The Wright Brothers and the Plane
The plane is one of the most important inventions in history. It was created by Orville and Wilbur Wright.
The two brothers loved flying. They wanted to fly freely like birds. At first they studied gliders and found two big difficulties: how to take off and how to control the plane in the air. They learned flight skills by watching birds’ movements.
After solving control problems, they fixed an engine on the glider. In December 1903, they finished the first real plane flight in human history.
Planes bring huge changes to the world. Long trips that took months now only take several hours. People from different countries communicate more easily, and the whole world becomes closer. As a result, tourism and international trade develop fast because of planes.

Papermaking
Papermaking is one of the greatest ancient Chinese inventions. It was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Before paper, people wrote on bamboo, silk or animal bones. Those materials were expensive and hard to carry. Cai Lun used tree bark, plants and old clothes to make new paper. All materials were mixed, boiled and dried to form soft, cheap paper.
This great invention speeded up the development of Chinese culture. Later it spread to other countries. Together with printing, it helped knowledge spread widely and pushed the progress of world civilisation.
