"The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Sullivan Macy came to me. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old." so wrote Helen Keller.
The morning after the ______ of her teacher, Helen was led into a room and given a doll. After she had played with it for a while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelt the word d-o-l-l onto her hand. At once Helen was interested in this finger play and tried to ______her teacher. When she finally succeeded in forming the letters correctly, she was pleased and proud. Excitedly she found her way to her mother, held up her hand and wrote the letters "doll". And in the days that followed, she learned to spell a great many words in this way.
Helen soon learned, however, that things and _____have names. One day, while she was playing with her new doll, Miss Sullivan placed the doll on her lap, made her touch again and wrote the letters d-o-l-l on the palm of her hand. This was repeated several times until Helen ______ the word with the object.
"Once as we were walking down the path to the well I was _____by some peculiar smell. I asked, “What is that strange smell in the air?” Miss Sullivan led me to the well. She took my hand and placed it under the spout from which water flew out." As the cool stream washed Helen's hand, Miss Sullivan spelt the "water" on her other hand. Suddenly everything came back. She knew then that w-a-t-e-r meant the cool ______ with which she was playing now with both her hands. That living word gave her joy, light and hope. On reaching the house, every familiar object she touched seemed to have a new ______ for her. She was eager to know more. As her education progressed, though not without difficulty for both the teacher and the pupil, Helen was living a new life full of excitement. She now had the _____to a language and was keen to use it.
We who have eyes to see and ears to hear can learn ______. But Helen could not, as she was both blind and deaf. She made full use of all the other ______ she had, to such an advantage that she became the world's famous teacher of the blind and the deaf.
