Day 6

Today, people who are deaf and blind can receive a standard education. Schools and

organizations help them make the necessary adaptations. ___1___ At one time, educators had few

ideas about how to teach children who were both deaf and blind.

Laura Dewey Bridgman may have been the first deaf and blind person to learn how to read

and write. She was born in New Hampshire on December 21, 1829. Scarlet fever destroyed both

her hearing and her sight at age two. ___2___ Only her sense of touch was not affected. A local

handyman, Asa Tenny taught her to communicate using a system of signs. A professor heard about

this and wrote a newspaper article about Laura.

___3___ He was head of the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston. Most educational

experts believed it was impossible to teach a deaf and blind student reading, writing, or arithmetic.

Dr. Howe wanted to meet a new challenge-teaching Laura. At age 8, Laura began living at the

Perkins School. Dr. Howe needed to develop new methods of teaching because of Laura's

deafness. He had Laura feel an item, such as a spoon, and then ran her fingers over a label that had

the word spoon spelled in raised letters. Initially Laura struggled to understand the relationship

between the item and the word. ___4___

Laura learned to read words, and then she worked backward to learn the alphabet and

numbers. ___5___ Previously, people had little knowledge of what went on in the mind of a deaf

and blind person. Laura showed that she was as intelligent and capable as anyone. She helped

show the world how intelligent and successful a deaf and blind person could be.

A. However, this was not always the case.

B. The article attracted the attention of Dr. Samuel Howe.

C. The illness also damaged her senses of smell and taste.

D. Finally, after several weeks, her face lighted up with human expression.

E. She had few ways of expressing her thoughts or interacting with other people.

F. Eventually she was able to keep a journal of her thoughts and experiences.

G. After three years, she returned to Perkins, where she lived for the rest of her life.

A “gap year” is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university, or

before a postgraduate course. ___1__That helps young people with useful learning experiences,

new skills and makes them more independent. Employers and universities want to see evidence of

enterprise, maturity and commitment.

Many choose to do voluntary work. This could include teaching in the mountains in Nepal, a

conservation project in Madagascar. ___2___The top five travel destinations were Tibet,

Indonesia, Taiwan, Eastern Europe and Canada.

___3___Some young people look for work if they need to earn money for accommodation

and food. Popular jobs include bar work, fruit picking and being a tour guide.

Julie Taylor graduated from Hull University and now works as a manager in an international

company. She says: “During my gap year, I spent four months in Kenya teaching English, art and

physical education to children aged 8-18. ___4__I am very happy that I didn’t head off to

university straight after school because I learned a lot about myself. I worked beforehand to pay

for the trip, showing I had good self-motivation and organizational skills, and I was able to get by

on very little money. Employers see that climbing to an altitude of 4,985m shows strength and

determination. ___5___”
