I hated the assig nments to turn out Ion g, lifeless paragraphs that were ago ny for teachers to read and for me to write. 从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念 头，但直等到我高中三年级，这一想法才有了实现的可能。在这之前，我对所 有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。我痛恨那些长而 乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。 Whe n our class was assig ned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year En glish I an ticipated ano ther cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects.

Late in the year we tackled the in formal essay. Mr. Fleagle distributed a homework sheet offeri ng us a choice of topics. None was quite so simple-min ded as What I Did on My Summer Vacati on，” but most seemed to be almost as dull. I took the list home and did no thi ng un til the ni ght before the essay was due.
