An invention may be a new product or a new way of doing things. Inventions come about in many ways.
一項發明可以是一種新產品或者一種做事的新方法。發明會以各種方式出現。

You have pencils, pens, crayons, rulers and some books. None of these things was planted in fields. They were made in factories and invented by someone.
多數情況下,出現一項發明是因為有人努力去解決一個問題。有時候發明是意外的結果。看看你的書包。你有鉛筆、鋼筆、蠟筆、尺子和一些書。這些東西沒有一樣是天然存在的。它們是在工廠里制造出來,被人們發明出來的。

You can have wild and crazy thoughts. Remember that no idea is too silly. Many people laughed at the Wright brothers and said they would never fly. But they weren't discouraged by what people said. That's why now we have planes.
你可以有瘋狂又大膽的想法。記住沒有什么想法是愚蠢的。很多人曾嘲笑萊特兄弟,說他們永遠都飛不起來。但是他們并沒有被人們的話打擊。所以現在我們有了飛機。

把你的發明詳細畫出來,這樣別人就能懂它是如何運作的。為你的發明做一個模型??茨愕陌l明是否能像計劃的那樣工作。如果不能,就繼續研究,重新設計,再次測試。
