Nice meeting you and learning English with you.Everyone hopes that he may live well. But some are not living well because they are disabled. And in this first period we shall learn to help those disabled people to live well. But first what is disabled? What is disability?A disabled person is one who has a condition called a disability that interferes with his or her ability to perform one or more activities of everyday living. For example, indoors and going outside, getting dressed, communicating with others.Then what are the types of disability? Disability can be broken down into a number of broad sub-categories, which can include the following: physical impairments affecting movement, sensory impairments, neurological impairments, cognitive impairments and psychiatric conditions.To know more about disability, lets go to page 2.2.

Reading aloud to the tapeReading aloud to the recording of the text improves our literacy skills - reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Now turn to page 2. First we shall listen and read aloud to the recording of the text. Try to read aloud the text as loudly and correctly as possible.4. Reading for the formsIt is unlikely that you will understand 100 percent of the vocabulary in the text, especially at a first reading. Use first the context and then your own knowledge of the subject to help you guess the meaning of unknown words.A really useful way to help us with our listening is to become aware of thought groups .When we speak, we need to divide speech up into small chunks to help the listener understand messages. These chunks or thought groups are groups of words which go together to express an idea or thought. In English, we use pauses and low pitch to mark the end of thought groups.Then we shall go over the text to read it to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful collocations.5. Reading to transfer informationWriters structure, or organize, their writing in many different ways. Recognizing the way in which a text has been organized will help you understand its meaning more fully.Now lets go over the text once again. While going over it look for information to complete the chart below.Martys storyWhy are there not many people in the world like me?Because: I have a muscle disease that sometimes makes me very weak and I cant run or climb stairs as quickly as other people.I am clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. What is my motto?Live one day at a time.When did I get weak?Up until I was about 10 years old, I was the same as everyone else in my class.Then I started to get weaker and weaker. What was the worst thing about my life?One of the worst things about my disease is that I dont look any different from other people. Do I have a good life?All in all, I have a good life. What is my ambition?My ambition is to work in the computer industry when I grow up. I am the only student in my class to have a pet snake. What has my disability made me?In many ways my disability has made me grow stronger and more independent. What do I think of having a disability?Just having a disability doesnt mean your life is not satisfying. 6. Drawing a diagram of the text and retell it with the help of the diagramWriters structure, or organize, their writing in many different ways. Recognizing the way in which a text has been organized will help you understand its meaning more fully.Scan the text for the topic sentence of each paragraph to make a diagram of the text. Then we shall try to retell the text in our own words with its help.Martys storyUp until I was about 10 years old, I was the same as everyone else in my class.I dont look any different from other people.My life is a lot easier at high school than it was at primary school.I have a muscle disease.
