P: Wonder is something that causes a feeling of surprise and admiration.
T: Do you agree that Man is the greatest wonder of the world? Why do you think so?
P: Man is the greatest wonder of the world because every human being begins life as a single cell no bigger than a dot and grows to be an individual composed of 6 million cells.
P: Man is the greatest wonder of the world because man is the only human being on our planet who possesses a great creative potential and is able to do wonders himself.
P: Man is the greatest wonder of the world because people collect and store information and are able to hand it down from generation to generation.
P: Man is the greatest wonder of the world because Man, though quite a material essence has rich spiritual life and what many people call a soul, a phenomenon that is so hard to define.
P: Man is the greatest wonder of the world because such features as compassion / сострадание/, devotion, imagination are typical of Man.
T: By the way, I think the last statement is controversial because dog or cat's owners can disagree with it. Who has a pet at home? Or maybe you know some story proving that our pets can also be devoted or compassionable?
