I find it really hard to write about my favourite invention, because there are so many things in my life that I could choose.1, I have chosen to write about a pen.
Yes, I know that for most people a pen is boring, but. For2, it is a symbol of possibility (可能性). There are so many things you can do with a pen. You3write a novel or a song. Record information or draw a masterpiece (杰作).
For me, a4is the beginning of something amazing. Every day, I write a new page with my pen, and I am5paving (铺设) a path for my future. I could get into Stanford University for medicine,6the Juilliard School for music. Maybe I will be a(n)7and change the world with my discoveries (发现). Maybe I'll8a musician and touch people's hearts with my music. Or perhaps I will be a writer and move people through words ... or a9and help children grow into the people they will become.
There are so many possibilities as to what I will do with my life, but I10that with my pen in my hand, I will write a good future for myself. Tell me what future you will write for yourself!
The Internet is a big place and has lots of different kinds of information. Nobody has enough time to find something on the Internet. Yahoo gives us a lot of help.
Two Stanford University students Jerry Yang and David Filo started it in 1994.They made a list of their favorite web pages. When their list got bigger, they made a database (数据库)to keep a lot of information. They let everyone use it for free. Soon, thousands of people were using it.
Then they made a new kind of software. It could store much more information, and people can find information by using it. If you look for "animal", it will give you a list of web pages with the word.
Yahoo became a public company in 1996.As the company grew, Yang and Filo went on working hard. They put more uses in the software, such as shopping and free e-mails. They started Yahoo in many different countries and in different languages.
Yahoo is famous on the Internet. It really makes money unlike most other web companies.
