Activity 4
Group work. Find more information about the inventions that you're interested in, and then introduce them to your group members.
I’m interested in computers. They are mainly made of plastic. First, I think they are used for studying. We can search for more knowledge to improve our study. What’s more, when we are free, we may watch movies or listen to music to relax ourselves. Finally, we can use computers to know about more news and information around us.
So I think computers are very useful.
Choose one of each group to give a report about their interested inventions.

Student A
Student B
Student C
Student D

You may begin like this:
In our group, there are four students. Different people have different ideas about their interested inventions. Student A is interested in cars. Because he thinks ...
Example:
I’m interested in the modern pencil. The modern pencil was created by William Monroe, an American woodworker, in 1812. Before his invention, people used only a black writing stick, which broke easily and made hands dirty. Monroe put the black stick inside a wooden case, so the pencil became strong and clean. The pencil is used by students every day in class. I like it because I can write down my ideas anytime and erase mistakes easily. It is simple but very helpful.
