Hello, everyone.
My name is Song Hua.
Nice to meet you.
In fact, we have met many times in your English books.
Ms. Liu once asked us, “If you could invent something, what would it be?”
Do you remember my answer?
That’s true!
I would invent a time machine to travel to different periods in history.
And now I’ve made it.
With it, we can do many things, especially, we can save many people in danger.
Do you want to join us?
Excellent! You are so brave and warm-hearted!
