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 neighbour 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 schools 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 see what we can do.

3. How do you think non-disabled people perceive and treat people with disabilities.
I think non-disabled people used to think that people with disabilities always need to be looked after. However, attitudes have changed. People with disabilities are now perceived as valued members of society.
