When I was about 12, I suddenly began to like writing poetry. I gave up all my other hobbies, such as collecting stamps, reading novels, playing football, etc, and spent all my spare time reading poetry and writing it. This habit of writing poetry on every possible occasion(场合) soon got me into trouble at school. If a lesson did not interest me, I would take out my notebook and start writing poems in class. Of course I did this very carefully, but it was not long before I got caught. One day while I was busy writing a poem during a geography lesson, I looked up to find the teacher standing over me. He looked rather angry because I was not paying attention. He tore my poem up, and warned me not to waste time in his lesson. All the same I believed that I had written a good poem, so that evening I wrote it out again from memory. Not long after, I read about a poetry contest(比赛) and I decided to send in my poem. Weeks later, long after I had given up hope, I got a letter telling me I had won the first prize. Everyone at school was very impressed --- except the geography teacher. He watched me more carefully than ever. He was quite sure that I was not going to write poetry in his lesson!
