Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life.
Some people are disabled in accidents.
Most people become disabled as they get older.
Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.
All are affected by peoples attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers.
Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,
imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains.
How would you cope if you could not see where you were going
or could not hear the traffic?
But there are other barriers:
prejudice can be even by far the greatest barrier of all.
It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciated
what the severely disabled go through,
so it is important to draw attention to these barriers
and show that it is the individual person and their ability,
not their disability, which counts.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. Why is disability not something that happened only to other people?
