Question

Pair work:

One student plays the role of an anchor of a TV channel and the other has recently visited a school for the visually challenged. Let the anchor begin the programme with a few questions to the student. The objective of this programme is to highlight the fact that the visually challenged are capable of great achievements and how students should empathise with them.

Answer 1

Anchor:	Welcome to our programme. You recently visited a school for students who are visually challenged. What impressed you most?
Guest:	I was impressed by the students’ confidence, hard work and wide range of interests. They learn, perform and participate in activities with skill, using accessible materials and technology.
Anchor:	What achievements did you see?
Guest:	I saw students reading with Braille, using audio tools, taking part in music and sports, and preparing for their future careers. Their success comes from ability, effort and the right support.
Anchor:	How should other students treat classmates who are visually challenged?
Guest:	We should treat them with respect, include them in games and group work, and offer help by asking first rather than assuming what they need. We should speak directly to them and avoid pity.
Anchor:	What is the main message you would like viewers to remember?
Guest:	A visual impairment does not define a person’s potential. Empathy, accessibility and equal opportunities help everyone participate and achieve.
