Before reading
P26 1
Look at the charts and answer the questions.
1. Are the numbers different from what you expected? In what way?
2. What special assistance can people with
disabilities make use of in their daily lives?
3. Do you know of any stories about people with
disabilities? What have you learnt from him / her?
2. People with limited mobility problems could use wheelchairs, walking sticks, handrails...
People who have reduced vision could use special pavements for the blind, Braille signs...
Possible answer
Are there any people with a disability around you?
How many people do you think have a disability?
Helen Keller
Blind
Deaf
American
Famous
author and lecturer
(1880-1968)
Who is she?
Stricken by an illness at the age of 19 months, Keller was left blind and deaf. Beginning in 1887, Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, helped her make great progress with her ability to communicate, and Keller went on to college, graduating in 1904. During her lifetime, she received many honors in recognition of her accomplishments.
Have you ever read the essay by Helen Keller?
What would she do if she could have three days to see?
Now let's read the excerpts from Three days to see.
While reading
Read and finish the tasks as quickly as possible.
How many parts can we divide the text into?
My opinion
Compare “I” with my friends who can see
The plan of the three days with sight
My hint
Discoveries in the woods
My friends
“I”
I. Read the Part 2 again and complete the table.
I find many things interesting through mere touch.
Nothing in particular.
On the first day
On the second day
On the third day
She would want to see the kind people who have helped her and accompanied her through life. Then she would like to see the books which have opened her mind. In the afternoon, she would take a long walk in the woods and appreciate the beauty of nature.
She would like to see a display of the progress of civilisation. She would go to the museums and spend the evening at a theater or at the movies.
She would again greet the dawn, anxious to discover new delights, new revelations of beauty. She would spend the third day observing people in their day-to-day life.
II. Read the Part 3 again and find out what the author would do if she could see.
P26 2
What's the author's hint to those who see?
Try to make the most use of the senses: see, hear, tactile sense, smell and taste.
III. Read the Part 4 again and answer the question.
1. To help readers understand what it is like to be blind.
2. To make readers without disabilities appreciate what they have.
3. To persuade readers to care about the blind.
Choose the author's purpose in writing the passage and give your reasons.
P28 3
What are the main wishes of the author? Give an example.
Think and Share.
P28
The author would like to be able to see for three days. She would like to be able to see the people who have helped her and with whom she spends her time. She would like to see the books she has read.
1. What sentence structure is used repeatedly? What figure of speech is it?
2. How does this technique help to express the author's emotions?
Read the sentences from the passage and answer the questions.
The use of parallelism in speech or writing allows speakers or writers to maintain a consistency within their work and creates a balanced flow of ideas. Moreover, parallelism can be used as a tool for persuasion.
