Question
Among your classmates, one is unable to walk properly, the second one can’t hear properly and the third one can’t see this beautiful world. All of them are facing lots of difficulties in life. Compose a dialogue among them, about the problems and difficulties faced by them. You can take the help of the following dialogue to expand your ideas.
| Student 1 | Do you know, how many problems I have to face when I decide to go anywhere? |
| Student 2 | I can’t hear anything. |
| Student 3 | So, sad! You both can’t walk or hear but my problem is more serious than yours. You know, I can’t see this beautiful world. |
(Now continue in your notebook.)
Solution
| Student 1 | That’s true! I know you can’t see this beautiful world, but you can go anywhere you want and experience it. You may feel restricted because of your sight, but at least you can go and visit a new place any time you want. |
| Student 2 | I can also do that. However, I cannot hear the beautiful sounds of the birds chirping or the waves crashing against the rocks without my hearing aid. If I go someplace without it, I won’t be able to enjoy anything. |
| Student 3 | I agree, but at least you have an option. There is nothing I can do to better my situation. I manage to walk around with a stick, but if I have to go to a new place, I can’t do it alone. Someone has to go with me. |
| Student 1 | Well, that is a problem. It is almost as bad as the problem I face. Someone has to drop me to school and then come to pick me up. I can’t walk home with the rest of my friends. |
| Student 2 | I used to be able to do that. But once I forgot my hearing aid at home and spent the entire day in school without being able to hear what the teachers were saying. On my way back home that day, I almost met with an accident as I was unable to hear the horn of the car behind me. From that day, my mother doesn’t let me walk home with my friends. |
| Student 3 | I wonder if some day all of us would be able to overcome our problems and lead a normal life like everyone else. I am thankful to God for everything that he has blessed me with, but I would do anything to be able to see the world with my eyes. |
| Student 1 | I am certain that we will overcome our problems and lead a normal life. We just need to be patient and hope to make each day wonderful. |
