George Stephenson was born in 1781 in a poor family. He had to start work when he was only eight. When George was fourteen, he became his father’s helper. He spent a lot of time learning about engines. On holidays, he often took engines into pieces and studied each piece carefully. Soon he became a very good worker though he could not read or write.　　

   He began to learn the English letters 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 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 train was the greatest one among them. Today when we watch or take trains from one place to another, we will think of this great man-------George Stephenson.

　　When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence“How do you do?”as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

　　Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It's important to master（掌握）the rules（规则）for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listeners can't understand the speakers' sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

　　“She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”

　　“I have seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”

　　When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit（精神实质）of the language and use it as the English speaker does.
