Every day, a school bus parks in the areas of the city where large numbers of homeless children live. This bus does not transport the children to a local school; instead, the children are given lessons on the bus in language, math, science, music, and art. Since the Doorstep School-on-Wheels program started, it has helped hundreds of children. Some of the students want...

Introduction

Good morning, my name is Marina, and today I’m going to present my three favorite and most useful inventions that humanity has ever created.

Microphone

The microphone was created to address larger groups of people by amplifying the human voice. The official inventor of the microphone is David Edward Hughes in the 1870s. It was initially a carbon microphone, unlike the models we have today. Hughes, born in London in 1831, also invented the first printing telegraph.

This invention is very important to me because I like singing, and without the microphone, I would... Continue reading "Top 3 Inventions: Microphones, Mobile Phones, and Radio" »
