Remember books？ The paper kind．With pages．In the old days before computers，to get information，people read books and newspapers．Students spent hours and hours in the library，looking for information in the old books for homework． Now students can find anything on the internet in seconds．The library was a place where everyone was quiet． Sing along to music？Never! Watch a movie on phone while they are reading？ Impossible! But now students can watch videos about their research topic as they write a paper．

Before computers， articles were handwritten． If a student made a mistake， he would throw the paper away and start writing all over again． Now？ If a student makes a mistake， he can just remove or cut it． Students type on their computers and edit （编辑） freely． But they should save their writing in time on the computer because it may stop working suddenly． Who wants to lose his hard work forever？

Communication online is easy and fun． While students are writing ， they can discuss with friends in another window ．Did you think they were chatting （聊天） with someone in the real same room？ No! They're chatting with everyone in their own room．

Technology helps us get important information in no time．In areas where bad weather is a problem，we can get warnings from our phone． Our local radio or TV station can give information about where to get help or what to do to keep our family and home safe．

Technology is our friend!

Everyone needs help sometimes． People depend on one another． That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it．

For example， what would we do without a community fire station？ If a home catches on fire，as the Jackson place did last week， it might be burned down and people get hurt..or worse． We re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire， safely． If the fire station hadn't come so fast， the Jacksons might have lost everything．

And what about our local police who protect our families， our homes and valuable things？The police have helped so many families this past year，especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains．

Think about all the other service workers we have in this community． We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary ．We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us， but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors， and nurses in our community hospitals？

Think again about what we eat every day； think again about what we wear every day． We cannot produce them， but we use them all the time． We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running． We need these people in the community． We depend on each other． Let's support each other and help each other． Only in this way can we make our community a better place．

What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination？ Right． A pen．

Though it is small， the pen has changed the history， improved the trade of countries， recorded events， carried news， and done far more work for human beings than all other tools．

Progress without it would have been almost impossible． The invention of the wheels， the introduction of steam engine（蒸汽机）， the use of electricity， all these have changed the lives of millions of people， but the pen has done more． It has taken away mountains， and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society．

In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time． The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus（纸莎草纸） was first used． The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen． It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts．

The pen is very utilitarian． We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen． An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen． The writers encourage the world with it． The students take their examinations with it as well．

Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen． Before we have been at school， our name is written on the name list with a pen． We cannot be married till we have signed． A pen records the important events in our life．

Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns． The pen is a magic tool． Whenever you use it， enjoy it．
