Listening practice: Helen Keller

Possibly, you have not heard of Helen Keller, a girl that could not see, hear or speak. 

By clicking on the pucture of young Helen, you will link to a scene from a movie on how she turned from a very wild and suffereing child into an able, loving and happy girl, thanks to the unwavering faith of her teacher, Anne Sullivan.

Now, you have a link to a cartoon explaining her story.

Finally, you can learn about Anne Sullivan and Hellen Keller's method.

I hope the story inspires you. With will power and perseverance almost everything can be achieved!
