1.重點單詞講解
重點單詞：unimaginative、truant 、shame、meantime、lorry、evade、border
2.重要詞彙思維導圖
Children who play truant from school are unimaginative.
Children who play truant from school are unimaginative.
They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles.
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 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.
