Listening activity—Helen Keller’s story
听力原文
Helen Keller was born in the U.S. in 1880. When she was 18 months old, she fell ill and became deaf and blind. Her parents loved her very much, but they did not know how to help her. She couldn’t see anything. She couldn’t hear anything. She couldn’t speak at all. Helen often got angry. Sometimes, she threw her food from the table. In 1887, her parents met a teacher, Anne Sullivan. Anne became Helen’s friend. She wanted to teach Helen words. But it was very hard. One day, Anne took Helen’s hand and let her feel the water. She wrote the word “water” on the back of Helen’s hand. And Helen got it. From that day on, Helen Keller began to study every day. She worked very hard. Helen learned many new words every day. She learned to speak, read and write. When she was 20 years old, she went to university. Later, she became a great writer. One of her famous books is The Story of My Life. Helen’s story gives everyone hope.
