题目内容:
Glenda and Raphael Savitz moved to Newton in 2016. They found themselves welcomed into the neighbourhood with truly open arms. Three months later, they gave birth to Samantha . Unluckily, she was born entirely deaf. The neighbourhood was still excited to welcome little Samantha, of course, but they were worried about her parents.
The neighbours wanted to do something to make things easier for the family. All the neighbourhood agreed to take on the responsibility of learning an entirely second language all for their youngest member. Samantha would grow up learning to “speak” American Sign Language, so her friends and neighbours would learn to speak it right along with her. The group of 18 residents employed a sign language teacher and the whole neighbourhood except Glenda and Raphael Savitz began to learn American Sign Language in a neighbour's big living room. They believed people everywhere wished to have a community with something positive around and Samantha was bringing about a reason for them to get together.
The neighbours went on learning hard and kept things secret for as long as possible. They wanted thirstily to communicate with the little girl. Finally, the time had come to show Raphael, Glenda, and Samantha what they had done. The family found themselves deeply moved by the welcoming signs of their friends and neighbours. Glenda recalled it as one of the most affecting experiences she'd ever felt. A present for Samantha would have made her grateful, and this was so much more. Now after neighbours say hello to her parents, they bend down to greet three-year-old Samantha with sign language. At every turn, in the street, the grocery store, or by the canal, Samantha feels included.
