Dear Mr. Know,
My 13-year-old son was in an accident sev***al days ago. His doctors say he has no chance of seeing again. I have no exp***ience with the blind (盲的). I want to know how he may behave in the future. I want to know ev***ything I can to help him. P***ase help!
Mary
Dear Mary,
My son, Trey, who is nine years old, also lost his vision (视力) suddenly. I think one of the most important things for you to do is to find oth*** blind kids of your son’s age in your area. He will need someone to talk to that und***stands his situation and can give him some advice. Sometimes, oth*** kids treat your son diff***ently, and it takes time, exp***ience, and patience to ***arn the best ways of dealing with this. But if your son had anoth*** successful, blind teenag*** to talk to, that p***son could tell him how they dealt with the same situations. Also, often talk to the doctor so that they can show your son how to get around safely. ***arning to use assistant technology(****技术) and Brail***(盲人用的点字法) are also extremely important. Wh***e I live, we have a place cal***d Envision that off***s these s***vices. Check around for something similar in your area. I hope I have been of some help.

Music is diff***ent from songs. Songs express feelings with lyrics, but music with tones (音调). Unlike songs, music tones in themselves have no specific meanings.
