Practical solutions

1.Read a student's article about a problem

facing children with cognitive impairments,
and the solutions she proposes. Put the
phrases (a-c) in the appropriate spaces (1-3) .

a. children with disabilities are still treated unfairly
b. we will recognise each other's limitations and
discover hidden talents
c. people should learn more about children with
cognitive impairments
change attitudes and reduce discrimination in life.

In developing countries, there are many children with
cognitive impairments. In addition to lack of medical
care and economic hardships, these children face a lot of
discrimination in life. They are treated less fairly because
of their disabilities and many non-disabled people have
negative attitudes towards them.
How can we solve this problem and help these children?
First, (1) c . They have different learning difficulties,
but that does not mean that they cannot learn. For
example, Einstein, the father of modern physics, could
not read until he was eight, but that did not stop him from
becoming one of the great scientists of our time.
Understanding cognitive disabilities will change people's
attitudes and make them support these children better.

Second, there should be more contacts between people with
cognitive impairments and other non-disabled people. Study
groups or group work can bring them together and will help
to build their self-esteem. When working together, (2) b
.This will also unite people from different backgrounds
under a common goal and strengthen our community.
(3)
a and are offered fewer opportunities in life. However,
they are part of our society and should be integrated in our
communities. Better understanding of cognitive impairments
and more contacts between non-disabled and disabled people
will change attitudes and reduce discrimination in life.

2. Read the article in 1 again and complete
the following outline. 

SUGGESTIONS

Introduction: Children with cognitive impairments often
face discrimination in life. 
Solution 1: People should learn more about children
with cognitive impairments.
Solution 2: There should be more contacts between
people with cognitive impairments and non-disabled
people.
Conclusion: Better understanding and better
cooperation between the two groups of people will
change attitudes and reduce discrimination.

3. Choose one of the following problems and write an article of 160180 words, using the outline in 2. You can use the suggestions below.

SUGGESTIONS
Nowadays, while a lot of students live and study in good
physical conditions, there are still many students with visual
impairments. They are facing a lot of discrimination life. They may
feel that they are treated less fairly than normal students because
of their disabilities. In regular schools, they cannot fully participate
in school activities and are often left behind.
What can we do to help them overcome their problems?
First, people should pay much attention to them and know
what they need. They have different learning difficulties! however;
that does not mean that they cannot learn. Therefore, schools
should provide them with specialised materials and tools such as
Braille or large print books, talking computers or materials with
large print. By giving them these things, we can help theJ learn
better.

Second, there should be more close contacts between students with
visual impairment . They should be put in agroups! People should create an
atmosphere of friendliness, respect and acceptance during afl activities at
school. When working together with students with visual impairments, people
will fully understand them and may recognise the talents hidden inside them.
in short, It is necessary for all people to give students with visual
impairments more opportunitiei in life, and should intergrate them in our
community because they are part of our socier. Better understanding of
students with visual impairments and more contacts between non-disabled
people and disabled people will help students with visual impairmer overcome
their difficulties and create a more possitive attitude towards them.
