Mr. Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He
1 that Inez was deaf. She “talked” with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language, and he decided to teach
2 students so that they could also “talk” with Inez.
First, they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to
3 . Other letters, such as C ,were easier because the shape of the hand was the same as the shape of the letter.
The
4 thing they learned was finer spelling. They signed one letter after another to spell a word. They
5 with two-letter words such as
at and
on . Then they spelled
6 words.
Finally, Mr. Klein showed that
7 one sign could be used for a whole word. To make the sign for the word
fine, a person spreads out the fingers on one hand,
8 the thumb(拇指) to the chest(前胸) , and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just done with the hands. Expressions on the face are also
9 . The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.
When Inez first entered the classroom. She looked
10 . But the students signed, “Good morning, Inez. ” She gave the class a big smile and signed back, “What a wonderful welcome !”
