Helen Keller, the well—known writer and educator, died yesterday at the age of 88.Helen Keller was a hero to blind and deaf people around the world.

     Helen was born in 1880 in the United States.When she was nineteen months old, Helen fell ill.She had a high fever.It made her blind and deaf.Before her illness, Helen had been a bright and happy girl.When she lost her sight and hearing, she became difficult and wild.

     Helen wanted to understand other people.Sometimes, she stood between her mother and her father.She put her hands on their mouths.She could feel them talk.She felt one mouth move, and then the other mouth move.What were they doing? Helen didn't know.She shouted and cried.

    In 1887, a young teacher, Anne Sullivan, began to help Helen.She spelled words on Helen' s hand with her fingers.At first, the words didn't mean anything to Helen.Then, one day, Helen was playing in some water.Anne Sullivan spelled W - A - T - E - R onto Helen' s hand.Suddenly, Helen understood. That day, she learned many more words:mother, father, sister—and teacher.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

     As Helen grew older, she learned to read.She had special books with letters she could touch.She also learned to write and even speak.When Helen studied at university, Anne Sullivan sat beside her.She listened to the professors’ words, and then spelled their words onto Helen' s hand.

     After Helen finished university, she visited many countries.She spoke about her life.She was very famous for her courage and hard work.She did her best to help other people who were deaf or blind.

     She will be greatly missed.
