disabilities Students will be asked to discuss what the disabilities are and what difficulties they have to overcome in daily life T Good morning afternoon class Ss Good morning afternoon Mr Ms T I think most of you should have learned about Helen Keller a great woman in American history Although she was deaf and blind she became a role model for millions of people Here I d like to share one of the quotes from her with you Although the world is full of suffering it is full also of the overcoming of it T The world is full of suffering especially for those disabled people Do you happen to know anyone with a mental or physical disability What are their lives like S1 My neighbor a 6 year old girl can not speak She is dumb She cannot play with other children T Then how can she make herself understood S1 She has to use body language and sign language I find it very hard to understand her But her family can understand her very well T OK anyone else S2 One of my friends doesn t like school We are of the same age He should be in high school Unluckily he can only stay at home Because whenever he comes to school he feels sick and cannot help trembling He is afraid of school whenever he hears the word school he sweats and feels very nervous 3 I think he has a mental disability T I feel sorry for your friend Perhaps he has experienced something unpleasant in school I think he should see a doctor S2 He has been visiting a doctor I hope he will get well soon T I hope so Now let s watch some short videos or look at some photos of some disabled people Please discuss in groups what

disability one has life is not easy They have many difficulties to overcome but please keep in mind they can also live well even achieve great success Now look at the pictures how do they look Ss They look happy and satisfied They are smiling T Yes they are But all of them are disabled Can you guess what their disability might be S3 I think Rosalyn has learning difficulty Generally speaking those who have learning difficulty are good at sports and clever at hands T OK what about Richard S4 Everyone can see he has difficulty with eyesight because he is wearing glasses He also looks very weak maybe he has severe illness S5 I guess he may have lost an arm or leg for we cannot see his arms or legs in the picture S6 He cannot have lost an arm or leg for next year he will train to be a teacher How can a person without an arm or leg be a teacher T That sounds reasonable OK what about Sally S7 Sally may have a severe illness for she has a very busy life In my opinion those who know they are dying always keep themselves very busy 4 T Sound like that Let s come to Gao Qiang S8 From the picture it is hard to guess what disability Gao Qiang has Maybe he has walking difficulty S9 It is hard to say If he has walking difficulty I will admire him very much for he takes dancing lessons T OK please remember there are many disabled people in the world They are part of the world They also have
