5. Dr Yuan thinks that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles. Do you agree or disagree? Why? I mostly agree. I think being rich can cause a lot of problems, but it really depends on the life and attitude of the person who is rich. People who are rich certainly have different problems from people who are not.
