I like reading.I love many different kinds of books,because they not only open my mind but also give me (81)courage.
Up to now I have read a lot of books,such as magazines,novels and storybooks.But one of the books that I like best is The Story of My Life.It was (82)written by American writer Helen Keller in 1902.She was a blind,deaf and dumb person.In the book,she wrote that she had not been able to see,hear or speak (83)since she was one year and seven months old.This unusual thing made her very (84)sad.Luckily,she met her good teacher,Miss Sullivan (85)at the age of seven.Helen was getting happier every day.Then,Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words.At first,Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen's hands with her own fingers again and again.Helen was a very (86)hard-workinggirl.She tried as much as possible to remember words.After that,she wrote many famous works.The Story of My Life is one of (87)them.
The Story of My Life describes her hard struggle(奋斗) to(88)become a good writer and educationist of the world.
It (89)shows us an important truth:Nothing is (90)difficult if you put your heart into it!This is why I like it best.What about you?
