Why do you think Helen behaved like this? The desire to express myself grew. The few signs I used were not enough to make myself understood and this made me feel angry.

My troublesome behaviour occurred daily, sometimes hourly. Ex. IIIRead to learnScanning: Which paragraphs are the words in?thinkwaterdolllovelove(3)(4)(7-9)(10)(11-12)Ex.
