She became a wild child and nobody could communicate with her.She was always angry.從此她成為一個怪異的孩子，沒有人可以和她交流。她總是發(fā)脾氣。

When she was about 7 years old,her teacher,Mrs.Anne Sullivan,came to her.Anne is a kind-hearted person,and she is partially blind.在她七歲的時候，她的老師安妮·薩利文來到她身邊。安妮是一個善良的人，她的雙眼也部分失明。

Mrs.Anne Sullivan played with Helen Keller.She taught her to touch things and she taught Helen Keller to pronounce.薩利文小姐和海倫·凱勒一起玩耍。她教海倫·凱勒觸摸事物。教她如何發(fā)音。

One day，she succeeded in teaching Helen Keller how to spell the word“water”beside a well.And for the first time Helen Keller knew each item had a name and every word stood for an item.有一天，薩利文在一口井旁邊成功地教會海倫拼寫“water”這個單詞。海倫·凱勒第一次知道每件物品都有一個名字，每個單詞都代表一件事物。

From then on,Helen Keller loved the game with Mrs.Anne Sullivan.She wanted to learn more and more.What’s more,Anne taught Helen Keller to feel love and warmth.從此，海倫迷上了和薩利文小姐的游戲。她想學很多很多的詞匯。更重要的是，薩利文教海倫感受到了愛和溫暖。

With her help,Helen completed a university education.Helen Keller was good at French and German.She helped the deaf people all her life.And her autobiography,The Story of My Life and Three Days to See inspired people around the world.We need the spirit of Helen,to fight against the fate of injustice,make our life meaningful.在莎莉文的幫助下，海倫完成了大學學業(yè)。她精通法語和德語并畢生致力于對聾啞殘疾人的國際化服務(wù)，她的自傳《我的生活》和《假如給我三天光明》都深深鼓勵了人們。我們需要海倫的精神，戰(zhàn)勝命運的不公，使自己過上有意義的生活。
