Answer 1

Helen Keller was an American writer and speaker. She was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama in 1880. When she was nineteen months old, she became sick and lost her eyesight and hearing. She was a good and obedient girl. When Helen was seven years old, her family decided to find a teacher for her. They finally found a teacher, Anne Sullivan. She had been blind, but a series of operations helped her restore her eyesight. Anne traveled to Alabama to live with Helen's family to teach her. Anne helped Helen to learn how to communicate with other people. She taught her the names of things by writing the words on Helen's hand. Her first word was "water". She learned this word when Anne put Helen's hand in some water and wrote W,A,T,E,R on her hand. Then she learned words with this method. When she was nineteen years old, Helen went to Radcliffe College in Massachusetts. She graduated from Radcliffe in 1904. She was the first deaf and blind person to earn a bachelor of Arts degree. Helen Keller died in her sleep on June 1, 1968, at Arcan Ridge in Connecticut.
