Answer 1

【答案】The ballpoint pen

We know that the ballpoint pen is one of the most useful inventions.

It was invented by an American tanner named John Lord in 1888. And it is used to help us write faster and make our life easier. It is widely used in many fields. And the price is usually low. It is not so expensive as a pen.

And now ballpoint pens are becoming not only smaller but also lighter. They are getting more and more useful and helpful in our life. Without any doubt, ballpoint pens are getting more and more popular.
