Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking are examples of celebrities who had disabilities but made significant contributions to society. Millions of people live with and overcome disabilities every day without recognition. The author personally knows many people with disabilities who are admired for pursuing their goals despite being told they cannot succeed due to their condition, sometimes even by their own mothers seeking to protect them from hurt. People with disabilities have strength, a special way of facing difficulties, and a unique perspective on the world, and they deserve respect and love.

1. TASK 3.1
I can think about many celebrities with disabilities, who have made significant contributions to
society. Albert Einstein had a learning disability. Stephen Hawking, a brilliant scientist who’s got
Gehrig’s disease. Of course, there are millions of people who live with, battle and overcome their
disabilities every single day of their lives.
I personally know many people with disabilities. That is people I admire because, whatever their
problem is, it really doesn´t hold them from doing what they want. Sometimes is other people
who think that they aren´t capable of success. They tell them things like: “Oh, maybe you should
try something else, that (doing the thing they want) seems too hard for you”. Incredibly,
sometimes mothers are the ones who do that, given the fact that they don´t want their children to
be hurt.
But these people have a lot to teach us. Their strength. Their special way to face difficulties. The
way they look at world. They are people to be respected and loved.
