Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children who dream of evading school.

Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city.

逃学的孩子通常没什么想象力，顶多安静钓一天鱼，或在电影院里一待八小时，把同一部电影看个没完。不过，一个逃学时跑了一千六百英里的男孩，让他们全都相形见绌。 他搭便车到了多佛，傍晚钻进一条船里找地方睡觉。第二天早上醒来，才发现船已经到了加来。 他悄悄溜下船，没人注意到他。随后又搭上一辆卡车去巴黎。司机给了他几块饼干和一杯咖啡，让他在城外下了车。 接下来拦到的车没按他期待的那样带他去巴黎市中心，反而把他带到了法西边境的佩皮尼昂。 在那里，警察发现了他，当地有关部门把他送回英国。他可真替那些梦想逃学的孩子们创了项纪录。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《纪录保持者》：不寻常的逃学纪录 → 从多佛到了加来 → 继续搭车去巴黎 → 下一程却去了边境 → 被送回国，也创下纪录。再借一个结构讲自己的事：介绍一个人群，再用who说明你实际讨论的是其中哪一类。
