Nobody knows who invented the pencil or when it was invented. A Swiss (瑞士人) described a pencil in a book in 1565. He said it was a piece of wood with lead (铅) inside it.Pencils weren’t popular, and people continued to write with pens. In 1795, someone started making pencils from graphite (石墨) and they became very popular. Today, people make pencils in the same way. They make the graphite into the shape of a stick, and then they put it inside a piece of wood. One pencil can make a line as long as 55 kilometers.
When people wrote with pens, they had to put the penpoint into ink after every few letters. Later someone invented a fountain pen and this kind of pen could hold ink inside it. A fountain pen can write several pages before you have to fill it again.
Two brothers, Ladislao and Georg Biro, invented the ballpoint pen that we all use today. They left their country Hungary and started producing ballpoint pens in England in 1943 during World War II. Later, a French company called Bic bought the Biro’s comp any. Someone calls ballpoint pens bics. Australians call them biros. Whatever we call them, we use them every day.

The computer is one of the greatest inventions in the world. Our life has been changed since computers were invented. You can use a computer to do a lot of things
such as collecting information, sending emails, talking with your friends, shopping online, watching films and playing games. On one hand, computers make our work easier and our life more convenient. They help us know the world more quickly and better. But on the other hand, there are always some bad websites and they are not good for people’s health. Some children spend too much time on computer games and it can influence their lessons a lot.
For me, the computer has both good sides and bad sides. We should make good use of its good sides and try not to let its bad sides influence us.。
