I feel like I’ve got two identities: being deaf and being black. It’s a double struggle to fit in and I’ve had to work 10 times harder than my classmates. [A recent report from the National Deaf Children’s Society, which analysed government data, found deaf pupils in England are struggling “at every stage of their education”.]

I was born hearing but became ill with meningitis when I was a baby. After that I became deaf. I grew up in Barking and Dagenham, in East London, with my mum, who works as a caterer and a cleaner at two different colleges. I was bullied in primary school – people would say “ew, you’ve got hearing aids in” – and felt like I didn’t belong. By the time I got to secondary school I had accepted my identity, but that didn’t mean everyone accepted me. I communicate using sign language, so people would stare and I knew I stood out.

I worked hard in secondary school, but was still told I wouldn’t be able to go to college or university. I was told deaf people didn’t go on to higher education. “Which deaf people do you know who have gone to university?” someone asked. The truth was I didn’t know any, because I had no role models.

This made me frustrated, and my frustration came out as anger. The main way I dealt with my anger, though, was positive. I channelled it into a determination to show people I could achieve, despite my disability.

I got my GCSEs and applied to do BTec business level three at Barking and Dagenham College. I spent two years at the college and the vocational course was fantastic. I met so many different professional people, I had a mentor and people supported me. I’m now able to study a degree in politics and economics and have completed my first year at Lancaster University.

However, the discrimination hasn’t gone away. The first person I met when I got to university immediately made a racist joke. He said: “I’ve got loads of black friends, don’t worry.”

I also get combined prejudice for being both black and deaf. I chose a white hearing aid because I like it and I’m proud of who I am, so I don’t mind if people notice it. But recently a deaf woman pointed at me and said: “Look at him, his hearing aid doesn’t match his skin colour!”

It’s difficult to keep calm all the time. I try to stay positive, but quite often I feel like I want to give up. When that happens, I tell myself I’ve got to look to what I can achieve next. That keeps me going.

I made a few friends at uni last year, but so far I feel I’ve missed out on the full university experience. Next year, I’m transferring to Leeds; it’s a bigger city and I think there will be more deaf students, so I’m hoping I’ll feel less isolated.

I want to talk about my experiences and show young deaf students that it’s possible to go to college or university and achieve things. I got a 2:1 at the end of my first year of university, which I’m proud of, and last year I was named Leidos Career Ready UK Student of the Year.

I want to tell other deaf black students to keep working hard. Have the right attitude and arrive on time, because you can achieve anything if you stay strong. To young people with disabilities, I say keep your identity and be proud of it. Society will always try and push you aside; show them you’re not going to disappear.

Tom is from America. He is 13 years old. He has a new pen pal in Vietnam. Her first name is Trang and her family name is Tran. Trang is from Hue. But her parents work in Hanoi, so now she lives there with them. She is studying English at an International School. She told Tom many things about her new school and new life.

Hanoi is a big and busy city. It seems to be bustling with activity at all times of the day and night. She told that the difference in the atmosphere was quite shocking to her. In the first week, she thought her new school was very boring and that most of the teachers and students seemed to be too serious. She missed the happy-go-lucky atmosphere of her old school so much and sometimes she felt lonely. But now, having been in this school for two months, she gets used to it.

Her new school is huge. It is bigger and prettier than her old school in Hue. The school hours are longer and there isn't as much homework. Instead, the pupils here do many projects. She is in class 7A and her classroom is on the fourth floor. There are twenty-five students in her class and they are very friendly. It’s only about 500 meters from her house to her school. So she walks to school every day. She is very interested in English and Math. Tom hopes that one day he can go to Vietnam to meet Trang and travel around Vietnam with her.

At first, Trang thought her new school was dull.

Read the following article about ice-skating. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-I for each part (1-8) of the article.

A. Prepare yourself

B. The benefits of the sport

C. When things go wrong

D. Different skating techniques

E. A change in approach

F. The right attitude

G. Moving off

H. Holding your body correctly

I. How it all started

1......
Ice skating has a history of thousands of years. Archaelogists have discovered skates made from animal bone. It seems that bone skates were used until the introduction of iron into Scandinavia about the year 200 AD. Among the Scandinavian upper classes, skating was seen as an essential skill.
2.......

In the early 20th century, skating was stylish and reserved, but at the 1924 Winter Olympics, 11-year-old Sonja Henie introduced a more athletic attitude which inspired a new wave of popularity. Nowadays art and athletics are combined and modern skating is both graceful and physically demanding.
3......
For the beginner, balance and control are still important and speed can only increase with proficiency. The position of your body plays a great part in the balance. Legs slightly bowed and the knees bent keep the body weight centred; in effect the body leans slightly forward in this position. For skating, probably more than any other sport or recreation, relaxation is vital.
4......
For the starting position, the heels shoould almost be touching and the feet should be turned outwards. While pushing forward with the back foot, you make a very small movement with the other foot. Fairly easy, isn't it? If you can keep this up for a while, you can then slowly increase the length of your movements as you gain experience.

Ice skating has a history of thousands of years. Archaelogists have discovered skates made from animal bone. It seems that bone skates were used until the introduction of iron into Scandinavia about the year 200 AD. Among the Scandinavian upper classes, skating was seen as an essential skill.
2....E...

In the early 20th century, skating was stylish and reserved, but at the 1924 Winter Olympics, 11-year-old Sonja Henie introduced a more athletic attitude which inspired a new wave of popularity. Nowadays art and athletics are combined and modern skating is both graceful and physically demanding.
3....H..
For the beginner, balance and control are still important and speed can only increase with proficiency. The position of your body plays a great part in the balance. Legs slightly bowed and the knees bent keep the body weight centred; in effect the body leans slightly forward in this position. For skating, probably more than any other sport or recreation, relaxation is vital.
4....G..
For the starting position, the heels shoould almost be touching and the feet should be turned outwards. While pushing forward with the back foot, you make a very small movement with the other foot. Fairly easy, isn't it? If you can keep this up for a while, you can then slowly increase the length of your movements as you gain experience.

Tom is from America. He is 13 years old. He has a new pen pal in Vietnam. Her first name is Trang and her family name is Tran. Trang is from Hue. But her parents work in Hanoi, so now she lives there with them. She is studying English at an International School. She told Tom many things about her new school and new life.

Hanoi is a big and busy city. It seems to be bustling with activity at all times of the day and night. She told that the difference in the atmosphere was quite shocking to her. In the first week, she thought her new school was very boring and that most of the teachers and students seemed to be too serious. She missed the happy-go-lucky atmosphere of her old school so much and sometimes she felt lonely. But now, having been in this school for two months, she gets used to it.

Her new school is huge. It is bigger and prettier than her old school in Hue. The school hours are longer and there isn't as much homework. Instead, the pupils here do many projects. She is in class 7A and her classroom is on the fourth floor. There are twenty-five students in her class and they are very friendly. It’s only about 500 meters from her house to her school. So she walks to school every day. She is very interested in English and Math. Tom hopes that one day he can go to Vietnam to meet Trang and travel around Vietnam with her.

The word “bustling” in the second paragraph has the similar meaning with ….

A. hurry

B. excited
