I am Steve. I was born and grew up in South Wales. My favorite place to play was out on the hills where my imagination had plenty of space to expand (拓展).
My family moved out of Wales when I was thirteen. I went to a new school. One of my subjects was French. Because I had never learned any French, my teacher told me to sit in the corner and write anything I was interested in. That's the time I started writing, just for myself, and I've been writing ever since.
I have always loved BIG IDEAS, and so I enjoy writing fantastic stories. And I also write horror (恐怖) I think they are like the old fairytales (童话故事) ，and can teach you important things.
I am in my forties on the outside, twelve on the inside. I like rock music, Indian and Chinese food, and I enjoy drinking. I live in a small village with my wife Mary, ducks, cats, goats, hens and lots of rabbits. If you'd like to find out more about me and hope to buy any books, go to www. showkett. freeserve. co. uk

Henry works in a factory. He comes from a poor family and was in school for only four years. He has to do the hard work, but he is paid less. He likes to watch football matches very much and spends much time on them.
One afternoon there was a big football match on the playground. He borrowed some money from his friend and hurried there. There were a lot of people there. And all the tickets were sold out. He was sorry for it. He saw a pole(杆) outside the playground and climbed it quickly. A policeman came and said, "Don't stay on it. It's dangerous."
"Wait a minute, please!" Henry said and just at that moment the policeman heard cheers on the playground and asked in a hurry, "Which team has kicked a goal (进球)?""Ours!""Wonderful! You can stay there. But take care!"The policeman said happily and left. When the match would be soon over, he came back again and asked, "Who has won?""Theirs, 3:2.""Come down,"the policeman said angrily. "Such a match is not worth watching!"
Henry had to come down. But soon they heard cheers again. The policeman said in a hurry, "Climb up quickly and see who has kicked a goal."

      In the morning , we went camping in Green Nature Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. However, in the afternoon , when we finished our picnic(野餐), it was dark and windy. Soon ,there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide(藏身).
      Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining .There were hours to go before we reached the campsite(野营地). It was even worse that our compass showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!
    We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent(帐篷) to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up it . Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep up warm. But we couldn't as everything was wet. We dried ourselves and waited inside the tent. At about five o'clock , it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us were tired.
    This camping trip may not be successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I've learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit(精神).
