1 All in all（总而言之）, I have a good life. My2ambition (志向) is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up.

Just accept them for who they are, and give them 10encouragement(鼓励)to live as rich and full a life as you do.
Group discussion:
From Marty’s inspiring story, what have you learned from?

2: We should help them and encourage them in a clever way.
3:We should have an optimistic attitude towards life.
4:We should value our life.
5: As a healthy man , we should seize the chance to arm ourselves with knowledge.
A free debate:
What can we do to help Marty and others like him to live a good life？
As far as I’m concerned, we can accept people with disabilities for who they are rather than focus on their disability. That is to say, we should give them recognition and we should be ready to help them whenever they are in need of help. In addition, we can call on people all around us to help the disabled. If the world is filled with love, the disabled will finally start to enjoy their lives.
Conclusion:
Disabilities can be visible or invisible. People with invisible disabilities don’t look disabled. In order to live as rich and full a life as we do, They have many difficulties to overcome.
