A hint to those who see
Read for details
After a long walk in the woods, what can you observe
A seeing friend: Nothing in particular.
For me who cannot see : Through mere touch I can find hundreds of things to interest me , how much more beauty must be revealed by sight
I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes, say for just three days.
On the first 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.
On the first day
On the second day
On the second day, she would like to see a display of the progress of civilization. She would go to the museums and spend the evening at a theatre or at the movies.
On the third day
On the third day, she would again greet the dawn, anxious to discover new delights, new revelations of beauty. She will spend the third day observing people in their day-to-day life.
The hint given to those who are physically normal :
Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind.
Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow.
Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail.
Smell the perfume of flowers , taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again.
As for Helen:
sight must be the most delightful.

What sentence structure is used repeatedly
What figure of speech is it
Read the sentences from the passage and answer the questions.
How does this technique help to express the author's emotions
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.
Now make your own sentences using this technique.
☆Galileo studied, thought, and experimented.
☆She traveled by land, by sea, and by air.
☆A(yù) teacher who spends time with his students and who thoughtfully answers their questions will be respected and loved.
☆There is no reason for us to be enemies. Neither of us seeks the territory of the other; neither of us seeks domination over the other; neither of us seeks to stretch out our hands and rule the world.
Parallelism
Group work
Read and discuss the meaning of the sentence and decide whether you agree or disagree with it.
Organise your talk and make notes.
Give a talk about your opinion on the sentence from the passage.
Give your talk to the class.
A Sample
It would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life, which sounds ridiculous but is true in fact.
For one thing, we could value everything we used to take for granted. Second, we could experience the difficult situations the disabled persons have to experience every day. In turn you would be reeady to help people in diffiluty. For example, if you were blind and became a seeing person one day, can you imagine how wildly you were excited! It's natural for you to help blind people because you had the same empathy. Finally, we could raise our awareness to keep healthy. Some dieting and sleeping habits tend to lead to eye diseases or hearing problems, which we could overlook everyday.
I think this is a ggod way to remind us to appreciste what we have now.

Writing about an experience
Read the passage and answer the questions.
1 Why did the author go to the “dark restaurant”
Because the author wanted to understand the experience of being blind, thinking eating would be the most difficult activity.
2 What difficulties did the author have during the meal
① The author knocked over glasses and dropped food.
② The author ate much more slowly, trying to guess what was being eaten.
③ Pouring water was very difficult.
④ After failing to pick up any food with a fork for five minutes, the author decided to use hands, but stuck one hand into a bowl of warm, thick soup.
⑤ Even using a spoon, most of the soup ended up on the author’s shirt.
3 How did the author feel after finishing the meal
The author left the restaurant feeling hungry, though much more aware of the challenges that blind people face.
Try to experience what it is like to have a disability and make notes.
Now write a short passage to describe your experience.
One possible version:
　　Today in class, we played a game called “the blind traveller”, in which one has to walk through some barriers with their eyes blindfolded. It is through this experience that I started to realise how inconvenient life could be for a blind person.
　　Not being able to see where I was going, I kept going off the path and turning in the wrong direction. What’s more, without the ability to accurately locate the position of the barriers, I often fell over them, even though I was moving at an extremely slow speed. And a loss of balance increased the difficulty of this short journey. After falling over more than ten times, I finally reached my destination on hands and knees.
　　Without sight, I couldn’t even complete this short journey of no more than 15 metres smoothly, let alone overcome all the other various difficulties in daily life. I do realise that life must be much more challenging for the blind people.
