Dear Helen Keller,
My name is Amelia Grant. I live in a small city. There, my father has an oil factory. At the age of eight, something terrible happened while I ___1___was___ playing near an oil well. It made me lose most of my hearing.
A lot has changed for me ___2___since___ then. For one thing, I cannot hear music like before. I used to love listening to my mother sing songs. When I first lost my hearing, I was sad that I ___3___could___ never again hear my mother sing. But now I put my ear to her chest ___4___to feel___ the vibrations(震动) of her voice. Now, I feel music instead of hearing it.
Also, I have to go to ___5___a___ different school in another city—Texas School for the Deaf. It is over 300 kilometers away from my hometown. The teachers there are kind, ___6___but___ I can only see my parents during holidays. I miss them very much.
During ___7___our___ last winter holiday, my daddy gave me a book you wrote, The Story of My Life. From it, I learned a lot about you. When you first became deaf and blind, you had a hard time showing people ___8___what you wanted___. Because of this, you would sometimes get mad and make ___9___loud___ noises. Now I know your feelings and I ___10___am encouraged___ by your book. I'm going to write to you in a few days to tell you more.
Yours,
Amelia Grant

If the young people are strong, our country will be strong. As a saying goes, "If the young people are strong, our country will be strong." Young people are the future and the hope of our country. So what should we teenagers do to make ourselves strong? Firstly, we should study hard and do well in our subjects. Besides, we should obey the law and rules. We can't do anything illegal. In addition, we should be polite to others and do things politely. Moreover, we should protect the environment. We can't throw rubbish anywhere. What's more, we should be friendly to others and give a hand to people in need. Let's do these things from now on. |
