My Favourite Invention
My favourite invention is the plane. It is such a great creation that the whole world has been changed by it.
It was invented by the Wright brothers in December 1903. At first, they only dreamed of flying like birds. Two big challenges were faced by them: how to lift the glider into air and how to control it. They studied birds’ flight and solved these problems. Later, an engine was added to the glider, and the first successful flight was finished.
Planes make long-distance trips much faster. Journeys that took months before can be completed in hours. Better communication between different countries is brought by planes. Thanks to this invention, the world becomes a small global village. I believe more new flight inventions will be created in the future.

The Most Useful Invention of All Time
In my opinion, the radio is the most useful invention of all time. It was invented by Guglielmo Marconi in the 1890s.
Before the radio was invented, news travelled very slowly. Long-distance messages could not be sent quickly. In 1901, a radio message was sent across the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. After that, news can be spread all over the world in seconds. Besides, many other inventions were developed because of the radio, such as televisions. It also changed music: works of artists from different countries can be enjoyed by everyone easily.
The radio breaks the limit of distance and connects people closely. It shows how powerful creative ideas are. Without it, we would never get information so quickly. It is truly a life-changing invention for human beings.

The Great Invention of Papermaking
Papermaking is one of the greatest inventions created in ancient China, and it speeds up the spread of information all over the world.
Before Cai Lun’s paper, people wrote on bones, bamboo slips and silk. Those materials were either heavy or expensive. As an official, Cai Lun found a new way. Bark, old clothes and plant fibres were used as materials. All ingredients were mixed and boiled, then beaten and cut. The liquid was poured on bamboo screens, and the dry fibres were pressed into paper. It was cheap, light and easy to use.
In 105 CE, Cai Lun showed his paper to the emperor. Later, the papermaking skill was spread to Asia, Arabic countries and Europe. More books were produced, and knowledge was shared widely. This amazing invention shaped the whole modern world.

Dear Jack,
I’m writing to introduce a fantastic modern invention—the 3D printer to you. It is widely used in many fields now.
First, an object is designed on the computer, and its file is sent to the printer. The file is read, and the object is created by plastic layer by layer. Many things can be made by it, such as toys, shoes, chairs, man-made arms and legs, even houses and medicine.
3D printing brings great convenience to our life. Broken parts can be produced quickly, and special medical tools are made for patients. It turns our creative ideas into real things easily. I hope you can learn more about this amazing invention. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Create More Great Inventions
Dear fellow students,
All convenient things we use today are great inventions. From ancient papermaking to modern 3D printers, the world is changed by creative ideas. Every valuable invention is turned from simple thoughts into reality.
Being creative helps us solve daily problems. Inventors never give up when difficulties are met. They observe life carefully and carry out many tests to improve their works. Without imagination and courage, no new inventions will be produced.
Let’s learn from great inventors. Watch our life carefully, dare to think new ideas and be brave to try. Use our wisdom to create small inventions and make our life better. Let’s make more creative ideas come true together!
