A
Want to say “hello” from Disneyland？Send a post card!
Beautiful scenes of paradise(乐园)，wild animals, silly pictures—you can find them all in one place. Where？On a post card! Have people always sent post cards？No. Before post cards, people liked sealed(密封的)letters.
The idea for the first decorated(装饰)post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861.He thought a simple card with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late 1800s, post cards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front—on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards. Today, post cards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.

Many people ask me what my favorite invention is. I find it very hard to answer them，because there are so many things in my life that I can choose. However，I have chosen a pen. Don't you think it's surprising?

Hello！My name is Yang Tao. Here is my invention，a Language Interpreter. It's the same size as a cellphone. But it is very useful. If you input the language you want to translate into，and then make a short speech，it can translate what you want within 5 to 10 seconds. You can talk with foreigners easily with the help of it. But it can only translate several languages. I'll work hard to improve it. I'm sure it will translate more and more languages in the near future. Thanks for listening!
