     Helen Keller was a very clever and beautiful girl. At the age of six months she could already say a few

words. But before she was two years old, she was badly ill. She could not see or hear, and soon, she could

not even talk, then Helen had to fight for what she wanted.

     When she was six, her parents invited a teacher for her. With the help of the teacher, she began to see

and hear the world around her through her hands. She learned to read the books for the blind (盲人). The

teacher took Helen for long walks, and told her about all the beautiful sights. Helen touched flowers, climbed

trees, and smelled a storm before it came. She also learned how to swim and ride a horse.

     After she grew up, she became a famous writer in America. Her first and most famous book is The Story

of My life. Her story has brought new hope to many blind and deaf people . It gave light to those in Darkness

and encouraged them to live and work.
