She made a rule for herself: memorize 1 English words every day. If she can't memorize them completely, she will bite her fingers a few times if she forgets a few.
Therefore, her English has made great progress. Gradually, she began to translate English materials for the relevant units. On one occasion, she translated a novel-the seaside clinic.
When she came to the publishing house with a thick translation, the old editor was deeply moved, so she personally wrote a preface for her, entitled: Road, extending at the foot of a paralyzed girl.

He almost thinks he is the most unfortunate child in the world, so he seldom plays games with his classmates. When the teacher asks him to answer questions, he always lowers his head and says nothing.
whatever shortcomings he can overcome, he will take advantage of what he can't. Through his speech, he learned how to use a falsetto to hide his fangs and the posture of his piling worker. Although there was nothing surprising in his speech, he did not fail because of his voice and posture.
He didn't have a loud voice or imposing posture, and he didn't have amazing words like some people. However, at that time, he was one of the most powerful speakers. Because Roosevelt didn't shrink back and depressed in the face of defects, he fully and comprehensively knew himself.

Everyone thought he was a master of acrobatic troupe invited by the school, but when he was on the stage, showing two empty sleeves, everyone was shocked.
It turns out that when he was seven years old, he lost his arms because of high-voltage wire shock, but he was good at swimming, football and calligraphy. In the past fourteen years, he has been insisting on turning over books with his feet. He is also the top liberal arts scholar in Yiliang County, Kunming, and the top 6 in Yunnan Province.
