Self-check & Reading

主编:黄冈中学英语集体备课组

Step 1 The introduction to the text

  Are there disabled people around you? It is difficult for disabled people to do some normal things. They can’t take good care of themselves, especially the blind. They can’t see anything. Liz Smith, a blind and deaf person, is lucky enough to get help from a dog named Lucky. Lucky is a specially trained dog. It got six months of training in “Animal Helpers”. So it can understand the owner’s different instructions. It can fetch books or do shopping for Liz Smith. It fills her life with lots of pleasure. In my view, as a disabled person, we should regard physical problems as unimportant and face the challenges bravely. As a healthy person, we should volunteer to help disabled people.

Ⅲ key sentences

你帮助我能够拥有“幸运”。
