Lesson31 Success story

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small work-shop of his own. In his twenties, Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years, the small work-shop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

知识笔记：原谅我偷懒，没记笔记。

练习感悟：有个很欣喜的发现，就是今天的课文读完后，能够对照中文，差不多讲出英文来，我以前一直很怕背诵英文，现在发现，先用这个方法来慢慢过渡，也蛮好的。
