Question

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Helen Keller suffered from a strange sickness when she was only 19 months old. It made her completely blind and deaf. For the next five years she had no way of successfully communicating with other people. Then a teacher Anne Sullivan arrived from Boston to help her. Miss Sullivan herself had once been blind. She tried to teach Helen to live like other people. She taught her how to use her hands as a way of speaking. Miss Sullivan stayed with Helen for many years. She taught Helen how to read, how to write and how to speak. She helped her to get ready for school and college. More than anything, Helen wanted to do what others did, and do it just as well. In time Helen did go to college and completed her studies with high honors. But it was a hard struggle. Few of the books she needed were written in the Braille language that the blind could read by touching pages. Miss Sullivan and others had to teach her what was in these books by forming words in her hands. The study of geometry and physics was especially difficult. Helen could only learn about squares, triangles and other geometrical forms by making them with wires. She kept feeling the different shapes of these wires until she could see them in her mind.
Helen Keller died on June 1st, 1968. She was 87 years old. Her message of courage
and hope remains. She is respected world-widely as a pride of human beings.

Efforts Lead to Success
This passage tells us that Helen Keller managed to complete her studies at college in her struggling way. It speaks for the truth that one has to make great efforts if he wants to be successful in a certain field.
Another story in point is myself. I speak very fluent English now. But six years ago, however, I was not able to speak “a single word. I was so interested in” that I decided to start to learn it from ABC. Having entered an English evening school, I spent 15 hours a day listening, reading, speaking and writing on weekends. When I had difficulties, I never gave in. After three year's hard work, I could communicate with the native speakers. Now I am the No.1 candidate for the English Speaking Contest in our school, owing to my excellent performance in English.
My story and Hellene Keller's make me believe one's efforts will be rewarded in success if he is greatly determined and persistent in achieving his goal.
