Writing # 2 The Cell Phone


The most important technology in the world is the cell phone. Everyone needs the cell phone in their daily lives. People use the cell phone to send messages or communicate with their friends around the world.

In 1973 Martin Cooper invented the first cell phone. Naturally, he had the honor of making the world's first cell phone call. From a New York city sidewalk, Cooper called his rival at Bell Laboratories and said, "Joe, I'm calling you from a real portable cellular telephone." It weighed two pounds! Because they were so big and expensive, at first cell phones were only used by the military and businesses. At the present cell phones, thin and light, are convenient to everyone put in the pocket. Moreover, they are cheap enough to appeal to the average consumer.

The cell phone has many benefits. First of all, it has brought us to the world village. It’s more convenient than before to communicate with your friends with it. You visit your friend in the country, even if you get lost or break your car. You should call your friend and tell him what happened to you. He will find where are you and help you to solve your problems. The iPhone, however, is a multi-function device for everyone. It combines camera and notebook, so you shouldn't carry a lot of things in your package. In addition, the cell phone is used by everyone to call someone who would deal with all kinds of complicated situations.

I must said that the cell phone has now become the most useful and powerful tool in the world; we can’t live without the cell phone.

Writing #1 My father is an important person in my life

The most important person in the world is my father, David. His wife, Mary, got cancer and passed away three years ago, so he had only two sons in his familiy.

First, he worked hard everyday in my childhood. He made much money to support our house, and made our life better. In addition, we went fishing together during our free time on the weekend. I waited and waited, but there wasn’t any fish. When I gave up, he said, ’’ If you want to succeed, you will need more patience for your aim.’’ When I was ten years old, my dad bought me a puppy as a birthday present. I named her Nancy. He taught me how to take care of her, so I needed a caring heart. The major reason that I admire my father, is that he always guide me to the right thought when I was confused. If I failed, he was always there to cheer me up. He is not only my father, but also my mother.

That's why I will always keep his words in my mind.
