There have been many great inventions, things that have changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today --- the wheel. This make it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.

For hundreds of years after that few inventions had as much effect a the wheel. Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People did not have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.

In the second half of the 19^th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. They have all become a big part of our life.

The first part of the 20^th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, sound movies in 1962, the computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. this was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. it changed the kind of clothes people wore.

The middle part of the 20^th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960’s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.

By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now has a desire to explore again. The world is known to man but stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.

In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamt of.

　 The Post Office in Britain is famous for getting letters and parcels to their destinations (目的地). The problem is that we the public have to observe the rules. For example, we must put a stamp on a letter. If we don’t, the receiver will have to pay double. We often see the sign ALL LETTERS MUST BE CORRECTLY ADDRESSED. These days, this means having to use postcode (邮政编码). If you didn’t use a postcode, it’s no good complaining that your letter should have arrived sooner. Parcels are a problem because they must be correctly packaged. If Aunt Sophie sends you a jar of your favourite jam (果酱), she will have to wrap it up well. The most important thing we have to do is to address our letters and parcels clearly and correctly. This means clear handwriting and correct spelling. What we should do and what we actually do are often miles apart. Recently, the Post Office had to deliver (投递) a letter which showed a name followed by the word Arijaba. What is this, do you think? Say it out loud and you’ll see it’s just plain English; HARWICH HARBOUR!
