David Smith is a student，and his hobby is writing．  2  the summer of 2000，he spent four weeks on a summer camp．As well as the usual activities，such as sailing，climbing and mountain biking，there was a writing workshop with a professional   3   ．"She asked us to imagine that we were in a story．Then we wrote about our  4  at the camp．"

In senior high school David wrote a story about teenage life，and it  5 as a book in 2003．Many teenagers love his book，and as a result，David has become a   6  young writer．

David has been very lucky   7  his hobby has brought him enjoyment and success，but he is   8   interested in many other things．"I like playing volleyball，too，"says David．"I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team．  9  I'll write more books in the future，but I'm not sure．"
