8. Listening text AN AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT Barry Minto has just made a successful climb of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Listen to him being interviewed on the radio.

9. JOAN: Today we have Barry Minto in our studio. Barry has just completed a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa. Barry, welcome to our programme. And congratulations on your amazing climb.

10. BARRY: Thank you. It’s good to be here. JOAN: Now, Barry, this was a very special climb, wasn’t it? BARRY: Yes, that’s right. Part of the group had very poor eyesight, or were blind like me, and the other half were sighted people who came along to help us.

11. JOAN: And how old were the climbers? BARRY: Our weak-sighted and blind group were between 16 and 19 years old. JOAN: And the sighted climbers? BARRY: They were between 25 and 45. JOAN: And why did you make such a difficult climb?

12. BARRY: For two main reasons. For ourselves and to raise money. We wanted to prove to ourselves and everyone else that even though we have a disability, we can achieve whatever we decide to do. And we also wanted to raise money to help other people with weak sight.

13. JOAN: Well, that was a big challenge. How tall is Mount Kilimanjaro? BARRY: About 5,900 metres. JOAN: That’s very high! So how many of you got to the top of the mountain?

14. BARRY: That was really interesting. Of the 12 sight-impaired and blind climbers, 9 made it to the top of the mountain. Of the 15 sighted climbers, only 7 made it. JOAN: Oh, well done!

15. BARRY: Yes, it just shows you how determined the blind climbers were. JOAN: How long did it take you? BARRY: Five days to climb up and just two days to come down.

16. JOAN: Well, Barry. I’m full of admiration for you and your companions. You have achieved something quite remarkable. BARRY: Thanks. We’re very proud of ourselves. JOAN: Mm, you should be. So Barry, what’s your next big challenge?

17. BARRY: Well, I’m going to university next year, but I’m still going to go climbing whenever I can. My ambition is to climb Mount Qomolangma one day. JOAN: Amazing. I wish you every success in the future, Barry. BARRY: (fade out) Thanks, Joan…

37. A sample of a letter of suggestion Mr.Xue Sun Lei Chief architect 18 Hongyang Supermarket design Yuquan County 211 Kangwei Road Yuquan County 18 March Dear Mr Xue, I learn from the local news that

38. you are the architect who is to design the supermarket. I am writing to ask you to consider the right of the disabled for easy access. In particular, I would like you to consider the following things:

39. 1. Access to the supermarket for people in wheelchairs and those who have difficulty walking. The lifts should be wide enough for the wheelchairs to move around. The entrance should be suitable for wheelchairs on the ground floor. There should be special entry for people for the blind.

40. 2. Toilets. There should be special toilets for the disabled. The bathrooms and toilets should have doorways wide enough for a wheelchair, doors that are easy to open and close, and hand-holds that the disabled can easily use.

41. 3. Telephones should be easy for a person in a wheelchair to reach. Generally speaking, a supermarket is so big that it is difficult for one, especially one in a wheelchair to find what one needs. So telephones should be easy to reach for a person in a wheelchair so that he can call the staff for help.

42. 4. Shelves. When people design the shelves, the disabled should be taken into consideration. Safety should come first.

43. Thank you for reading my letter. I hope you will consider my suggestions. Disabled people should have the same opportunity as able-bodied people to enjoy the supermarket and they should be able to do so with dignity. It is very important to use various forms of

44. technology which can assist individuals with various types of disabilities to increase their mobility and independence. I am sure if you design it with good access for the disabled, the supermarket will attract more customers and people will speak highly of your design. Yours sincerely, Sunlei
