Helen Keller was a famous writer. She became blind and lost her hearing at the age of nineteen months after a serious illness. Helen met her home teacher, Sullivan, when she was six years old and she learned to read and write by touching. This helped her to understand and communicate with the world around her. At the age of fourteen, Helen went to a special school for the deaf and blind. When she was twenty-three years old, Helen published her first book. The book told the story of her early life. Following that, Helen published some other books. In 1903, she wrote the world-famous classic Three Days to See.

Third, limit your outdoor activities at the hottest time of the day, such as lunchtime.
Finally, take breaks more often if you have to work outdoors, and stop working once you don’t feel good.
It’s the weather report for today. Thanks for watching.
Review Activity 1
Natural disasters are always harmful. Most clearly, they harm the environment, break down homes, and even cause deaths in large numbers. Still, many of the bad e ects are unseen. For example, a heatwave can raise the temperature of sea water, and kill the fish and plants in the sea. As a result, we have less seafood.
Although di erent disasters may have di erent causes, human activities can also bring about natural disasters. For example, the burning of coal can lead to global warming, and then cause longer and hotter heatwaves and more serious rainstorms. We should try our best to prevent natural disasters. At the same time, we should also learn how to protect ourselves in disasters.
