Many inventions have greatly changed our life. Last week, we did a survey on “What’s the greatest invention ” in our school, and here is the result.
26% of the students chose “Wheel” as the greatest invention. A few thousand years ago, people started to use wheels on carriages. With the help of wheels, travelling became faster and more comfortable. “Paper” was the choice of one fifth of the students. As is known to all, paper-making was one of the four great inventions in ancient China. It plays an important role in spreading human culture. 18% of the students held a view that “computer” was the greatest puters not only help us to calculate at a fast speed, but also do important jobs like operating railways.
I think all these inventions are very useful and make our life more convenient. But I think the Internet is the greatest. The world becomes smaller and smaller with the Internet.
