At the age of seven，Winston Churchill was sent to a boarding（寄宿） school named St.George.The school rules were strict.He often got serious punishment.Churchill cried loudly and kicked wildly when he was beaten.At the end of the term，he returned home with a report card and pains all over his body.The report card said that he was "naughty"（顽皮的）.
At the age of twelve，his father sent him to Harrow Public School，which was famous for training English gentlemen.Because he failed the entrance exam，he was placed in the last group of the class with worst grades.He fell behind the others in study.He gave many people the impression of low energy，strangeness ，and lawlessness. Fortunately，he still had a friend，his grandfather.The American of great wealth who had experienced the world said， "Let him go!As long as boys have the chance to show their talents，they are sure to become better." Churchill kept the words of his grandfather in mind，and secretly looked for it in his heart.
Many years later，Churchill was already a successful politician and writer.He worked as a reporter，as Secretary of the Navy，and as Prime Minister （首相） of the United Kingdom.He said， "My grandfather taught me that boys must choose their own path.I don't have special talents and my success is by working hard."
