【题目】Look at your classmates around you. You all wear the same uniform and similar shoes, even similar haircut. Do you want to be different from them? A fashionable and useful backpack can be a great idea!

Backpacks are lightweight and easy to carry on then go. They are great tools for students. They help you to stay organized and tidy. You can keep school things, books and personal items like cell phones and keys neatly(整洁地). With a special and cool backpack, you can also stand out among your classmates.

Tourists also love backpacks. With convenient backpacks, backpackers can move freely from one place to another. Meanwhile, they can also free their hands to do other things like taking photos.

But in the very beginning backpacks were not what we see today.

It is thought that US hiker Dick Kelty invented the first modern backpack in 1951. He used nylon(尼龙) to make backpacks lightweight. Then he added shoulder straps(带子) and waist straps to transfer much of the weight to the hips(臀部).

Today, backpacks come in different styles.

Rolling backpacks have wheels on the bottom. Users can pull them along the ground if they are too heavy to carry on their shoulders.

And with more people bringing notebook computers to school and work, backpacks also offer space for lightweight electronics. Most of them are in style and can be in good use.

A backpack has already become a symbol of fashion in some way. So, why not carry your fashion with your backpack?
