It was very late when I arrived in London. The railway station was big and dark. I didn't know the way to my hotel, so I asked a man. I spoke English very slowly, but the man still could not understand me. I said my questions again, and at last he understood. He answered me, but I couldn't understand him.“I'm not English,”I said. Then he spoke slowly. But I still couldn't understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The man and I looked at each other（彼此）and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it.“You'll soon learn English!”he said. I thought, in England, each man doesn't speak the same language.

  Schoolwork is sometimes difficult，but I don’t think it’s  ever boring．We get lots of interesting projects to do．

  Sometimes，a project is just a long article．In English class，we write articles and speeches about things that happened in history．In science class，we once built bridges using only toothpicks(牙簽)and candy! I love projects like that．

  Projects are a big part of our grades．So，it’s very important whether you are good at the project or not．I am bad at building things．So，when I was asked to build a model，my grade for that whole term Was low． However, when asked to draw a picture of myself, I Was able to save my terrible art grade.

  Projects can make people wonderful leaders，too．I was once working on a speech with another boy．I did most of the work，typed it up and printed the pictures．He didn’t do much．At first．I was very angry, but then I realized that I had never asked him for help or told him what to do!

  I've noticed that projects make people act in many different ways．Some people know clearly what to do．Others can end up having problems．The most interesting type of person I have seen．is someone who didn’t start working until a few days or hours before the project’s deadline(最終期限)．One of my friends didn’t write down his Birthday Project Speech；he made it up as he talked．It Was great! Not everyone can do that though！
