the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 38
The term "dyslexia” is used to describe a number of problems associated with reading, writing
or spelling. Short-term memory, mathematics, concentration, personal organization and sequencing
may also be affected. We do not know exactly what causes dyslexia, but we do know that it tends
to run in the family. We also know that more boys suffer from dyslexia than girls and that dyslexia
is more common in urban areas than in rural.
One of the most common signs of dyslexia is “reversals”. People with this kind of problem
often confuse letters like “b” and "a" when reading and writing or they sometimes read and write
words like "tip" and "won" as “pit” and “now”. Other common characteristics are lack of
punctuation, misspelling, mixed-up sentence structure and poor grammatical construction.
People are born with dyslexia, but it is only when they begin to learn to write that it becomes
a noticeable problem. For children with dyslexia, going to school can be a traumatic experience.
Poor achievement can make them feel frustrated and insecure. They are reluctant to go to school
and sometimes even skip school together, Cheating, stealing and experimenting with drugs can also
occur when children regard themselves as failures.
