I have a very special relationship with books. We didn't have a TV growing up, so whole family would get together in my brother's room every night. While my mum knitted(编织), my father would read aloud to us for hours. We loved J. K. Rowling's exciting stories of Harry Potter and lost (we) in her world of magic. Before I entered the first grade, we had already finished the seven books of the Harry Potter series.
I loved the stories in the books, learning how to read them was a very big challenge— I had dyslexia(阅读障碍). This meant my brain had trouble (put) the letters in the correct order, making reading and writing much (hard) for me. I finally learned to read at the start of the (four) grade with the help of a tutor(家庭教师).
Instead of making me run away from books, my dyslexia made me want to read even more. My parents often took me to a bookstore near our home. I bought a book about Helen Keller there and read it many times. I was deeply (touch) by Helen Keller's story of dealing with blindness and deafness with great courage. I (build) confidence and had a lasting love for reading.
Reading became a beautiful part of my life. For my parents, reading was like breathing. Our home was filled books, and my mum and dad always talked about what they were reading. Being able to join these conversations made me feel like I was (true) a part of the family.
