George Stephenson was born in 1781 in a poor family. He had to start work when he was only eight. At the age of fourteen, he became his father’s helper. It took him a lot of time learning about engines(发动机). And on holidays he often made one engine into pieces and studied each piece carefully. George could not read or write, but he became a very good worker soon. He began to learn English when he was seventeen years old. Every day after he did twelve hours of hard work, he walked a long way to have lessons from a young school teacher. On his eighteenth birthday, he wrote his own name for the first time in his life. George invented many things in his life. The _________ was the greatest one of all. Today when we take trains from one place to another, we’ll think of this great man—George Stephenson.
