Dictation(聽寫)
When Marie was young her family struggled financially. In order to help cover the costs of her university training, she spent three years in a village teaching the children of a sugar factory owner. For another two years Marie went on working as a private teacher. Shortly before she turned 24, Marie calculated she had saved up just enough money for university studies in Paris. In autumn 1891 a young woman traveled economy-class all the way to Paris. Marie was not as well prepared as her fellow students. Nevertheless, through hard work she completed master's degree in physics and math in only three years. A few years later, Marie began looking for a research topic that would earn her a doctorate in science. No woman in the world had yet completed that degree. In 1903 Marie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and in 1911 the first person to win a second Nobel prize.

When my parents took me to America several years ago, everything there felt very alien to me.

When my parents found out why I was in such low spirits, they encouraged me to improve myself in English and enrich my vocabulary by reading extensively.

Brilliant deeds of the great scientists led / prompted me to make up my mind to dedicate my life to the pursuit of science.
