TOPIC: THE MOST USEFUL INVENTIONS
The other day, my friends and I had a discussion about the most
useful invention of all time. There were many good ideas-the train,
the car, and the airplane. They're all useful, but they were not my
choices. For an everyday, useful invention, I vote for the air conditioner. I live in Taipei, and during the summer the temperature can
be 35 degrees Celsius or higher. It's so hot! I'm not joking when I say
_ that, without ah air conditioner, people here couldn't work or study.
The weather is so hot that it can make you feel unwell if you don't
drink enough water and get enough rest. What do you guys think is
the most useful invention of all time?

I don't know if I agree with you, Cindy. For me, the most useful
invention of all time is surely the Internet. we can now reach
people and do business faster. I own a clothing store in Mexico City,
and there's a lot . of competition. I also have a website. Now,:people
from all over the world can buy my clothing. With emails, ;! can
keep in touch with friends and family in Mexico and around the
world. It's faster than usual mail, and it's cheaper than using the
phone!

Jorge, I also think that the Internet is useful. But, in my opinion,
there is an "invention" that is even more important, and that's
electricity. Of course, this isn't a man-made invention, but without
people like Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta, we wouldn't
have learned how to use it. And without electricity, many of the
world's most important modern inventions would not work.
