Helen Keller was a writer, lecturer, and great educator. She was born in 1880. She lost her sight and hearing at the age of nineteen months because of an illness now believed to be scarlet fever (猩红热). Before her illness, Helen was a wise and happy girl. After she lost her ability of seeing and hearing, she became difficult and wild. She often shouted and cried. In 1887, a young teacher named Anne Sullivan began to help Helen.
Through Sullivan's careful instruction, the little girl learnt to understand and communicate with the world around her. She ▲ Sullivan to read and write in braille (盲文). She could understand only by touch. As Helen grew older, she made good progress and learnt to read more. She also learnt to write and even speak. When Helen studied in the university, Anne sat beside her. She listened to the professors' words and spelt them on Helen's hands.
After Helen finished university, she visited a lot of countries. She spoke about her life. She was famous for her courage and hard work. She tried her best to help other people who were blind or deaf. Her first book The Story of My Lifewas printed in many languages. And her other four books were published later on.
We are healthy. We can know and think what's going on around us. While Helen was blind and deaf, she never let her blindness and deafness prevent (阻止) her from achieving success. And this gives me hope for life.
