Who would like to share the opinions with us?In my opinion, a great woman should be intelligent and hard-working, otherwise she will not achieve her goals.I think a great woman should be determined and consistent. Because sometimes she might come across a lot of difficulties before her idea and invention are accepted by the public or other specialists. If she cant stick to her opinion, she may fail in achieving her goals. According to me,I think a great woman should be modest and responsible. I dont think an arrogant and irresponsible woman will become a great woman.T: I agree with all of you.But in my opinion, most importantly a great woman should be unselfish and willing to sacrifice. Otherwise they will not overcome different difficulties and make great contributions to humans and our society. Do you think so?3) Talk about great women.T: Now can you name some famous women?
