Are you interested in projects and do you want to make a good one？Well，that doesn't come easily．You need to do the following tasks：

TALK：You and your classmates discuss in detail all that you would like to do to realize your project．

WRITE：One of your classmates acts as the secretary（秘书）．He or she keeps full notes as your group discusses．Later he or she will sort（整理） your ideas to make them better．

PLAN：With the secretary's notes，your group makes a list of everything you'll need and who will get，do or research what．

DO：Each group member gets and does and researches something on the list．Your group puts together all you have found and tries to make the project better﹣organized．You prepare to present it in class．

Knowing all the above，you may want to try a project．Why not start with this：you can find out more about the history of your city．What did it look like？Which famous people lived there？

After college I taught during the （43）　　in high schools and attended evening classes at London University，where I got a （44）　　in history．I became a lecturer at a college and was thinking of giving up that job to write full time when I was offered a part﹣time job at Leeds University．I began to feel proud of myself﹣﹣it was a working﹣class boy who had left school early，now teaching at the university．

My writing career（生涯）（45）　　 when I realized my own style．Now I am rich and famous，have been on TV，and met lots of film stars．But what does it mean？I just wish all the people that have put me down had said，"I believe in you．You will succeed．"
