If you ask any member of the Vang Trang Khuyet Club which time of the day they enjoy most, and they will all agree their photography lesson.
The Vang Trang Khuyet Club’s members come from the Nhan Chinh School for Deaf Children, Xa Dan Secondary School for Deaf and Mute Children, and the Hanoi Literature and Art Club for Mentally Retarded Children.
Whenever we hold a camera, wandering around and taking in our surroundings through a lens, we can forget the sorrow of our disabilities, says club member Nguyen Minh Tam.
The six-month-old photographic club, which comprises 19 deaf, mute or mentally retarded children, is now having its first exhibition in Hanoi.
More than 50 color photos are on display at the exhibition room featuring the beauty of daily life seen through the eyes of these disabled children. The subjects are simple and peaceful: old men reading books on the banks of Hoan Kiem Lake, labourers hard at work, or chickens looking for food.
The children’s passion for taking pictures has stimulated them and helped them escape their sorrow.
Task 1: Listen to some information about a photography club and decide whether the statements are true(T) or false(F).
