My magic pan
I have been thinking about inventing a magic pen for many years.
Every time when I see my classmates doing their homework
with frustration and tiredness, how I want to give them some help and bring relaxation to them; Every time when I notice my teacher writing on the blackboard with great efforts and wiping off his hand writing off the blackboard with a dusty hand , how eager I am to offer him some help and make him enjoy the happiness of teaching without dust.
After many errors and trials ,today ,I at last made it . I add
some new functions to my usual pen.
Pressing the blue button , users can enjoy some relaxation after a tiring and boring writing by listening to some beautiful songs ,soft music and radio programs for one or two minutes
through a special earphone. Switching on the “T” button , which is invented for teachers , users can write smoothly on the blackboard at the same place time and time again, as the handwriting will be cleared up automatically when the users write at the same place for a second time.
I feel happy with my magic pen, but I cannot the magic smiles on my classmate and teachers’ faces too much！
