A teacher in a special class
Like other teachers, Nguyen Thanh Loan enjoys her teaching job. However, her class is different from other
classes . The twenty-five children, who are learning how to read and write in her class, are disabled. Some are
deaf, some dumb and others mentally retarded. Most of the children come from large and poor families, which
prevents them from having proper schooling.
At first, there was a lot of opposition from the parents of the disabled children. They used to believe that their
children could not learn anything at all. In the first week, only five children attended the class. Gradually more
children arrived. Their parents realised that the young teacher was making great efforts to help their poor kids.
Watching Loan taking a class, one can see how time-consuming the work is. During a maths lesson, she
raised both arms and opened up her fingers one by one until all ten stood up. She then closed the fingers one by
one. She continued the demonstration until the children realised they had just learned how to add and subtract.
The children have every reason to be proud of their efforts. They know a new world is opening up for them.

Dear Nam,
I m writing to tell you a piece of news . The first term is coming to an end soon and my school is going to have ’
some days off. On this occasion, my class is visiting some caves near Hanoi as we have recently studied rock
formations. Besides, many of us have never been inside a cave, so I suppose the trip will be very interesting.
At first, we wanted to travel to Thay pagoda because it is only over 20 kilometres away, and we could go on a
day excursion.
However, only today have we learnt that the caves near Thay pagoda are closed until after Tet. So we are
visiting the ones near Huong pagoda instead. A night campfire on a two-day trip will be a great event in our
schooldays!
To make the trip cheap, we are bringing our own food and sharing buses with some other class.
It is much warmer now. I believe we re going to enjoy good weather with lots of sunshine. ’
The only problem I seem to have is getting my parents permission. They may not want to let me stay the night ’
away from home. I ll try to persuade them.’
That s all for now. Give my love to your parents and sister.’
Yours, Nga
