Activity 1. Listen and read


Activity 1: Listen and read
Mai: Hi, what’s up? Why are there so
many boxes in the library?
Maria: I’m preparing some Christmas gifts
for secondary students with disabilities
in the school we visited two months
ago. These are students with various
visual, hearing, physical and cognitive
impairments.
Mai: Cognitive impairments?
Maria: That’s learning difficulties.
Kevin: I have a neighbor who is blind, deaf
and dumb, and needs a lot of help to get
around.
Maria: Well, you shouldn’t use words like
“dumb” or “deaf”. It’s disrespectful.
Mai: I agree. There are so many students
with a disability who have talents and

skills.

Maria: That’s right. And we need to help them to
become independent, integrate in the
community and achieve success at school.
Mai: So what are these Christmas gifts?
Maria: Last month, the Youth Union in our
school had a meeting and decided to start a
“Special Christmas Gifts” campaign to collect
gifts for local charities. So far, the students in
our school have donated more than 100 gifts.
Mai: That’s great! Can students from other
school join your campaign?
Maria: Sure! A few other schools have already
joined us. They have sent us textbooks,
dictionaries, CD players, batteries….
Kevin: I have an idea for a gift! A talking pen for
learning foreign languages.
Maria: Great idea! What a meaningful gift!
Mai: Thanks, Maria. I’ll talk to my classmates
and what we can do.
