Language 5/1

 About Language

My homestay family is Chinese and Thai. The mother was Thai and they spoke Thai sometimes. I had no idea. What was interesting was that sometimes it sounded like Japanese. For example, “Samui” sounds like Japanese. I also heard some sounds in English, which was fun for me. I thought that Chinese and Thai are a little bit similar. I also need to speak Italian for my future, so I want to do my best next year. Of course, I want to master English this year.

NEW Inventions

John J. Loud, an American, received the first patent for a ballpoint pen in 1888. However, it was not commercially successful and eventually his patent expired. László Bíró, a lawyer and occasional inventor from Hungary, wanted a pen that could write on rough materials as well as paper. He made significant improvements to the design and invented a practical ballpoint pen, which appeared in 1943. Bíró's frustration with fountain pens, which required constant refilling and often caused smudges, led him to create a pen using fast-drying ink similar to newsprint ink, which wouldn't flow from a normal pen nib. Helped by his brother Georg, Bíró devised a roller-ball tip with a tiny ball-bearing that would roll over the paper surface, picking up ink from the ink cartridge inside and applying it to the paper on the outside. While on holiday, the Bíró brothers met an amiable old man who suggested they try to market the pen in Argentina. The RAF had meanwhile taken up their idea because ...
