Choose the correct words to complete the text.
A book that inspired me was Louder than Words by Laura Jarratt. I'm not very good
at
talking to people so it
was
great to find a book about a girl, Rafaela, who can't speak at all. Her brother was
like
my brother. He helped her and slowly she became more
confident
and started speaking. In the end, her brother needed help and Rafaela was there for him. My brother helps me
too, but I hope he doesn't have the
same
kind of problems that Rafaela's brother had!
