I like reading, so I love many different kinds of books very much, because they not only broaden my horizons (视野) but also give me inspiration (灵感).
I have read a lot of books, but one of the books that I like best is My Life Story. It was written by an American writer, Helen Keller in 1902. She was blind, deaf and dumb. In the book, she wrote that she had not been able to see, hear or speak since the age of one year and seven months. This unusual thing made her very sad. When she was seven years old, she knew Miss
Sullivan, her good teacher. Helen was getting happier every day. Then Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words. At first, Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen’s hands with her own fingers again and again. Helen was a very clever girl. She tried as much as possible to remember words. After that, she wrote and published many famous works. My Life Story is one of them.
My Life Story described her hard struggle to become an well-known writer and educationist of the world. It shows us a truth that nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. This is why I like it best.
