Sample 1

Many inventions positively change the world. One is unique and worth mentioning, and it is the invention of the refrigerator. So, a refrigerator is a machine to keep your fruits and vegetables and other eating items fresh.

Apart from this, you can also keep your medicines fresh. So, it brings many benefits because before the invention of the refrigerator, many food products used to go to waste, and people wasted a lot of time. After all, they were cooking all three meals at different times of the day.

However, the invention of the refrigerator brought a paradigm shift in their lives because they started cooking meals in advance. They could cook in the morning and eat throughout the day because the food does not get stale due to the refrigerator.

So it is a blessing for the society. It influences people of different ages because children can have food of their choice at any point in time, and for adults, it saves their time, and for old age people, they can keep their medicines in it. So it is a blessing for all the sections of the society.

Follow-ups

1. Do you think AI will replace human teachers, and why?

AI will not replace human teachers because teaching is an interactive medium, and you need interaction from both the teacher and the student side. One also needs to understand and have the student’s psyche. The teacher also needs to know about the students’ desires, and the students must adapt to the teacher’s teaching style. This scenario is not possible with AI because AI is based on pre-loaded data, so AI cannot replace human teachers.

2. What kinds of inventions can be used at school?

The inventions which can be used at schools are laptops and multimedia devices. Apart from that, calculators can also be used for various numeric calculations.

3. What household appliances make us lazy?

Many household appliances make us lazy, and the most important thing about them is the washing machine because when we have a washing machine, the tasks that can be done in hours can be done in minutes. Apart from this, appliances like microwaves and food processors also make us lazy because we do not go through the cumbersome process of cutting vegetables and cooking. Through these machines, every task can be done quickly.

4. What is the most helpful innovation at home?

The most helpful innovation at home is the refrigerator because it helps us save money because the vegetables last for a long time. It also saves us energy because we do not need to cook food repeatedly, so it is the most helpful innovation at home.
