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.
