ANSWER

I have had many opportunities to interact with various intelligent individuals throughout my life. However, after going through this topic, my cousin, Mr.Vang name comes to my mind. He is one of the most intelligent people I know.

I’ve known Mr. Vang since I was born because he is just 2 years older than me. My family and his family have spent a lot of time together, meeting up for celebrations and frequent visits throughout the years.

Mr. Vang is successful not only financially but is also a famous doctor in her field. He founded his pharmaceutical company 10 years ago with nearly 100 employees. His company imports and exports medicine throughout the world. He also makes a lot of money in real estate as well.

He has a wife and two children. He is 170 centimeters tall, quite fat, and has black hair. He’s really kind to people around him, and he’s well-respected in his community as well.

He is not only intelligent but also hard-working. The reason I think he is smart is because he is really successful in his business and his field.

I remember vividly that when he was in high school, he studied nearly 10 hours a day. After graduating from university, he worked around the clock and did many research jobs; that’s why he is a famous doctor in his field. Furthermore, he really pays attention to real estate, so he buys and sells many residential and commercial buildings, which makes him richer.

With his dedication, intelligence, and hard work, his business will be more famous and lucrative in the long run. I feel so lucky to have him in my big family, so his success is a good example for me and other cousins as well.

1. What makes a person intelligent?

I believe that intelligence is a multifaceted concept with various criteria and types. A person’s intelligence can be measured by their ability to learn, retain, and apply new information to solve problems and adapt to different situations.

2. Is it always true?

While this statement holds true in many cases, it may not be universally applicable. For instance, in the case of my cousin, Vang, he exhibits exceptional learning capabilities, strong memory retention, and adept problem-solving skills, which have contributed to the success of his business.

3. Some people feel that being very intelligent can also be a burden, so do you agree with this notion?

I wholeheartedly agree with this notion. Highly intelligent individuals often bear the weight of expectations placed upon them. They are frequently sought out for guidance and support, as their insights and problem-solving abilities are valued by others, leading to added responsibilities and pressures.

4. Is it often agreed that intelligence is very difficult to measure? Why is this?

As I mentioned before. There are various types of intelligence. To be more specific, a special chef in a famous restaurant can be considered the intelligent chef in his field, but it doesn’t mean he is good at math or solving problems.

5. What are some of the greatest architectural achievements of the past 50 years?

Well, in the past 50 years, notable architectural achievements include iconic mega structures such as the Burj Khalifa and the Beijing National Stadium (also known as the “Bird’s Nest”) in China. These architectural marvels showcase the groundbreaking design of the last half-century.

6. How about non-physical achievements?

In terms of non-physical achievements, two significant accomplishments of the last half-century are undoubtedly the advent of the internet and the development of virtual reality. These technological advancements have revolutionized communication, information access, and immersive experiences.

7. What is needed for major accomplishments these days that are internationally recognized?

In my opinion, to achieve internationally recognized major accomplishments, one must demonstrate exceptional excellence and stand out among the global population. With a world population of 8 billion, significant achievements need to be extraordinary and make a profound impact in their respective fields.

For example, discovering a cure for AIDS would be a remarkable accomplishment with far-reaching implications.

8. How will the major achievements of today impact future societies?

I think that the major achievements of today will undoubtedly exert a profound influence on future societies. Technological advancements, such as the internet and social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, have already had a significant impact on people’s lives. As these innovations continue to evolve, they will shape and redefine various aspects of society in the long run. It is increasingly difficult to envision a world devoid of these transformative technologies.
