　　Text 10

　　W：Good morning, everybody．Today for our writing class, we are glad to have Mr．Henry Stone with us．A well know writer in this country, he is going to share with us his writing experiences．Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories．

　　M：Ok, I watch people a lot, I do that when I travel, I have been to many countries such as Britain, Italy, and Sweden．So I spent a lot of time at the airports, while waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination．For example, the other day when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple, they were buying magazines at that moment, they were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase, every few seconds, the women looked around, I wondered someone was following them．Perhaps they were running away and, you know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day：a banker stole one million ponds a week before and disappeared with his wife, there was a picture of them in the paper, the couple really looked like the thieves, maybe I should stop them．Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other．And the women walked away．Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that, but I find things like that very useful for my writing．
