【参考范文】
The first time I heard of Stephen Hawking, I was moved by his devotion to the
research. As for his daily life, he is in great trouble. For example, only when he turns to
the computer is it possible for him to speak, read and write. However, his contributions to
the world have no equal. And, in my opinion, nothing could be in reward for his
contributions to science.
