Ivan Fletcher loves crazy invention. He writes a Weekly magazine column called "Unbelievable Inventions"
"One of my favorite inventions is the Butter Stick. It looks like a Stick of glue ( 胶 ), but it's butter. You rub it on the bread instead of using a knife," he says. Another cool invention is Duster Slippers for pets. You put these special shoes on your dog or cat. As the animal runs around your house, it collects dust from the floor. Very useful!" A lot of these inventions come from Japan m the home of the crazy invention.
Ivan says that the British also invent a lot of crazy things. "The other day I found an invention called a Cat Seat Saver," he says. "The Cat Seat Saver looks exactly like a sleeping cat but it isn't real. You put it on your scat if you have to go to the restroom. No one will sit on your seat because they think there's a sleeping cat on it. Pretty cool!"
However, does anyone buy these things? Yes. Lucy Wade from the shopping website crazygadgcts.com says that their customers are young, professional people.
"They buy these small things mostly for fun," she says. "They arc usually looking for a present for a friend's birthday or a silly gift for a colleague."
If you have an idea for an amazing invention, send it to Lucy at lucyw@crazygadgets.

Dear Editor， I
Ken I finish my homework，I often chat with my friends on the Internet．Sometimes I play Internet games．But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer．Maybe they have heard of too much bad news about QQ and Internet games．Once 1 went to a net bar to play games after sch001．But I told my parents that I played basketball at school．I said so because I didn’t want to make them unhappy．I feel bad about lying．However，，I heed to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time．I really hope my parents understand me．Do foreign parents do the same to their children ? Please help me．

| Dear Wang Lin, I think it' s not strange for parents to want to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time. they also don' t want their children to play computer games. Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It' s never good to do things behind your parents' backs. They aren't fools as you think of them sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us. Remember: to be honest is the best way. |
