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
engineers (发动机). And on holidays he often made one engine to pieces and studies each piece
carefully. Soon he became a very good worker though he could not read or write. He began to learn
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 school teacher. On his eighteenth birthday, he wrote
