2.Do you have bright ideas?Ideas?Ideas for inventions that change society or,at least,make life easier for somebody?Perhaps we all do sometimes,but we don't often make the idea a reality.Recently,in Britain there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow.The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas.There were two groups in the contest:Group One was for schoolchildren under 16.Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16.And there were 11prize-winners altogether.Neil Hunt was one of the prize-winners.It's important to be able to record sunshine accurately when people study the weather.We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is.Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight Neil's is more accurate and this is very important for research into ways of using solar power.With his prize of£100,Neil plans to carry on inventing.
You can do so much with animation (动画片).Look at Simon West's idea for animated road signs.He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them.This isn't a new idea.But it is new to use these pictures on road signs."We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,"said Simon.So now,you can really see rocks falling,trains moving,horses galloping or a car falling over the edge of a cliff.Quite a warning!
The ideas in the competition are so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn't ask more schoolchildren for suggestions.Perhaps this will be the start of"pupil power".
