A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER

I am an ordinary teacher like many others, but my students are those with severe learning difficulties – some have speech or hearing impairment, while some others have mental problems There are 15 children in my class, aged between 10 and 12 The teaching team consists of me and two assistants

Just like any child, my students are good at one thing and poor at another If you ask for a yellow block, then you can be moved to tears It seems a very simple task to a 5-year-old kid, but it is really a huge achievement to my children Looking after each other, being able to use the phone, and being able to buy a loaf of bread – these can only be done after you have been working with them for years

Every day, I work with my lovely students We have some specialized equipments such as audiotapes and videotapes to assist their learning There are always better facilities to wish for, such as

a computer with special educational software prorams Our school is not rich, but many others have got less than what we have, so I can’t complain I believe good teachers can do a great deal with very little

Like many other special education teachers, I am constantly under stress due to heavy work loads Some of my colleagues gave up and found other jobs, but I won’t I enjoy working with students with disabilities- nothing can compete with the joy I have when my children can perform a difficult task

1 The writer’s students can do simple tasks easily

2 At this special school, students learn basic skills for survival

These are several major parts to this problem

Distribution Scientists say there is enough water in the world for everyone, but some countries

have a lot of water and some have only a little Some areas get all their rain during one season The rest of the year is dry There are huge forests in the Amazon area of Brazil In other parts of the world there is only desert

Petroleum We are using up the world’s petroleum We use it in our cars and to heat our buildings

in winter Farmers use petrochemicals to make the soil rich They use them to kill insects that eat plants These chemicals go into rivers and lakes and kill the fish there Thousands of people also die from these chemicals every year Chemicals also go into the air and pollute it Winds carry this pollted air to other countries and other continents

Poverty Poor farmers use the same land over and over The land needs a rest so it will be better next

year However, the farmers must have food this year Poor people cut down trees for firewood In

some areas when trees are gone, the land becomes desert However people need wood to cook their food Poor people cannot save the environment for the future

We now have the information and the ability to solve these huge problems However, this is not a problem for one country or one area of the world It is a problem for all humans The people and the nations of the world must work together to conserve the world’s resources No one controls the future, but we all help make it
