Understand Circus People
Here I want to let you know a fact. With our effort all the local council of Lakeside Town has improved the campsite of circus people. The circus people are enjoying a clean and convenient life as we do today. Therefore we should not laugh at these people. We made fun of them and looked down upon them before, but now we should change our attitude. They are the same as us and they need our respect, they need our help because their life is always on the go. They are excellent in their field. They can make tricks and magic while we can’t; they suffer a moremiserable life while we don’t; they are discriminated just because of their life style while we are living a comfortable life. We should make a promise that from now on we should show fair attitude toward them; we should make a promise that we will try to help them instead of laughing at them. With these promises we will all enjoy a better life. 课件20张PPT。Read the following facts about Martin Luther King, Jr and answer the questions. Fact box:

Give a Hand to the Campsite
At present, circus people are living a hard life. They suffer a lot and they are looked down upon by other people. Wherever you go you can find rubbish all around. Besides, there is only one tap water and people don’t have enough waterto keep clean. What’s worse, circus children feel very inconvenient to go to school because the bus stop is far from their living area. Thus these children are looked down upon by other students.
We are equal as citizens. But up to now, our town council hasn’t noticed thesuffering of these people. If the situation continues like this, infective disease may arise. If so the whole people in the town may get infected. Since circus people should enjoy equal rights as we do, their living conditions should be improved.
Effective measures should be takenby our council. We need to find a good position to rebuild the campsite. It should be a place which is near bus stops. What’s more, the facilities should be improved. If so, the circus people will enjoy a clean and better life. They will not be discriminated and share equability with us.
