Exercise 4

Study the text with four missing sentences. In each gap (1–4) write a letter that corresponds to the missing sentence (A–F). Two sentences don’t fit with any gap. What’s the first word that comes to mind when talking of Helen Keller? Some people would most likely say “activist” or “advocate”, but many would go with “author.” 4.1 1. B, 2. D, 3. F, 4. C, 5. A, 6. E In fact, before becoming any of the many other things, Helen was a writer. Her very first work was created at the young age of eleven, which further supports the idea that writing was an integral and, some would argue, the most important element of her identity.

Perhaps one of her most recognisable works is an autobiography titled The Story of My Life. 4.2 1. B, 2. D, 3. F, 4. C, 5. A, 6. E While only covering a small fragment of her biography, it provides invaluable insight into her experiences with deafblindness. 4.3 1. B, 2. D, 3. F, 4. C, 5. A, 6. E

While both publications shed light on Helen’s fascinating and inspirational journey, one could argue the biggest impact on larger society didn’t come from her autobiographies but from educational essays. In a 1907 article, Keller discussed the practice of washing newborns’ eyes with a disinfectant solution which could help prevent childhood blindness. Unfortunately, at the time it wasn’t commonplace. 4.4 1. B, 2. D, 3. F, 4. C, 5. A, 6. E As one can surely note, whether it was speeches or publications, Keller would change America for the better.

A. The book was published in 1903 and recounted events of Helen’s life up to the age of 21.
B. Luckily, Helen’s advocacy yielded results and this public health measure became widespread.
C. Helen hasn’t published many books but the ones she did were nationwide successes.
D. Indeed, throughout her life, Helen published twelve books and several articles, so such qualification seems fitting.
E. Despite her best efforts, it would take a long time for this public health measure to become commonplace.
F. She later supplemented that information with another autobiography titled The World I Live In.

Study the article about Helen Keller’s life below. Translate the words and phrases in brackets to fill in the gaps. Should you need some inspiration, look no further than Helen Keller. She’s nothing short of a legend for the deafblind community as well as for the society at large. Why? She left behind a 5.1 Tu uzupełnij (SPUŚCIZNĘ) of persistence, devotion, and pure human goodness. How? Well, I ought to start by mentioning that she was extremely perceptive to language and mastered it despite struggling with a serious disability. In fact, she became 5.2 Tu uzupełnij (BIEGŁA) in three languages – a feat that many able-bodied people can only dream of. Furthermore, she was a prime example of what a 5.3 Tu uzupełnij (RZECZNIK PRAW OSÓB Z NIEPEŁNOSPRAWNOŚCIAMI) should be like. For a long time, she was the spokesperson for the American Foundation for the Blind, 5.4 Tu uzupełnij (ZWIĘKSZAJĄC ŚWIADOMOŚĆ) of her disability, petitioning Congress, and, in general, changing how society perceived deafblind people. And if that’s not enough to convince you of what an inspiring person she was, consider this: she was the first 5.5 Tu uzupełnij (osobą niesłyszącą i niewidzącą) to obtain a Bachelor’s degree. While it might not seem like much in comparison to her other achievements, it surely speaks to many of us on a personal level. Attending university might seem like a 5.6 Tu uzupełnij (WYCZERPUJĄCĄ) prospect to some, especially young people, and doing that when your circumstances are similar to hers is even scarier. However, her higher education journey is proof to everyone that should you truly desire it, you can 5.7 Tu uzupełnij (OPANOWAĆ) anything!
