Four ancient inventions in China
There are many great inventions around the world, such as trains, telephones, planes and so on. They help and change our lives. There are four ancient inventions in our country: paper-making(造纸术), gunpowder(火药), typography(印刷术) and compass(指南针).
Cai Lun invented the paper-making. It helps people make a lot of paper. This kind of paper is thin. People can write on it easily. Gunpowder was invented in Tang Dynasty(唐朝). It's also called black powder. People use it in wars. Typography is a way to print more books in less time. It saves much time. Compass helps people to tell different directions(方向). It helps us find the right way.
The four ancient Chinese inventions are useful. We are thankful to them.
