A When I was very young I was very ill. After that my legs were not strong and now I can’t
walk. I still go to school – in a wheelchair, but it’s difficult to get around.

B When I was born my parents knew there was something wrong. The doctors told them that
I couldn’t see – I was blind. I couldn’t read. I went to a special school and learnt to read
using Braille.

C I was thirteen when a car hit me on the way home from school. I was in hospital for six

months with head injuries. I try to talk to people, but I can’t speak very well. People think I’m
stupid, but I’m not.

3. Ask and answer questions about the people in the pictures.
